Happy Valentine’s Day. I love love. I love celebrating love. I do not love Valentine’s Day, but we are having friends over for dinner tonight to celebrate their engagement, so I am thrilled to be celebrating love on this love day! I am coming up on a year married to the love of my life,…
The joy of skiing. Sometimes I shock even myself with how much I love skiing. It’s honestly such a pain: layers and special socks and what boots to wear pre- and post- ski boots and layers after ski and how to keep your hair from freezing and hauling all the gear and stuffing your pockets…
The Super Bowl Ski Weekend trip is THE BEST. Finally getting my achilles + new skis + new boots dialed is THE BEST. Getting to see baby Byobi from doggie boot camp is THE BEST. Bob is gonna be THE BEST. Jessica at Blue Moon K9 is THE BEST. Working hard and loving my job…
This week I have been called both a bulldog and a karen, with basically the same meaning but obviously very different connotations. I just call it tenacity, and it’s a part of my personality that I very much like—it has set me up for success in an overall corporate world that still values masculine-style aggression,…
They just feel like home.

We already knew last weekend was gonna be good, as the Sunday crew traded sand for (some) snow in Mammoth. But the singles flock—the 4 singles on the trip holding it down in the bunkroom and cruisin’ in the singles truck—got to enjoy the sweet, sweet victory of the Eagles in the Super Bowl. What…
