birthday: elvis, david bowie and me

H went skiing on Saturday and, when he came back, declared that he'd had a great day - a direct quote and one that I hadn't heard for a while.  The last round of storms had moved out, leaving a nice 4+ inch refresh: the snow was light and very soft.  The day started out sunny but clouded up in the afternoon, the overcast skies serving to preserve the conditions for the next day. H skied all over: Catherine's Area, East Greeley, Gunsight, the High T to the general Stonecrusher area (it was so foggy at that point he wasn't sure where he was).  He skied hard and had a lot of fun, despite doing additional damage to his already beaten-up skis on the Gunsight run.

Keep it classy, Alta skiers (on the High T)

Visibility? What visibility?

Danger, Will Robinson!

Meanwhile, down in the valley, Milton and I walked Dimple Dell, did laundry (and even put it away), baked chocolate chip cookies (very successful) and fougasse (much less successful) and tried a new recipe for dinner (lentil bolognese - also very successful).  We were supposed to meet some friends for beers for my birthday but when that got postponed, we just hunkered down and enjoyed a quiet evening at home.

Fougasse (it didn't really rise)
