Well, we had a week or so of pretty decent (40′s to 50′s) dry weather, but now we’re back to powder days again. Springtime on the Rockies.
I actually managed to get myself out to the golf course a couple of times, even played two holes once.
Then we awoke to a new 12 inches in the driveway. There’s probably twice that atop Aspen Mountain. I’ll have to get up there and find out.
For the time being, all I can say is:
THANK GOD I GOT A BUNCH OF YARDWORK IN BEFORE ALL THIS SHOWED UP!

Once again, the ESPN Winter X Games are upon us.
The weather’s milder this year than it has been in the past, which is a blessing, I guess. (We could always use more snow.)
I heard a radio interview with a competitor a few years ago, the day before he was going to attempt the first-ever complete back flip (360 degrees, vertical) on a snowmobile.
He said that the intriguing thing was that you really couldn’t practice it. You just had to go out and do it. Yikes!
He managed to pull it off, the next day.
But he also said that he’d spent 7 of the last 12 months in the hospital, with various injuries.
Which made me think:
THANK GOD I DON’T HAVE TO DO THIS FOR A LIVING!
