As I ironically post about FALL over at DailyHap, it dumps snow on Aspen. We may still have fall yet, but it’s time to start saying our goodbyes and hello to winter…

Fighting Fall Depression
Me being a fall-hater has been pretty prominent on the blog this year (um, here, here, here, and in a facebook album entitled “Trying To Embrace Fall” …). But my autumnal revelation was recorded in this article for DailyHap: Recipe for Fighting Autumn Depression. Click over, read, come back and check out more pics of…
Ute (Oooooh-tay)
Ute has easily been my favorite go-to hike this summer and fall. It’s just so convenient, quick, and rewarding. Nali and I sprinted in intervals up it today, over a yellow brick road of fallen aspen leaves, collapsing on the rock at the top. Amazing. this view, about 2/3 of the way up, is one…
Indian Summer
How to extend some summer pieces into early fall … use with caution. Even if you’re in fall-denial (like me), there’s nothing worse than looking like you don’t know what season you’re in. Stick to darker patterned dresses and earthy toppers.
Real Hiking Motivation
I wrote about hating hiking here. But I do appreciate many things about hiking: the beauty of my surroundings, the relatively low-impact exercise, and how much Nali loves it. I also love that I can watch the seasons literally change before my eyes. This is less than thirty minutes away from my house, door to…

Austin: My Generation (Again)
Because apparently I can’t stop supporting a show that I enjoyed so little I started playing solitaire on my phone while watch but DID YOU KNOW IT WAS FILMED AT MY HIGH SCHOOL? My Generation Second Episode Watch Party featuring Mehcad Brooks (hottie soldier in My Generation) at Abel’s on the Lake <–coincidentally based in Aspen.…
Aspen: Golden Leaf Half Marathon
I had full plans to run the Vasque Golden Leaf Half Marathon, named by Trail Runner as one of “America’s 14 most scenic races”, which gains 970 feet in elevation on a narrow, winding singletrack before peaking out at 9,400 feet above sea level … but then I ran the Aspen Valley Half Marathon in…
Aspen: Oktoberfest. In September. Whatever.
Maybe it’s a smidge odd that the Second Annual Oktoberfest in Aspen is being celebrated at the end of September … but nonetheless, the Wienerstube celebrates German traditions with live music, authentic Austrian and Bavarian food, and, naturally, beer! wienerstube.com, 970.925.3357
My Generation (Fall TV)
Tonight, ABC will premiere My Generation – a new scripted drama set in Austin, Texas. And filmed at my high school! Maybe not a lot of awesome has come out of that school (except me, and my bro) but this show actually has made quite a splash with pre-reviewers. It’s kind of expected to be…
