As most of you know, I am currently in the midst of a battle with a particularly nasty bout of tendinitis. This puts me in a pretty tortuous position, living at what is pretty much considered the center of all-things outdoor recreation, and essentially, all things which I cannot partake in. But there is one activity quite common in the area that I have found quite suited to my current condition: the hot spring. Apparently, they are everywhere around here – a fact I did not know earlier this month when A and I made the 2 hour drive to Glennwood Springs, CO to stay in a fancy hotel and visit their famous hot springs.

No Bake Goodies
Yesterday was the day I have been waiting for for a very long time. My new computer arrived! My old one pooped out earlier this month, hence the lack of posts, but I plan on making up for that now that I’ve got technology back in my corner. So here it goes: Continue reading “No Bake Goodies”
Joy in 2012
Happy New Year single reader!
It’s a beautiful, blue sky day here in summit county. But since yesterday’s blizzard came with winds so high they whipped the snow off the mountain before it could reach the ground, we’re still sorely lacking suitable ski conditions – which is probably for the better as I continue to heal. So rather than spending the first day of the year on the slopes as I have for so many winters past, I’m spending it at home for a little R&R and some quiet contemplation.

Update: Healing and Housing and Snow
Once again, it’s been quite a while since my last update. I think I was waiting for some big news or event. The truth is that life has been pretty quiet since the November festivities died down. My days have more or less revolved around two things: healing my very stubborn feet and ankles, and trying to find a place to live for the season. Continue reading “Update: Healing and Housing and Snow”
Fall and Winter
At the end of last summer I posted a short video with pictures set to music of my summer. I explained how making a commemorative slideshow at the end of each season is a little tradition I’ve had with myself since college. To see that post, click here.
I got lazy last fall and winter. But as lately I’ve found myself without television and internet and therefore much more time, I decided to combine the two seasons and keep my own tradition alive.
Enjoy.
The Things Kids Say
3/27/11 – 9:02am
Still sitting in the living room at Canyonlands. Still waiting for the sun to do it’s job. Still reflecting on my time in Summit County. There is one post I always wanted to write, but never got around to, and that is one documenting all the funny things my kids have said. I probably can’t even remember a quarter of them. I can’t think of a single day that something hilarious was said that I should have written down. But here are some that I can remember: Continue reading “The Things Kids Say”
Catching Up
3/27/11 – 8:51am
I wouldn’t feel right delving into my newest adventures without writing at least once more about my time in the mountains. I truly wish I had written more there, but as wonderful as it was everything about my job was so exhausting that I had little energy to write at the end of my days. There are things that I’ll miss and things that I won’t. Here’s a list of both: Continue reading “Catching Up”
Dreaming of Spring…
It is the eve of my three-day, Professional Ski Instructors of America certifying exam. While I should be concerned with the movement analysis of bend, twist and edge; while my mind should be preoccupied with the definitions of flexion, extension, rotary and edging – tonight, I find myself distracted Continue reading “Dreaming of Spring…”
