Lindsay Vonn I am not.  However, I had a great day of skiing today, even if my thighs are on fire now (and not in a good way).  We are staying with friends in Keystone this weekend to get our final fill of winter.  To be honest, skiing has been a struggle ever since I [...]

Right now it is 7 degrees Farenheit – expected to drop well below zero overnight.  Boulder is under a winter storm warning until this evening, with 4-6 inches of snow forecast just for today.  Em is at school, but Jay is home because, if by chance school closes early, I can’t simultaneously go pick Jay [...]
