What are you doing right now?

Awesome farkin day guys thanks !! 5 0f us headed up this am . It was 20 degrees, 5 inches fresh pow, 22 runs 5 hrs of skiing . We rocked the upper mtn in the am and hit the backside in the pm . did a little off piste stuff not much since my Atomics are better suited to speed but Fresh pow makes a great day as u know .

GREAT COVERAGE no ice , all headwalls were 100 % covered no scrape off bcuz of low density ---ie no lift lines at all > We were taped by a crew i assume they were putting together some pr stuff ..sat we go back to werk


One of my buds was rockin the edge hit and hit some deeper pow in the flat lite early in the am.. Well he did a "Flying Wallenda at speed and landed on his helmet - the guy is 76 yrs old a former SLU hockey jock in fabulous shape ( 5 day a week gym workouts ) gets up shakes it off and skis another 4 hrs @ "Warp speed "


On the way home he says can you wax em up for me tonite i'll pick ya up at 7:30 Saturday its gonna be EPIC --- AWESOME so we go back to werk then .. i'm feeling great but will in the gym tomorrow am for a workout --- life is good

So back to full speed yet? I like to swim on the day before and after a ski day(s) as a workout. Low impact and great workout.

So back to full speed yet? Yeah Root we started full speed first day out and were wide open today too but remember i KNOW THIS mtn like the back of my hand and it s NOT a really hyper steep venue except for some quick headwalls in spots BUT at my age its a good place to go

I'm sadly concluding that I'm on the disabled list for a while. I'm supposed to fly to Beaver Creek on Sunday morning. Ski trip flushed down the drain. I exploded my left knee in the parking lot moving cars for the plow guy on Monday. No ACLs so my lower leg folded sideways when I slid a little on some ice. I was kind of hoping it would be functional after 3 or 4 days but no luck. Not the first time this has happened but the recovery time is pretty variable.

Geoff, hope that heals up quickly for you!

I'm reflecting upon the day. Classes are going great this semester. I had a wonderful talk with my Asian History professor after class tonight about my future options and what the possibilities are of incorporating my interest in her department into a Minor (this is my 3rd course with her). I've found a great flow so far, though I still have one more class that starts Monday and I'm fearing it will kill this awesome vibe... I hope not. There aren't any other options so I'm stuck with that class.

I haven't been skiing much but life is pretty good right now.

Glad to hear that classes are going well.

I was planning on taking today as a sick day since I had no finals to give and nothing really to do but I couldn't do it. I think I drove the lady nuts with my hemming and hawing.

Instead, I am here doing random paperwork and making "rehearsal copies" of some new music to pass out Monday. My mind is at Sunday River, however.

Geoff, sorry to hear about the injury. Hope you are on the mend soon!

Just got in from another great morning winter mountain bike ride. All the snow is gone in the woods here now, just good, grippy frozen mud! This is my 3rd straight day of riding before work. Gotta love the crisp air..plus this week, its been fairly warm...back to the upper 20's-30 at 7 a.m.

Time for a shower and then a couple of apples, a banana and a cup of tea for my drive to work! then taking my oldest to a teachers v. the Harlem globbtrotter like team at the HS tonight and then Catamount with both kids and the wife tomorrow. I'm psyched. 32 and bright sunshine is the forecast!

Thank you! I love going to school, but the last couple of semesters were quite challenging. Not to say this isn't (I have a Capstone Advanced-Level course in English this semester), but the professors all are great so far, the content is interesting, and the reading isn't excessive. I have a lot of papers to write this time around, but (aside from the "substantial length" Capstone paper) they're not really anything to be afraid of.

Now... the Minor. That's a whole other issue. Discovered last night that while there are ample classes offered for this to be a Minor, even a Major, it is not yet. I would have to apply to a committee with a 2-3-page proposal for an Individualized Major, get 3 advisors to approve my plan of study, meet before that committee, and potentially design my own independent study Capstone course for this Major (potentially not, since I would be a double-Major). Plus I am technically past the deadline to do this as I'm supposed to have at least 30 credits left in study and I only have 11 required after this semester (though as I said, I already took 9 credits toward my proposed Major). I am not sure at this time if I want to add all that work just to get a line on my degree saying that I studied Asian History at length. On the one hand, I'm going to do it anyway, so why not get recognized for it (especially since it could possibly help in teaching in some way), but on the other hand, I know I did the work anyway and I'm not looking to get into a business position, so why would it matter?

Decisions...decisions....

First GEOFF ---------------------heal well , ,here you were being a good guy and that happens --- sure hope it
mends well and fairly soon

Sevie .minors are fine and given todays demographic your interest may be of benefit especially if teaching near a "community" that matches well with that demographic . But give the situation today with the Global economy even traditional hs populations should have exposure to that information --

As you begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel things become even more focused and may lead you to additional graduate study to fully realize your potential ---------good luck with whatever path you choose -- you will succeed

Warp, we have to follow our passions, right? I acknowledge what you're saying, though there is no way any high school student is studying Asian History to the depth that one would in college, unless s/he is taking college courses; heck, that is true of just about any college topic. My professor was very honest about the reasons for/against, and I admire that. She's in a cool position that she used to be a CIA analyst (and Asia was her area of specialty), so she's been part of the real-world application of her knowledge, plus she taught in private school and as an adjunct at the university, so she has perspective on the things I'm considering (mainly the private school-vs-university level teaching). I already have the English Major; this would be a Major in addition to it. But I'm not sure about it yet... I can still do the work without the recognition, but again, not sure about that. I asked my professor for additional input and she's going to discuss it with her colleagues as well. That's the problem with fulfilling your degree requirements at Regional Campuses; there isn't the breadth of options available as there would be at the Main Campus. Looks like my M.A. will be in English, though. I'm always fine-tuning my plan.

Right now, back pain is back. Need to clean up a bit before preschool and errands.

 

[Warp Daddy]

Just back from the gym , am now going to wax up a couple prs of skis for tomorrow -- beautiful sunny day out here today and again tomorrow
