Thank you so much for those sweet words.
Sounds like you have had the wandering eye...Sounds like you may be getting itchy feet..I think its a good idea to not get rid of your cabin..You may change your mind at some point..You may want to go home again....

I guess me wandering around is showing me how many places exist out there in the world. I sure have done my share of seeing new places this summer. I guess too with it getting close to me getting these degrees I am wondering what to do with them. I'm not sure what I would do with them here and I am really, really burned out on my present job. Of course, I haven't ever left here yet so it may just be things going through my head. But yeah, regardless I will not get rid of the cabin.

Yes Truman, Thomas Wolfe was from Asheville and he did write you can't go home again. Actually, it was called Look Homeward Angel, but I've never read it yet. His house is still here that he talks about in the book. They were able to build it back after a huge fire there back a few years ago. They said it was arson and they have never caught who did it. I can't imagine why somebody would do that, but there are a lot of crazy people in the world unfortunately. Oh yeah, we have the Biltmore House too.
So John Denver went back home to the Rocky Mountains, but he had never been there before? I didn't know that. How can you sing about a place you've never been too?

Jack, I believe Truman was alluding to John Denver's song "Rocky Mountian High":
He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Comin home to a place he'd never been before
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
You might say he found a key for every door
When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
On the road and hangin by a song
But the strings already broken and he doesnt really care
It keeps changin fast and it dont last for long
But the colorado rocky mountain high
Ive seen it rainin fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye
Rocky mountain high (high colorado) rocky mountain high (high colorado)
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below
He saw everything as far as you can see
And they say he got crazy once, and he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend but kept his memory
Now he walks in quiet solitude the forests and the streams
Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
And the colorado rocky mountain high
Ive seen it rainin fire in the sky
You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply
Rocky mountain high (high colorado) rocky mountain high (high colorado)
Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
More people, more scars upon the land
And the colorado rocky mountain high
Ive seen it rainin fire in the sky
I know hed be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky mountain high
Its a colorado rocky mountain high
Ive seen it rainin fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire and everybodys high
Rocky mountain high (high colorado) rocky mountain high (high colorado)
Rocky mountain high (high colorado) rocky mountain high do de do
