Nothing and Chewed Bread

by Joe Hickman, editor, HaLife.com

     I just returned from a week in Colorado. Wow, what a majestic place.

     We did absolutely nothing in Pagosa Springs and Durango, two of the greatest places to do nothing you'll ever find.

     I know. I'm retired and I can do nothing better than anybody.

     I did stand on our balcony one afternoon and watch my brother-in-law fish from the lake bank about 30 feet from our condo. Fortunately, he didn't catch anything or fall in, so it was a successful fishing excursion.

     My wife and I and her sister and her husband went to all the high places.

     I particularly enjoyed Mesa Verde and Wolf Creek Pass. At Wolf Creek Pass, we were so high I couldn't breathe. But when you're not doing anything, breathing's not that big a deal.

     At a museum on Mesa Verde I learned how to make chewed bread. I copied the recipe because I knew you'd want it.
