Happy Stuff

This winter has been a good one for skiing in the PNW, but even by Seattle standards the sky has been oppressively grey and dark and wet, and for the first time that I can remember in my life I find myself wishing for an early spring with lots of sun and warm temperatures. I never believed in things like SAD (seasonal affective disorder) before, but now I wonder. These past few months have cast a gloomy pall.

I think we need a Happy Stuff thread to balance out the heavy stuff that's happened recently. A cheesy idea? You bet. Just post something good that you've done or experienced or noticed lately. I'll start with a recent picture of myself and the kid from Whistler.

Something good that I've done? Why, signed up for this forum of course! :D

Here's a pic of me @ Whistler with my ski-class... Yes, I'm THAT JONG-ish.

My two-year-old son just walked up to me holding out his finger and, smiling, he said, "Here you go, daddy. A booger."

You creating them by sharing goo. Wouldn't you expect something so created would continue the tradition?

Watched Italian craftsmen create magic from metal, leather, glass and plastic.

What does he say when you pull the string?

From last year since I don't have any recent ones on the work machine.

Still makes me smile.

They have been posted before, I know, but first ice of the season, the first attempt on THE Cody ice-climb for November = pure happiness! (and terror, thank all that is that keith led it, but that is beside the point)

This may seem cheesey but this is me at the Jackson premiere of Anomaly. This was a very special day for me as it was my first premiere of a movie that I had a lot to do with. Plus it was the first time it snowed in Jackson this season!

dude, not to shit on your thread, but where the hell were you the last month and a half? You know, when it was sunny and didn't snow at all for at least 3-4 weeks. AWESOME, CAN'T WAIT FOR SUMMER!

Actually I can...bring the snow while rainy season is here...I prefer pow over corn/groomers.

I'm just sayin', bro.

just to throw in my good vibes too....

Me and all my best ski buds right here.

Sunny and warm Cali skiing with the hill almost all to ourselves.

I mounted up my old DH boards from high school last night, dusted off my 80's fartbag, and signed up for a cancer research Vertical Challenge to raise money for research. It's in March so this is the quiver I'm taking to that in case it turns into a spring pday. Might be cool or might be lame but there's a party with beer afterwards so that brightened my day.
