Harriman Hike Feb. 26, 2011

Well this past Sunday's hike in Harriman was a pleasant experience. I had the pleasure of Sara's company, despite her not feeling too well, and we hiked up this one mountain to see the spectacular view it provides. There's something so peaceful about this spot, I absolutely love it. Someday I'd like to hike a little further on this particular trail, but probably not till the snow melts. Maybe I'll find another cave!

Florida in 2011 for the 2nd Time

Sitting on the balcony of my room down here in Sarasota. Such beautiful weather we're having down here. I'm not looking forward to going back to NJ's cold weather tomorrow. I just love the view I have right now... Sunset, palm trees, water, boats... It doesn't get any better than this. OK actually, it could with good company...
All this just reminds me how wonderful a gift life is and what a beautiful world we live in. I wish everyone would take a little more time to take it all a little less for granted. My new goal... Take none of this for granted anymore..
Good company... That's what I'm missing right now.

Windham & Creek

So I have to say this was a memorable day. It is currently the 14th of January 2011, but I'm referring to the 9th and 13th particularly.

On January 9th, I went to Windham, NY with some friends from BWD to hit the slopes. It was the first time I was on a snowboard since I broke my ankle over a year ago. I knew just about everyone who joined the trip, but I spent most of my time with Alex.

Alex and I felt it would be good to stay close to one another, I guess to keep an eye on one another, but also because I think we felt we were in the same place. We took a few runs down the bunny hill before hitting the real slopes. We

spent a good portion of time at the fire pit, but the final run of the day was shared with Lorraine, Bill, and Denise.... All good people...

That was all last Sunday... Last night, the evening of the 13th, Alex and I went up to Mountain Creek to have a little fun. The two of us did great in my opinion. We took four very successful and enjoyable runs down the mountain. We plan on going back next week and I honestly can't wait!

Saturday, Alex and I will be practicing our DM skills but I know we're both looking forward to our next snow adventure... At least for this season... She's a lot of fun and I look forward to seeing her again!
