One day...

One day I went snowboarding/skiing with a beautiful woman named Kristin.

We saw many sights that left us in awe... That is to say... They were awesome!

The next day I went to the river. I climbed some rocks and enjoyed the solar energy from the sun. My cold bones and mind were eased by the warmth of the sun. My toes remained a little cold.

.Warmth.

Winter has hit us full force her in Bend. Proof lies in the 1 1/2 feet of snow in our backyard, the four foot icicles hanging from our gutters, and ice that builds on my facial hair as I am sleeping. See for yourself.

Winter isn't completely cold and dreary. There are still amazing sunsets to ignite wonder.

Tea houses to fill the belly with warmth.

Friends and music to fill the heart with joy.

My body hurts from skiing. I just had a thought. "there are only two seasons. The skiing season and the kiteboarding season."
