I started a half hour earlier this morning, so I could be at Snowmass when the lifts opened at 9:00. I was the only one at breakfast. Amanda was on duty. I caught the bus at about 8:10, and was on the slopes at 9. What a beautiful morning! There was light powder on the … Read more

I got up at 7:30 today, showered and went downstairs for breakfast. David, the “nice hairy chest and belly” television guy came down shortly after I got down there. He’s free-lancing right now for ESPN covering the X-Games which start here next week. He came a few days early to get some ski (snowboarding) time … Read more

I started waking up at about 5:00AM, and forced myself back to sleep until 7:30. I showered and went downstairs at about 8:00 for breakfast. Margie and Bill were down there. Margie and I had a conversation about our “Sleep Mates.” She mentioned that she’d wished she’d brought hers along as Bill was “really cracking … Read more

Robert got up as soon as the alarm went off at 5, made coffee for me and then a sandwich for me to take on the plane. As I finished getting ready, and the final packing, he loaded my skis, boots, and luggage into the car, and warmed the car up for us. So helpful … Read more

I was hyper-productive at work today, working all morning on my book. I also got an EAGLE communique out, which had to go out before I left for vacation due to some events coming up this weekend. We had great discussion about READ MY LIPS at MSBC today. Everyone had done their reading assignment, and … Read more

Had a real productive day at work today. The heat is on to finish my Guardian/Safeguard Agent book before I leave. It was announced that Susanne is leaving the team (sadness), and Jim is taking over as team lead (good choice). Robert came over for dinner, and we had pork chops marinated in teriyaki-ginger marinade, … Read more

Did a crossword puzzle with Robert during breakfast. He left after that. I napped. Prepped a few veggies (scallions and celery). Had a rather boring dinner… yellow squash, scallions and red bell pepper mixed, oven-baked French Fries, and a bologna and cheese sandwich. Two days of work this week, then I’m off to Aspen on … Read more

We woke up and MMMMMMMMed, and then had a great omelet breakfast! Robert cooked, and it was yummy! He spent some time job-hunting online, while I finished going through the closet in the guest bedroom. Later, he helped me around the house, breaking up boxes and putting stuff out at the trash. We looked for … Read more

I met Jim Laing for lunch today at Southpoint Mall. We ate Chick-Fil-A. Afterward, we walked around the mall once, and outside where he showed me where a restaurant we’ve had a suggestion to go to for an EAGLE lunch was. At the bottom of the escalator, before we went outside, we were approached to … Read more

I received my annual rating at IBM today. No surprises. Book club meeting was good. A new guy, Dave, joined us. He’s a librarian at Duke. John S. went over the discussion questions, and some of added comments at the end. Russell served a nice spread, and his dining room table was quite interesting with … Read more
