Westward ho (for Memorial Day)
« on: May 26, 2006, 06:31:18 pm »
Howdy to all fellow Brokies and Tremblayans:

I'm heading west this evening, to Kerrville, Texas, to be with relatives for the Memorial Day weekend. My sister Cathy and I will be driving from home to this small city nestled in the heart of the beautiful Texas Hill Country, in my opinion the loveliest part of the state--it's about a two-hour drive, heading southwest. We will be heading deep into ranching country, and as this will be my first visit to Kerrville since seeing Brokeback Mountain, I suspect Ennis and Jack will be strong in my heart during this foray. I will be a little bit further west, a little bit closer to you lucky Bay Areans with your BBM-friendly Castro venue ;), and a little bit closer to Wyoming and its mythical mirage called Brokeback Mountain. With this trip, I think on Rufus Wainwright's lyrics: "One more chain I break/To get me closer to you..."

From deep in cowboy country, I salute all you lovely folks, and wish everyone a safe and happy holiday.

Jack and Ennis, "together in Eternity..."

Scott

I'm off to Salt Lake City in the morming myself, and I'll see plenty of mountains there.  I'll think of J&E, and all y'all.

Kerrville is indeed a lovely spot.  Went there once, years ago.  Godspeed.
