Staying home

I was going to go snowboarding again this weekend, but decided not to go. I figure to just relax this weekend for a bit, clean up my room. It’s bad. It looks like hurricane Andrew and an F5 tornado just went through it. What a mess. It’s a total disarray. If I have time maybe [...]

Came back last night

I just came back from three days of snowboarding at Heavenly and Kirkwood in South Lake Tahoe. I did one crazy run, a double black or diamond called the “Wall” at Kirkwood. Lol. I didnt know it was that steep until I saw it on the lift. Nowhere to go but down.

CVS

Social Security

Polls show Americans are split on Social Security reforms. Sounds very familiar. This is not much different from the 2004 elections. It looks like another partisan divide. I hope policy makers will do what’s best for America and its future setting aside partisan politics.
