First time. Fingers are chapped from soaking in snow-covered gloves. No excuses for not writing in my pen-to-paper journal, but maybe a chance to get some thoughts out of the head. Not sure where to go. An introduction? Some griping?

Matt and Fish are the only two I know who use this blog-biz. So, maybe I tailor my writing to them. Does anyone surf blogs? If I know that Matt and Fish are the only two nerds reading this I could be sure to include tails I know they would like. Adventure in the snow-covered mountains of south central CO. My job is to teach high school kids how to ride their snowboards like surface-to-air missiles - it is a discustingly fun job at times. Other times it is as draining as the flu. But mountain living, working with kids, and communicating with people outside my valley seem like a good mix.

Scariest thing that happened today: Sitting on a tall stool working on a computer in the office, put my hands over my head for a stretch and the next thing I know I'm going ass over tea kettle. My head narrowly made it through a desk and filing cabinet before connecting with the floor. four inches in either direction and I might not be typing this right now.

Funnest thing that happened today: My friend DT is in town with Saab marketing people and he let me drive one of the turbo models on snowy back roads and on the highway. Turbo and snow.

Who reads this shit anyways?
