Beach flag football season kicked off last weekend, and I’m super happy to be back on the sand. Both of my teams have a ways to go, but we’re gonna be good. NFL football season also kicked off, which makes lazy Sundays (post-vb, naturally) even better than before. I’m in DC this week for EMBA…
“She’s my little whiskey girl …” No, that song wasn’t written about me, but were I an actual celeb, maybe? Point is I am decidedly not a vodka person. I’ve said before that if you see me drinking a vodka soda, you know I’m trying to be drunk (that night) and skinny (in life, not…
Athletic pursuits have made up my life since at least junior high, when I really started caring about basketball. I focused on that sport pretty quickly, and got to be pretty good at it. 😉 My identity has since at least partially been defined by being an athlete, so when it came time to learn…
I mentioned in Feel Good Friday that I’m playing with a new-to-me DSLR Canon EOS 10D. I am LOVING learning this new skill! It makes me very happy to attempt to capture some of the beauty around me with something better than my iphone. Denali is the star of most of my pics, but that’s…

I can’t do a handstand pushup, but it’s not fear, it’s strength (lack thereof). So I don’t get those “breakthroughs.” But in skiing I face a lot…
Remember when I learned to ski? Here’s a photo. I’d say learning to snowboard went much better … In all seriousness, I liked snowboarding a lot and picked it up faster than skiing. I felt more confident … don’t know if it’s the strapped-in feet, that I already knew the mountain, or that I had…
I usually only tell you guys the good parts of skiing–that I made it down Ajax on Sunday, that I used bigger skis, that I yard saled but didn’t really hurt myself. What I don’t talk a lot about is the fear I feel a lot MOST of the time skiing. That Ripped Guy of…
