Maybe it's Time

Well it looks like winter is finally going to show up here. After doing my Traditional Thanksgiving ski in a tshirt this year it has finally cooled of enough to make snow. Yes that's right I've finally got to the stage where skiing 2.5 KM round a man made loop is all it takes to make me happy.

It did take years of disappointing snow fall, repressed homicidal tendancies towards all non-snow lovers, and the finding of a summer obsession that I love almost as much as skiing to get there but for now I'm ecstatic to know that for the next 3 months I will be able to leave my house drive 10 minutes and have garunteed good skiing(well snow at least), and compared to swimming 2000 metres in a 25 yard pool skiing 15 KM on 2.5 KM loop is almost refreshing.

Beer of the Blog: One of the reasons I wanted to start a blog was so I could keep track of any great beers I had tasted so I've decided tolist one with each posting. This one is an old favorite Ayinger Celebrator. Almost sickly sweet, malty and it packs the big alcohol taste I love in a beer. This is the classic German Doppelbock.I once had a friend who included an addiction to this beer alongside one for very potent mind altering substances. I spent the occasional night drinking this with him out on the mountains of Wyoming. They seem like happy times now, but spending time with him was basically like hanging out with a big sign on your back asking to be harrased by Park Rangers and being preached to about the genius of dinasaur rock bands from the 60/70's. Like all true evangelists he liked to preach his gospel of drug use to anyone nearbye and I'm sure there were a few aging RV'ers in the Tetons who had no idea why this guy was talking to them about wigs and fungi.
