"Take Me Home, Country Roads..."

[Hanging Lake; a sweet lake high up in the Rocky Mountains]











Well howdy folks!

I just returned from a trip to my old hometown of Denver, Colorado. It has been over 11 years since I've graced the Mile High City with my presence and I decided now was the time to do so. A good friend of mine accompanied me on this last-minute trip and we decided to drive there and back using a snazy rental car. The car was a tan Taurus, and we named her Tawanda since she had some attitude and sass.

I was able to see my old homes, hot-spots, restaurants, etc. It was weird to see how everything seemed to change, yet it all still felt the same. My two goals of eating tacos at Los Arcos and spending a day at Water World were accomplished. Water World is an AWESOME water park that I spent every summer of my youth at. It was as amazing as I had remembered it being. Rock on Water World. Oh, and the tacos from Los Arcos...served with the world's greatest chips and salsa...were heavenly.

The trip was a blast and it was cool to look back on the things that helped make me who I am today. Perhaps I'll begin erecting a memorial or museum dedicated to all the places/establishments that shed light on the life of the great Jason Palmer. Or would that be a little arrogrant?

Despite the trip, I have come to discover that as of Labor Day, I will be without a great deal of work. Yep, 90% of my theme park work dies down and I will begin scrounging around for some new work (perhaps you'll find me begging for spare change on 3rd Street in Santa Monica). I will still remain employed by Disney and Universal, but will not work at Universal until November and will work sparingly at Disneyland. Unless, of course, something comes up.

I am currently excited to see what God has in store and in what ways He will provide...as He ALWAYS does!

I hope all is well out there and happy Labor Day Weekend to all!
