It’s Not HIS Fault

Thanks to Continental Airlines, the saga continues… After a GREAT 3 days in the mountains of the Chattahoochie Forest, I hopped in the car with a couple of guys to head back to Atlanta International Airport. My flight took off at 2:15pm and we headed to Bush Airort in Houston–a flight that takes [...]

Final Destination

I couldn’t sleep Sunday night. And it’s not anything spiritual like over at Steve McCoy’s space. It’s just my old buddy, Insomnia, back for another visit. At 2:46 a.m. I got out of bed and flipped on the tube. Reruns. Infomercials. Fitness equipment that promise great abs in only 4 minutes a day.

At 4:45 a.m. [...]

La Familia

After spending a week with some of our extended family in Colorado, I’ve been reminded how strange a lot we are. And how common the human condition is. Our extended family is a wonderfully irritating blend of Caucasion, Hispanic, and Asian Americans. Protestant, Catholic, Reformed, and Agnostic. Alcoholic and tee-totaler. Plastic surgery-obsessives … and slobs.

Last Dance With Mary Jane

One more time to *feel* the pain….
Today was our last day skiing Winter Park. It was awesome. I spent the afternoon on the Mary Jane side of the mountain. She’s 30 years old this year…the gal’s got spunk. Perfect powder and all. I caught some righteous air (for an old guy) while totally diggin’ the [...]

Training Day

Last night I went on a ride-along with my brother-in-law at the Ft. Collins PD. We got a domestic disturbance call and headed out to the north side of town. The young, Hispanic male, (let’s call him Juan, because, well… that’s his name) was just coming down from a 3-day meth/crack bender and was pretty, [...]

Winter Park = Juniper Tree

Tomorrow, Heather, the boys and I head out for Winter Park, CO. for a week. I’ll be spending my spring break carving through the 70″ base of powder with my board over the next 8 days. Check out the ski conditions here.
Although I’m taking my laptop, my email and blogging will be sketchy at best. [...]
