This is what it’s like to be a psychotherapists’ kid. Today was a bad day. Not terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day, but a slightly bad day. Like no rainbows. None of these bad things are that bad. But if they make me grouchy, and they do, then I get to consider them bad, even if…

Food Trucks! Aspen/Austin Connections! 90210! Say la V!
So much excitement for food trucks! Aspen is jam-packed with amazing, talented people.
