Mark an urban awakening.

Pretty cool page put together by William’s Cycling.  Commentary and videos on the major climbs by Mike Hernandez – one of the most feared riders of the NorCal race circuit (but a super nice guy) – is pretty insightful.

Of the five resorts I've been to this season, Heavenly, has by far been the worst.

Sanny and Dina help themselves to a hearty meal prepared by Tyler's character of an uncle Scott. Still cooking on the stove grill is some venison -- shot (legally) by Scott while out horseback riding at night a short while back; we heard this story and many others over the course of the night.

Another amazing day in Idaho.

Apparently we had a feline (mountain lion) visitor in the evening.

Sanny, looking particularly fine modeling her frosted grandma hair (it was 8 degrees).

We spent four hours at Bogus Basin in Idaho. Normal price is $20 for the evening but they had this crazy deal for out of state visitors -- 1/2 off?? We paid $40 for 4 lift tickets!
 
Anyway, driving back to our friend's place now.

Just landed in Boise ID where I'm meeting Sanny and a couple of her (our?) friends for a week of snowboarding. This is my view of the plane alongside ours -- maybe the smallest airliner I've flown on.

Amazing!  Tim Burton is turning this into a feature length film to be released... 9/09/09.
