Earlier this week, as my family and friends were taking "snow days" in Georgia, I was running home at Monday afternoon to catch the last rays of sunshine. It was 70 degrees, so I changed into shorts and my legs were almost the same light khaki color. I have to find more excuses to go outside during work.

The weekend prior, I was skiing in Truckee and the snow conditions were perfect! It may not snow again this season, so driving to the mountains was urgent. After three years of no skiing, I picked it up by the third run - I'm not as good as I was when I was eleven-years-old and skied every weekend. For those of you who do not know, I spent a decent portion of my life in north Lake Tahoe, so it was nice to see this type of winter (at least six feet of fresh powder), as opposed to Georgia winters (frost if it's cold enough). I'm lucky to have grown up in both places, but this area of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range is quite magical . . .
