<description><![CDATA[
   When my sister was 16 years old in 1971, she took a ski trip to Purgatory with her high school Young Life group.
  Being from Texas, she and most of the other kids didn't own any official ski-wear. So they wrapped their socked feet
  in plastic bags and Scotch-Guarded their jeans to keep from getting wet on the slopes.

   Back in Texas, the residents don't get to experience the four seasons like we do here. Autumn is but a momentary
  cool-down, when a Blue Norther blows through. Spring is wet and hot. They really only have two seasons &#150; summer and
  winter. Sometimes they have summer in winter, but they never have winter in summer.

<description><![CDATA[
   As I stated before in a previous blog, I was 60 pounds heavier when I arrived in Durango in 2006. Within a year of
  absorbing the natural, healthy lifestyle that epitomizes this area (and going through a divorce), I lost all the
  weight I had gained in my many years of unhappiness back in Texas.

   As a transplanted Texan living in the Four Corners, I have found one thing to be true: locals love to make fun of
  us. We are an easy target, after all, especially this time of year when the weather grows cold and snow is
  inevitable.

   Festivals like Telluride Blues &amp; Brews attract an interesting assortment of people from all walks of life and
  all corners of the earth. If I'm lucky, I get the chance to meet some of those folks. Last weekend was no exception.

<description><![CDATA[
   Back in July, my boyfriend and I fell asleep watching TV one night and were awakened several hours later by the
  soulful, rocking sounds of a female musician on a rerun of Austin City Limits. It was at that moment that E and I
  simultaneously discovered and fell in love with blues guitarist and native-Texan Carolyn Wonderland.

   The woman knew she looked good. She walked into the bar with her head held high, eyes darting left and right,
  confident smile upon her rosy red lips. She had big hair &#150; a nest of bleach-blonde ringlets piled high on her head.
  Her makeup was thick and heavy. Glove-tight jeans and a conchoed belt completed her look, along with a black T-shirt
  adorned with the words: "Texas Women Are

   Ok, I confess. I'm a native Texan. I was born in that state and lived there for 41 years before moving to Colorado
  three years ago in the midst of my mid-life crisis. As I often say, I'm not a native Coloradoan but I got here as
  fast as I could.
