At this moment we need to remember that it’s crazy what we could’ve had. Here’s REM doing the most stunning version of their song Country Feedback. This song is about you. m.youtube.com/watch?v=LAhk...

It’s on our short list but we’ve agreed no decision until after daughter’s wedding. I love NM. We’ve been semi planning a road trip bc I really want to see the chihuly workshop in Seattle but I’m afraid we’d be the same way about the PNW!
