A grapevine it's not

(from my Ticketmaster review) When I heard Sting was planning a show with the Royal Philharmonic as his backup I figured it might be worth seeing. However, I wasn’t prepared for the sublime evening we experienced. Let me begin by saying the Mohegan Sun arena was a really good place to see this. It’s smaller-than-average [...]

It dumped on us on my birthday!!! We went out snowmobiling with Candi and Larry and, though it’d started snowing a little earlier, the further we got from the cabins the more is came down; larger and larger flakes. We took off into a wind-sheltered area and just chilled out for a few minutes. The [...]

Wow did we have a great time! Heavenly, though warmer than Orlando, was a great mountain. Once the icy, groomed conditions softened, the runs were long and sweeping, giving me plenty of time to get speed and nearly scare myself. My new board is just fantastic, with a shape that kept me upright even when [...]

What is up with hits cold!!? Since the 2nd it hasn’t gone over 50° in daylight, with lows of 27° in the evening. Curtrent;ly it’s 36° with a windchill of 30°…and it’s 10:40; and we call this FL? WTF!! Of course we had to run out and put everything we could in the greenhouse, whose [...]

Thanksgiving was wonderful; probably my favorite yet. Only 13 peeps! I got to chat with just about everyone at length. The weather was warmer than usual which merely meant we didn’t have to don the triple layers to wander outside. As usual, much ingestion of food occurred and bedtime came quite early. Then again, so [...]

Wow, I posted the Cabin in the Snow pic on wunderground and got my first Approver’s Choice. I’m so excited!! I’ve gotten so many emails commenting on how beautiful the pictures is, how serene the place looks. I even had a couple of people tell me I should contact Hallmark to sell it as a [...]

Just got back from the Grand Mesa. What a absolutely incredible place!! My first quasi-camping trip, considering we had a wood burning stove in our tiny cabin and an outhouse steps away. It was just five of us Saturday; four on Sunday as Jeff wasn’t feeling well and took off.  After an awesome breakfast, I [...]

Saturday AM we took off from Breck headed toward Grand Mesa. Left around 9:30 since there was a snow storm coming and we wanted to avoid that at all costs. It didn’t work all that well. Got through Vail Pass and all the way to Parachute no problem, but as soon as we turned into [...]

Wahoooo!! yesterday was great! It was a beautiful day, all day. Sunshine makes it so much easier to ride. Not only can you see what you’re doing way better, it’s just easier on the body and mind. We went all day. Started across the street here and made our way over to Peak 7, which [...]

Awesome day snowboarding :) Snowed all day, no sun, lotsa wind up top. Powder everywhere. Wow!!! So it’s 19:30 here and we’re so freakin beat. We’re watching the Westminster dog show. He he!! Candi came up with us and stayed over last night. Just stayed in the room, ordered pizza and had drinks in the [...]
