watching the sun rise in Colorado. Woke up at 5, actually, but managed to go back to sleep til 7. Now lazing with coffee before time to pack # Loved “Invictus”, except the sometimes too-intrusive “stirring music.” Didn’t need “soulful, uplifting” ballads to make the point. # @jeffreytaylor tooting your own horn is hard for [...]
