Another post

It's been a long time since I've posted anything. My last post was quite awhile ago. So what have we done these last 6 weeks. This past weekend, we took the family up to Sun Valley. I did the Boulder Mountain Tour, which is a 30K cross country ski race. I finished 40th out of 700. I was hoping for top 25, but I'm still not there yet. The kids loved Sun Valley. After the race, I took Dekker skiing up on Dollar Mountain while Colleen and Haydenne basked in the sun at the swank base lodge. On Sunday, Colleen took Dekker up to Dollar and I rented a trailer and cross country skied with Haydenne for a few hours. It was a great weekend. Work has been busy, but the economy is hitting here as well. Business is off about 30%.
Heading to Jackson Hole tomorrow and then next week a bunch of old friends from Michigan come into town for the week. Should be good fun. If I think of anything interesting, I post it.

Christmas and a New Year's sick with food poisoning.

Christmas was great for the kids. They got everything they asked Santa for. Dekker got the "city" he asked for and Haydenne got "Cinderella". We were stuck in the house all day on xmas due to blizzard like conditions. We tried to get to Goldener Hirsh for our traditional xmas fondue, but the snow sents us back home. So I went to the store and bought some to eat at the house. People were skiing to the grocery store since it was easier than driving. Deer Valley got 28inches in 24 hours. So the skiing was good after we dug out of the snow. With the snow, the elk have returned. Just about every morning the elk have been feeding behind the house before they head up the hill at sunrise.
Work has been busy with the holiday crunch. I met a couple of friends for a bite to eat after work on Dec. 30th and woke up that night with food poisoning. I've been on the couch for 2 days now. The bad news is I missed a ski race, the good news is the Red Wings/Blackhawks game from Wrigley Field was on. Back to a big departure day at work. I have another race on Saturday. A bunch of the US Ski Team members are back in town for the holidays and are planning on showing up. Nothing like racing against the best in the country after spending a day with your face in the toilet.
