while I was out…
caught some head high waves, (swell always comes as I’m leaving), took Mom on her first snorkeling adventure, drank too many fruitycoladabrewskis at the swim up bar, rocked hot karoke, saw an endangered turtle lay eggs on the beach and learned waaaayyyy too much about Speedos…. Came home, opened Vail, Crazy Inlaw Turkey Day, rode the Beave with Art’s crew, saw the best shred movie ever, met some male models, broke a snowboard, saw superfan Huub, and got Tattood.
The weatherman promises tonight will be the answer to our prayers here in the high country, so keep your fingers crossed. 8 + inches means I get to play hookey!
What were you up to?
Sorry Penpals, I Promise to be better.

You may have noticed one of the latest businesses to list itself in our business directory is Dirtbag Diaries. This is a podcast put out by Fitz Cahall and sponsored by Patagonia. Fitz contacted me and thought our members might be interested in these podcasts. I checked one out and they’re quite interesting. Next time you’re working on your computer, or surfing the web, listen to one of these podcasts while you’re doing other things online. It’s a good listen. Here is the description for a recent episode, “Help Wanted“.
There’s no such thing as a perfect job. There’s always a catch – nagging bosses, gossiping co-workers, crummy benefits. That’s why we get paid to work.
But what if there was a magical place where you could get paid to climb? At the center of this kingdom is a mountain, and all you have to do is climb it. The job pays well and during your four hours of paid break you have the run of the place because your boss is too busy moonlighting as a talking duck to discipline you. It also comes with some sweet perks. The employee lounge is actually a secret lair atop the peak, and you’re allowed to cut the line to ride the roller coaster.
What happens when a bunch of climbers are left unsupervised with the keys to the Magic Kingdom? Find out. Some jobs are perfect, even if Tinkerbell is out to get you.
