End of the Year...

Wow, another year has gone by. And what a year it has been. Looking back, I've done quite a bit. I thought 2005 was busy, but 2006 was even busier.
Let's just highlight a few things...
1) My team at work has pretty much turned over. Only 4 of us have been with the team for more than a year...
2) My manager left. A boss I will always think fondly of.
3) I finally got my window seat. :o)
4) I went to Hawaii for 10 days and Burbank for 6 days to open new stores.
5) I worked 6 weeks straight without a day off...
6) I moved to Belltown.
7) I've made more this year than I ever have in my life. But have no idea where my money went.
8) I've met some of the most interesting people. Many of those I hope to remain close to, for I know they are people who will enrich my life.

I'm sure there's more, but too much to mention them all. Hopefully next year will be just as exciting. If not, I feel I might get bored...
What else is there in life if not adventure...

Season Pics


So I finally uploaded the pics I took from my first day up of this season. Not too bad for early in the season. I really need to get back up there soon.
I was definitely a beautiful day. A great start to a season.
Stay tuned for more pics from this season...

Photos


So this is one of my favorite pictures. It's taken from the top of Whistler. I climbed to the top of a snow hill and the clouds blocked enough sunlight to bring out the blueness of the snow. It was a beautiful day. You can't help but feel at peace when all you see around you is the tops of mountians. The closest city being 1 mile down and a small blimp in a landscape of nature.
Can't wait to go back up and take more pics. I should be back up at the end of Jan or later this month. Cross your fingers...
~Enjoy

Another Day...

Thurs Dec 7th, another Friday coming up. Only 2 weeks till Christmas and then 1 more week after that till the New Year. Where does all the time go?
I have to admit it's been a pretty crazy year. I done a lot. Went to Hawaii and California. Not to mention Whistler, Mission Ridge, and Crystal Mountian for Snowboarding. Worked 6 weeks straight without a day off. Try to balance 2 jobs with major changes in both. It's been a pretty crazy year.
But all of that is in the past and the snow is here. Time to start Snowboarding and getting back into shape. Went up for the first time last Sat. Beautiful day to go too. A little crowded, but it was nice for my first day up. Didn't want to push myself too hard. Hopefully I can get back into the habit of going up 2 nites a week, though it did take a nice chunk out of my pocket just for gas. Plus the mileage on my car is starting to get up there. 23k miles in 15 months. I think it's a little high. Probably doesn't help its been up to Whistler and back plus Mission Ridge and many trips to the Summit.
So a friend mentioned I should add pics to my blog. I agree, I need pics. I just need to figure out how to add them. It like I never have time for anything. I have list of things I need to research, learn, read up on, fix, do, etc. And there is never enough time in the day or week for all of it.
Guess I should get to bed. Can't be a good recruiter if I don't get my sleep...

Nite All...
