Walking
..in the Rattlesnake this afternoon. Plans to go further afield after work this morning were delayed by a car that would not start. Fortunately, this was solved in a little over an hour by purchasing a new battery. The truck has spunk it hasn’t had in months! So I continued my exploration of the ridges…

One Week
..to go, and things are where they should be. Not much else to say, other than to comment on the classic case of life, in such situations especially: the more you get done, the more you’ll get done. It cross-pollinates from one thing to the other. Though it was nice to sneak off with…

Left overs
I hate leftovers, bland, gullatinous, icky. But maybe I’ve been going it all wrong until now. Yam, Spinach and Romano Gnocchi with a Cranberry-Japaleno Chutney Take mashed potato-entities and add a bit of salt, then flour until mixing produces something no longer sticky. If you have very dry mashers adding an egg might be advisable.…

Thanksgiving
Thursday was a good day. We woke up in the back of the truck in a rest area near Bozeman, and needed breakfast. Where to find food on Thanksgiving morning? IHOP, of course. Then it was on to Yellowstone, where we found little snow, but a perfect day. Clear, bright, blue, shockingly still. The above…

Happy Thanksgiving
M and I are off the Yellowstone this evening, picnic dinner for skiing tomorrow in tow. Mashed potatoes, mashed yams, duck, cranberry sauce, cookies, pumpkin seeds, etc. M stole the duck photos, but tried Youtube rather than Vimeo, and ran out of time before she had to go to work. So I win: http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2357638&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=c9ff23&fullscreen=1…

That time of year
The time to make lists, and then check things off them. What I have left to do this semester: Percent done, obviously. I’m in a good spot. Goal is to finish the portfolio project and human behavior presentation by Friday noon, so I can then take off and do some solo ski camping in Yellowstone,…

Ghost Trails: The Review
Note: I shamelessly volunteered to read and review Jill’s book primarily because I wanted to read it ASAP, and for free. I’ve been reading her blog for a couple years, corresponded with her a few times, ridden with Geoff, etc. Reader beware. Endurance mountain bike racing has a lot to do with the Marlboro Man.…

Orangie and Pinkie
Orangie has been my faithful iPod for almost two years. Two KMCs, two KTRs, C2M 100k, etc, etc, etc. Even through all the Sentinel trials, it survived horrid volumes of sweat and other abuse without complaint. Until last week when I left it in the pocket of my shorts and M ran it through…
