Wow! I am really awful at blogging, based on my lack of activity for a zillion years. Instead of trying to catch-up, I'll just start from recent...
Skiing this winter was pretty good. Pajarito had early snow (for New Mexico), and I also made trips to Wolf Creek, Taos, and Breckenridge. I have a marathon in June, so I've started training for that and it has put a dent in my ski plan. I've also managed to keep up a fairly consistent swim schedule, so I'm in pretty good shape right now. It's nice to be in good enough condition to be able to ski all day without being totally beat.

On this blog, I'm really only interested in writing about interesting or fun things happening in my life. Right now work is very hard and frustrating and there is probably no good reason to blog about it.
Last Friday it snowed in Los Alamos and we got up to the ski hill early and got first tracks down several runs. As it turned out, a crowd never materialized so we had fresh powder all day (see video link and look for the 3/2/12 movies). Now, if you really want a laugh, watch the movie called Breckenridge, Devil's Crotch. At the bottom of that gnarly run, a skier says to me "I wish I could ski that like you ski that!" The fact that I recorded this completely unsolicited praise can only be attributed to Divine intervention - that comment pretty much made my weekend.
