That’s longer than I’ve been married, held a job, owned a home…it’s the longest I’ve done anything that takes about 15 minutes.
Family and friends are welcome to join in this landmark occasion yet again:
The ESPN College Bracket Tourney.
They finally let you log in just using Facebook, so it’s easy to join!
Let me know if you’re interested in the group info.
Living here goes by fast. I promised Ski Utah I’d try things other than skiing – so far I’ve gotten up one hill with snow shoes on. Barely counts! Every morning I wake up and I’m pulled to another mountain, another challenge on my skis. Then you blink and the winter is over.
I was over here http://www.ginabegin.com/
and then found this:
http://mountainenthusiast.com/2011/02/17/top-10-best-things-to-do-and-see-in-utah/
A list of things to do. While I’ve tried most of the beers and all of the honorable mentions, I thought it was pretty funny skiing was the only thing I’d done on that list.
MY QUESTION TO YOU:
what is something from your HOME state that is sitting right there waiting for you to do that you haven’t?
I’ve never wanted to be a snowboarder so bad.
When I watched this yesterday, it had around 5000 views. Look at it now.
Just a little bit longer until I get there and stop being jealous of KD in the sun and JC party-hopping…
So today I’ll remind you all that this is the SIXTH year that I’ve done brackets for March Madness.
And since I stopped watching basketball immediately after Uconn beat UT and both teams started sucking, I plan on doing very well in the brackets this year. But I think I should make a prize for DEAD-F-word-Last, don’t you?

Living in Park City is probably 95% of what has me so excited about the Olympics this year. Many of the athletes have been training here and it’s gotten me very interested in the games. Not only that, but learning to ski changes everything I think about the sport. Wanting to get better has me reading about skiing, trying new skis, and even working out through ski season to be in the best shape I can. It had a lot to do with our decision to get the house here, I love San Diego but I’m not as good at any beach sport and I’ve become at skiing, and it’s become a real passion for me since spending last winter here.
It’s laughable compared to these athletes competing, but just like watching a Warren Miller movie, seeing the Olympics makes me itch to get out on my skis and try my hardest to get better and better, even if it isn’t at 75 miles an hour. I can’t wait to try more runs, to gain experience and just have a blast on the mountains.
I also think a major contributing factor to my excitement is just how accessible the Olympics are this year. We don’t even have cable at the house, and yet there’s plenty of online video access and news coverage for me to see. This page -

a link to all the athletes that are Tweeting, has me totally hooked. It’s like I know these people. I get a glimpse into what it’s like to be there, what they are thinking. Too cool.
Holy forever ago, this was Jan. 15th!
The night after The Bravery concert I mentioned here. If you recall, I was too worked up about something else to even tell you about our night. It happens.
We were running late due to house work, and only made it to the tail end of the women’s finals and got to see the men’s finals and the fireworks. But it was worth the hike up the hill. It was packed but we found a spot on the far right and got a great view. They had a fun DJ and like I mentioned on Twitter, I’d go every night for fireworks at the resort, too cool! Kids and adults alike were running around and sliding down the hill.
MK took a ton of pictures, too many to post here, so here’s an album:
