Gone skiing

January 22nd, 2008 · 3 Comments

That’s right.  I’m going skiing today.  It just so happens, that I turned 40 today.  To celebrate, I’m going alone to Snow Bowl in Flagstaff to enjoy the 36-62 inches of snow they have up there, during the middle of the week, when lift lines are hopefully short.  The weather should be spectacular.  I’m even planning [...]
