I thought the orange paint would go well with the cabinets and floor, plus there are some orange specs in the counter top.

Jackson Browne, live on Soundstage

Friday, September 4th, 2009

A few weeks ago, I caught Jackson Browne’s recent performance on the PBS show, Soundstage. It was captivating. PBS sells some of the Soundstage performances on DVD so I immediately checked if this show was available — it wasn’t.

The other day I was delighted to see one of the bootleg blogs I read posted a link to the audio: Jackson Browne: live on Soundstage 2009.

One highlight of the show was “Time the Conqueror,” the title track from his latest album, which shows he definitely hasn’t lost his talent for songwriting.

The City of Madison held an event today called Ride the Drive. They closed almost six miles of downtown streets to all vehicular traffic, and let the bicyclists have free reign for six hours.

Hiking through Copper Falls

I also visited Copper Falls State Park while vacationing in Northern Wisconsin earlier this month.

Copper Falls State Park

The most scenic views of the park are along the Doughboys’ Nature Trail. Along that thick, wooded trail, you get great views of the deep gorges and park’s largest waterfalls.
