Chris is Back on Board 😀
And we celebrated by hitting the slopes in June! Better late than never 🙂 Chris has been working impressively and inspirationally hard at regaining mobility and strength since he was injured earlier this year. We thought the snowboard season was lost, and the golf wasn’t looking too hopeful, either. Two of his greatest passions. But […]

From Snow Banks to River Banks
One of the many benefits of snowboarding/skiing is meeting incredible new people. If you want. I mean, there are definite times for solitude on the slopes. But sometimes you just wanna be more social. When you ride on days that are less busy (like I do — hitting the morning runs on weekdays), you can […]

100 Days Slope Celebration
It’s always fun when a ski/snowboard resort announces their 100th day of operations. Some resorts used to offer $1 lift tickets on the 100th day. I took advantage of that to try the slopes the first time I ever landed on a board. With inflation, it’s often $10 — still amazing. Our place doesn’t have […]

When I was in college, I was given ads encouraging me to get a credit card. Then I was offered all sorts of bells and whistles to enhance my marriage. Next came the coupons for baby gear. Soon after, it was all about optimizing my career — then retirement incentives. It appears I have now […]

Super Wise?
In the very early 2000s I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed. I remember it clearly since we had to drive about 90 minutes each way to get it done. My kids had earned some free pizza from a reading program they were part of so we decided to hit Pizza Hut on […]

Sharing “Resuscitating Canaries”
This past weekend I was going to blog. I even know what I’m writing about. But as I was going through my Reader, I found a thought-provoking post I really wanted to share. I clicked the Reblog button, but got distracted. Now I see it reblogged, but I have no idea to where. Due to […]

I don't sew, but I write — patching together pieces of my life.
