It was a unique experience driving west on U.S. 6 from Denver this morning. The fog was up in the city but not yet from the foothills, so during the drive, it really felt like, "Hey, what did they do with the mountains????" It just looked like empty sky up ahead. That could be part of a movie or something. Someone work on that and send me a 1 percent cut.

Anyway, in the CD player was "Afterthought" from Jihae. It's an intriguing bunch of remixes from her last album. The moody, melancholy, mellow songs are now sexier, more fun to share and mull over. My favorite is "Cement Garden."
