Quotes of the Day

ISOLATION

When your lips see my lips they bring That sorrowful and outcast thing My heart home from its wandering.

Then ere your lips have loosed their hold, I feel my heart’s heat growing cold, And my heart shivers and grows old.

When your lips leave my lips, again I feel the old doubt and [...]

Market “corrections” …

So the past couple days, the stock market has been down; including a little mini-crash (or “market correction”) yesterday … what does this mean? Well, for me it means that since Friday, I’ve lost almost $4,000.00.

So what do I do? I take the opportunity to rebalance, shifting some money out of my stable value [...]

Sleep … beautiful sleep …

Wonder if I’m ever gonna get any that’s not induced by either prescription or homeopathic drugs or hormones?

Time for an Ambien-induced coma; hopefully I’ll be able to wake up at my normal hour in the morning!

At least I got my good deed in for the day, by taking food to an ailing colleague [...]

Solitude

What an incredible day at Solitude and in Big Cottonwood Canyon in general … simply gorgeous!

Sick pow in Honeycomb Canyon, which completely worked my legs. Tried several new (for me) runs, including the Cirque (coming off Powderhorn), Serenity (coming off Eagle Express) and Rhapsody (also off Eagle Express), hitting as many runs through the [...]

More super fresh!

Officially, only 7 more inches of fresh pow at Solitude, but Snowbird got 22 inches, so I’m betting there are some stashes of deep hidden away at Solitude …

Drinking my morning coffee; then shower, get dressed and I’m out!

Pics later!

[...]

Super fresh!

Five inches of fresh snow starting at about 3:00 am until 7:00 am this morning up at Solitude, with another 9 to 16-inches expected during the day today.

Looks like Saturday’s gonna be a great ski day, clear, sunny, and not too cold; all I need to do is get my pull myself out [...]

Poetry Friday

COLD NIGHT: IMPROMPTU

Wind stirs the cold woods, a frosty moon gleams, Absorbed in talk of elevated things, midnight come and     gone, (Roast yams on skewers lie forgotten in the hearth) Silently we listen to the sound of leaves rainign on the     window.

  — Jakushitsu Genko (1290 – 1367), Japanese Zen poet.

Mmmm … fermented grapes!

Those who know me, know that I tend to prefer distilled grains (or grapes, in the form of Ciroc), but occasionally, I’ll have a glass or two of a really incredible wine …

This evening, I met a friend up in Park City at the Spotted Frog for some conversation and a couple of glasses [...]
