Sugar and Spice

The last long weekend of summer has come and gone.  *Sigh*.  When I was skiing full time the weeks after Labor Day Weekend were a mad rush filled with training, paperwork and other preparation for the ski season.  Fall didn’t really exist other than a crammed month of so of stuff to do before it [...]

Last week was the Perseid meteor shower and it was spectacular at my house.  I live up a canyon and my cabin’s closest neighbor is the ski resort 1/4 mile down the road and they’re closed this time of year.  No light pollution and a clear, crisp night.  Sounds like a reason for a party! [...]

There was a full moon this weekend.  The July full moon is special.  It’s midsummer.  The days are long and hot.  The nights bring cooler air, but there’s still plenty of heat from the day left behind.  The rising moon sheds plenty of light.  It’s a night for a picnic and skinny dipping. There’s a [...]

I hope everyone had a safe, fun and a little bit naughty 4th of July.  I know I talked to quite a few of you over the holiday weekend and we had some of our own fireworks together.  I loved spending part of my holiday on the phone with you boys, sitting on my deck [...]

I was able to take an unexpected vacation last week.  A friend invited me to be his co-captain on a river trip, so it was kind of a working vacation but still fun in the sun and water!  It was great to get away for a while and recharge, even better because it wasn’t planned. [...]

A lot of people take vacation in the latter part of July, early August.  When I was a kid that was when the plant shut down and everyone took their 2 weeks.  I now live in a vacation destination and I have a different perspective of vacationers, they’re a big part of our economy here.  [...]

I wanted to do something to lift the summer doldrums of the dog days. People tend to come back from vacation and have a hard time settling back into daily lives after. Its still high summer and so very hot, but now vacation is over and no real holiday until Labor Day and that’s a [...]

I know, I know, I keep telling you I will post about my continuing sex education at college and my sea change from an ugly duckling. I will, I promise, soon, maybe even next week, but I wanted to write about my 4th of July holiday. I was on my own last weekend, my lover [...]
