In celebration - of?

The question of the day...

Or is it?

Good evening, my dear friends! It may even be morning for some of you. But that makes no difference to the likes of myself -- we have things that need to be done at such late hours!

Ok, so there's another reason. Has anybody heard of Terminal Man?

No, that's not what's going on here. Just similar. I wonder if he ever stayed the night in Denver...

Long story short, if you desire. Debate tournaments, much traveling, ski trip, stuck in airport overnight. Short enough? :)

This latest adventure started last week. Roughly. Almost a week and a day ago, in fact. 12 AM Saturday night -- we got up and drive 3 hours to Dallas, got on a plane at 6, watched the sun come up somewhere outside from between complete strangers. And that was just the first flight. From Denver we took a mid-morning flight to Aspen (and slept the whole way). A lot of hurry-up-and-wait-ing going on, or certainly after we arrived in Aspen. The ski place (oh yes, did I mention it's a ski trip?) had weird management policies, the condominium wouldn't let us in until 4ish, and lunch wasn't exactly easy to come by.

How about I sum up again? This entire past week consisted of a whole lot of skiing, some eating, some sleeping (you think!), and of course just enough debate/speech prep to realize that I'm not doing nearly enough.

The snow conditions in Snowmass were almost ideal: powder the day we arrived, snow for most of the week to keep that layer of powder there, and a whole lot of back country (extreme terrain, YEAH!) deep powder. Yes I did "drag" several people down the tough ones quite a bit :)

I might well have some pictures up from said trip soon. However, realize that I didn't take a whole lot of pics, and they're not all much to look at.
But I've got some from the last tournament!

(That's a whole mess of html, by the way. Not that I would know what all of it means)
