daffodil days...

I'm also doing daffodil days... since you are all very far away I can't send you flowers but if you would like to donate or buy chaos flowers please let me know!

dog days of winter

we're in the dog days of winter and have been keeping busy with work and playtime. Dave's painting company has transformed to a roof shoveling company and with 306" of snow so far this winter it has been crazy. My work is also busy with sales and guest services (yup- still doing both!)
We've managed to make some time to play with the puppy monsters and I took Chaos and his friends for a short snowshoe on the trails again today. Chaos is currently sacked out on the floor after a long day of being mr. social monster.
we're finally getting some sunshine- that is the downside of 306" here in Telluride- a lot of cloudy days! We may not be able to boast 300 days of sunshine this season...
the local high school has a climbing gym and we've finally ventured down to it... they have a good size wall and it was fun to play again. It's been a while for both of us but we managed to make it up a few times. We also made it out to the local movie theater to see Juno which is hillarious- and bought the soundtrack that night.

Mohawks and monsters

if you ask pretty much any skier who used to hang posters in high school who was on their walls one famous mohawked skier usually is the answer. Glen Plake. He's been in many ski movies including the Blizzard of Aahhh's and has has a long carrer on RSN which airs at many ski resorts nationwide. Saturday they did some filming in Telluride for his Reel Thrills TV show.
There's a segment for "crash of the day" where folks gather in a ski shop/bar to vote on the crash of the day. We attended and Dave asked his high school hero for an autograph. Plake obliged but really lit up when he saw what dave wanted him to sign. A VHS of Blizzard of Aahhh's. After the fliming Plake sat down with a few folks and Dave even got to try on a prototype AT ski boot that's still in the design phase.

We're fighting the flu so I took the weekend off from skiing and took some monsters out to play. Chaos was very excited to run around with his friends and play in the woods.
