Go East, young(ish) woman!

On tomorrow's agenda: a flight to DC.  I'll be there for the weekend and will be back to regularly scheduled blogging early next week!

Never look directly at the sun

This photo doesn't show the amazing colors that were in the sky today (blues and greens and pinks); it was like nothing I had ever seen.  Nonetheless, I thought it was a neat picture!

Boulder clouds

While I'm on the topic of my recent acquisitions...

Here are my new skis, the 2010 K2 Lotta Luvs.

Shopping update

I was drawn back to the outdoor gear...and emerged the proud owner of this 12-oz., 800-fill down jacket.

Getting into the outdoors -- or at least, shopping therefor

Neil found a great warehouse sale of outdoor equipment and gear.  The company, GoLite, has a giant room filled with ripstop nylon and GoreTex and down -- oh my!  We each paid the site a visit yesterday (and ran into each other there), walking away with down jackets and ski pants.  There may be a return visit in my future.

Door-to-door artist

I just had someone come to the door and offer to sell me a sample of his artwork -- a cartoon book that, he informed me, would take me about thirty minutes to read.  The price of this cartoon book was however much I deemed it was worth.  In the event that I did not need a cartoon book, then I should feel free to make a donation to him anyways to "support the arts."  Entrepreneurial, I suppose...
