…fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity.
One of the subreddits I follow and like is GenX. I do identify strongly with a lot of the GenX stereotypes so it’s nice (read: comforting?) to read about other older people and their memories/upbringing/current situations. Along those lines, one recurring theme is the freedom we had as kids back in the 80s. I don’t […]
In the annals for travel, today wasn’t the worst day or even close, but it did have some moments. I arrived at the airport in plenty of time for my flight. About 10 minutes after we were supposed to board, they canceled the flight due to maintenance issues. I was bummed and frustrated, but it […]
Last weekend I stayed at the Verb Hotel in Boston. I loved that place. It’s a rock n roll-themed hotel (former HoJos). The inside is decked out in rock n roll memorabilia and each room has a turntable and mini Marshall amp speaker. The rooms have LPs in them and you can take more from […]
Tonight was the yearly trip to a Real Salt Lake MLS game. I don’t know any of the players and I really don’t know much about soccer strategy. I do like going to sporting events, cheering crowds, stadium hot dogs, and being outside. It was a great game, Real Salt Lake won 4-0 and I […]
We spent a few hours today at Mirror Lake. It was our first time there, but we will go back a lot. Gorgeous! We won’t just go back to Mirror Lake, we’ll go for all the hiking trails and lakes along the route to Mirror Lake. So much to explore back there. The Uintah mountains […]
Friday I left Utah to come back home. I was ready. I left at 5:30 a.m. I was 0 for 0 in Utah. I didn’t see any police in speed traps and didn’t get any speeding tickets. Sadly, I was 1 for 4 in Wyoming. While it was still dark I went by a Wyoming […]
And so ends the first half of my ski season. Yesterday was my last day skiing in Utah until March (more on that in a minute). When I left my place it was overcast, but that was it. By the time I made it to the mountain, it was a full on blizzard. I decided […]
This weekend my wife came out for a visit. She arrived late Thursday night and left early this morning. We had a great time (at least I did). We skied each day. Friday and Saturday we didn’t go too long, but Sunday we spent all morning there. She took a lesson while I skied around. […]
This morning I ran downtown. Along the way I saw some nice houses, but I stayed on my path. This afternoon I decided to go for a short walk to talk a look at the houses. I quickly realized that the brown street signs were for historical streets so I went up and down a […]
Two more great days of skiing this week. Warm, sunny, packed/groomed snow. It was ideal. Because I went Wednesday and Friday there was also little or no lines at the lifts. 90% of the ski I skied right onto the lift. Once or twice I had to wait 5-10 minutes, but that was only for […]
