Ben visits

A few weeks ago Ben came to visit again from New Zealand. It was great to see him, but I wish he had brought Melanie. Of course, we ate Mexican, drank too much beer, went snowboarding at Vail, and generally caused some chaos around the fine city of Denver.

Lenny, Jesse, Mel, Jeff, Rodrigo, and Ben...

Pneumonia

Current music: Laura Veirs - Year of Meteors

Finally figured out why I have been sick on and off since the end of January. I have walking pneumonia. Finally, I have started some medication for it and maybe I can get healthy now.

Shaun, Mario, and Paul visit Colorado

Current music: Cold War Kids - Robbers & Cowards

Shaun, Mario, and Paul came to visit a few weeks ago and I am finally getting around to posting some good stuff that came of the trip. It was a short-lived trip, but I know they will be back soon.

Some of the best moments...


Here is a video of Shaun on Over Easy coming down from Chair 2 on Vail's front side:


Note that the black line on this map is where the video was taken. This might give you some comprehension of Vail's magnitude. Remember this is only a map of the front side of Vail:
