Bob Weir and Dead music all over the radio, in businesses today, except at Alpine Meadows this morning which was playing Abba when I arrived. At least I think it was Abba. I have never knowingly listened to them but Mama Mia is an Abba song isn't it. I mean no one would cover it would they?

So apparently he can do CPR so there's that....

And it wasn't a powder day....

He can't do a decent massage? This just gets worse and worse. (For the record neither can I )...

The snow guns of January.
Any place at Alpine they weren't blowing snow was great.

And this is the same husband that kept you waiting 4 hours at the airport. His redeeming qualities must be over the top for you to keep him.

Kids racing today at Sugar Bowl. I rode a lift with a Big Sky coach. They drove. Impressive. Beats class. I rode with one of the racers who was on the phone with her mom, she was hoping the meet would last long enough for her to miss Spanish.

Light snow on and off this morning but it just...

My mom was a great gift giver. When I bought my first house as an intern (interns can't afford houses any more) she gave me a wok I still use weekly 50 years later. When my wife and I bought my second, 42 years ago, she gave me a book on homemade cabinets and shelves that started me on my hobby of...

I am the proud owner of six sheds. I don't know why.

The local PUD gives away uninsulated, unlined, nylon shopping bags that are light, take up no space in the car, last forever, hold a ton of shit. I might use an insulated grocery bag on the rare occasions I buy ice cream but everything else can make it home without it. I pick up trash along the road...

Sort of. I believe it was some part of a calf that should have been thrown away. (Pancreas, I believe.)

[old goat]

He has a rental--a house he couldn't sell when he left town--and he'd love to sell it. Being a landlord is not for everyone....

No stars here. All the assholes in the neighborhood keep multiple outside lights on all night.

I tried that in France. With a French only menu. Bad idea....

My 40 year old kid asked me some retirement planning advice. He asked me what was the number. I told him that by the time he retires there won't be a number.
