HIM Xmas

A great night partying with my HIM colleagues at the Montreux Casino.

Wo's Toe

Do you want to know what happens when you drop a 10-pound cutting board on your big toe?
For the answer take a look at the x-ray of Wonda's broken toe. She'll be laid up for 2 weeks, then a funny boot so she can hobble around.
I get to wait on her night and day...

First day of skiing

... giddy with excitement like a 10 year old on Christmas morning, I buckled up my boots, snapped them into the bindings and pushed off for my first ski run of the 2008-09 season. We've had a wonderful dump of snow already and the powder at the top of Leysin was knee deep. The warm sun and no wind made it feel more like March than December.
Burning legs and heaving lungs were my reward for pushing myself ... but it was sooo good. Look forward to many more days to come.
