another typical week with a cold...

started the week going to mom's favorite resteraunt that she has never been to... a fantastic meal... then work as usual and Sarah making me great food (someone has to) which has lots of vegies to help me eat better... got a cold and have had a wonderful weekend of DOING NOTHING... in fact Fri night came home from work at 7pmand slept from 8pm-7am... twas great to be able to do that!
hope you all had a happy and healthy week... tis back to work again tomorrow with a busy week... so much fun :)

A typical week...

work, some hiking (including a great skin up and ski down at night), some hanging out with friends... spent the weekend doing PALS (pediatric advanced life savings) and Taxes in between hikes... then went to a great burger/sushi joint with our neighbors on Sun night and ate next to the male ski freestyle xgames gold medal winner... fun...

Dad's visit...

Well another week has passed. Dad came and spent 4 days skiing up a storm. He was a stud and did great! We even got him some snow. During his visit I had some busy days at work but got to spend some evenings with him. Last night was on call but had a no-hitter so got up today and went hiking at Smuggler in town and this was at the bottom. All of those animals were photographed on Smuggler within the last several months. Pretty cool to be hiking with deer, bear, cayote, red fox and mountain lion... although the mountain lion does scare me. It is supposed to dump today and since I have tomorrow off will likely board and then it is another VERY busy week ahead. Hope you are all healthy and happy!!!
Love and Peace, Me... (written Sat)

PS today (Sun) was the first real powder day of the season after 12 inches last night... see the line at the gondola that i missed since i went to 2 creeks instead... there were reports of great skiing on all the mountains from friends who got on each (Brad did Tihack in the am then Aikido then met me on Snowmass and he is now SLEEPING)...

people in the office and more people sharing call…
2. Found a favorite new quote… “In the meantime livepeaceably and do good works for the universe.” And a new stance… “in our family we stand for peace and love”
3. Got Mercy and used it a lot this year!

Feeling old and curmudgeonly with the end of the yearthoughts… (see below pix and reference to article)… But also very happy to be alive… I hope next year is even better for me and everyone…

Love and Peace…Kim
