It's Not Dogs Playing Poker, But I'll Take It


You know, my office here in Aspen may not be the fanciest of places, but it does have something my old office sorely lacked: a sporting goods department. Skis, bike, bouldering shoes, chalk bag; the corner of my tiny little office is representative of the myriad of recreational choices this town has to offer. And while this corner may not be exciting as the other corner of my office -- where the Internal Revenue Code and related Regulations are stored, it is a necessary part of life nonetheless.

The snow continues to fall, so it looks like I'll get to put those skis to use this weekend. The mountain doesn't open until Thanksgiving, but pretty much all of town is skiable at this point, what with almost two feet of accumulation in the higher elevations.

Lauren, if she ever thaws out after working parking duty at the high school football game tonight, will be joining me on her snowshoes. We'll try and take lots of pictures.
