2008 Jan13 FRESH SUN AND SNOW

What a difference a day can make.
Saturday in Boise--gloomy, overcast, not much be cheery about (thought the Packers did beat the Seahawks.
Sunday---drove up toward Bogus Basin resort and got up above the very thick carpet of clouds to some fresh sun. Amazing what a difference the just getting up above the hill can do. Being in town can be deceiving when it is cloudy and overcast for days, it seems as if it must be that way everywhere. Not true. Remember to just drive out of it a ways. I hope next week when its the same way, I won't give up and hide indoors---but instead, drive out in search of some Fresh Sun

2008 Jan1 BANNER RIDGE SNOW SHOE

A New Year---2008.
Snow-shoeing on new year's day is almost becoming a tradition.

A trip to Banner Ridge north of Idaho for Snow-Shoeing with the gang. Plenty of recent snow, sun, and now wind----just about a perfect day.
And a good reminder of why I live in Idaho, not just to work in an office all day, but to be close to such amazing places as Banner Ridge in the winter
Only down part to the day was hurring home to watch the Sugar Bowl---and seeing the WAC Champ Hawaii Warriors be crushed by the Georgia Bulldogs.

2007 Dec 25 CHRISTMAS ON THE RIVER

After some extra time in the airports and a surprise night spent at the War-Bonnet Inn in Butte, MT, Christmas was a blast this year. Some of the time was spent, hanging around down by the Missouri River: playing on the ice with my nephew, or viewing the old bridge at night.
