The Funk

Here we are...in the full swing of the holidays and It appears I have been neglecting my blog. Well maybe not fully neglecting it, I do look at it sideways from the corner of the room every now and again and think of witty quips to make, but they never seem to appear.

The holidays are a strange time for me. Sometimes I embrace them with gusto and other times I get the uncontrollable urge to run away to a far away land, usually the desserts of Nevada or the desire to go to the other end of the earth. The sirens of Bali, Indonesia have been calling loudly lately.

Forgive me if I seem out of sorts, this usually happens this time of year, holiday stress mixed with poor early season ski conditions that prevent me from my therapy, falling down a mountain with a board of some sort strapped to my feet.

I have been finding some sort of solace in getting my required amount of self induced pain while trotting up my favorite ass kicking hike locally, the pikes peak incline. Although even that torments me, I can not seem to break my record time. No matter how hard I push. Also, I use the term “trotting” very liberally.

My head will get right again, I promise. In the meantime, pray to the snow gods for big snowfalls and accumulations.

Thanks for reading…Peace!
