On Saturday night Bob and I went to Toad Tavern to listen to Andy McKee. He plays the acoustic guitar, but he uses the entire instrument, not just the strings. He uses the body of the guitar as a drum and comes up with some amazing songs. Click the picture below for a sample of what he does. Andy is from Kansas, which finally gives me hope that Kansas isn’t the worst state in the country.
Today we went to Roxborough State Park to check out some cool rock formations. Yes, I am aware that I just got really nerdy by saying “cool rock formations”. You’d think that after nearly failing geology in college I wouldn’t care, but these rocks were pretty impressive. There was a short road leading to the main part of the rocks and from there we had to get out and walk. After 5 minutes of walking, Bob’s herniated disk was bothering him so we couldn’t hike on any of the trails to get closer to the rocks. We’ll let him heal for a few weeks and try to check out that park again sometime this spring or summer.
