Another birthday has come and gone. I’m anther full year older, and just a little bigger.
This year, I celebrated my birthday up north at my Mom’s house. I realized that even though I miss the snow and hills, my life is easier without being burried under 200-300″ a season. What I do need more of (besides cowbell) is regular snowboarding. I’ve used my current board less than a handful of times, and iirc, I bought it in spring of 2006. Needless to say, I can hear it crying in the closet sometimes.
That said, Jackie and I got out this past weekend for a few hours at Mt. Zion in Ironwood. We started late, and had to go to Hobby Wheel to get some missing things, but it was a lot of fun. No major injuries, and Jackie got to work on her toe-edge technique. She did very well. Hopefully she’ll get some more practice on it before she forgets it all and has to start over. I was a bit rusty, feeling exactly as if it was only my third time in as many years. By the time we were done, two things were clear to me: 1. It’s a good thing I’ve been working out or I’d have really hurt myself, and 2. I need to ride more so I can adjust my stance better.
Thughout the ride, I could feel muscles in use that I usually only feel after a workout. Had I not been exercising, it’s that I’d have pulled something. And, during the third run, my right knee started to hurt. Analyzing the pain and how it fluctuated with my movements, I think I need to adjust my stance narrower. The way it twists during a left heel edge turns was just beyond tolerance.
I other news, today is Vivaldi’s birthday as well as the writer of http://whilepooping.com.
that’s all for now! Have a happy Thursday!

Gannon took her away…(system of a down)
My links in twitter haven’t been working. I think I fixed the problem. This is a test.
I’ve been working out regularly for the last 2 weeks or so. I feel better since I started, and I’m sleeping better too, though Continue Reading »
Hi all! It’s late and I’m testing a blog app on my phone…if you can read this, it worked. Good night! :-)
Chocolate MINI
I was looking up the names of colors on the MINI website, and I couldn’t help but build on to my liking…again. I want.
And I was thinkin’ ‘bout myself and there she was.
In platform double suede, yeah there she was.
Like a disco lemonade…

NOTE TO SELF: When tethering on your laptop, save your work more often than usual. Trust me, I’m you.
Now, let’s start again…
It’s a deceptively beautiful day out today. The sun is shining, it has been all day and cloud cover is only now starting to appear. The sky was a bright blue, the kind that makes you want to go outside and revel in the outdoors and all of nature’s glory, no matter what you’re activity of choice is. The deceptive part is that it’s –12 deg C outside and there’s a good breeze goin’ on too.
Aside from that, it’s been months since last I posted anything of significance, so I’ll try to fill in the gap because there were some bigger events in there.

…and I’m stumblin’ in again.
It’s a B E A utiful Friday outside, I know because I can see it through the window. This past week, in spite of it being shortened thanks to Memorial Day, has felt like it’s been dragging on. Now that today is here, however, I feel physically refreshed. Of course this could be entirely due to the fact that I was able to get some extra sleep this morning.
