Six O’Clock Vintage

Seek those images that constitute the wild, the lion and the virgin, the harlot and the child. Find in middle air an eagle on the wing, recognize the five that make the Muses sing. | W.B Yeats, Those Images

Flat Tires

I keep getting flat tires during my rides. In less than a month I've gotten two flats in remote sections of each ride's respective trail.  The first flat was on Three Sisters trail in Evergreen.  I somehow managed to rip a huge gash in my tube and found myself pedaling on ...

Skiing 36 Hours Straight. Insanity at its Finest

Will you tune in? I'm going to be skiing for 36 Hours straight and live-blogging the whole damn thing. When? Starting Friday morning (Nov 30th) at 9am and me and an equally crazy group of 7 others will be risking our necks until Saturday night (Dec 1st) at 9pm, ...

14ers Page Launched!

Check out the new page to the site--Colorado's 14ers. On the new page I've given relevant details about each Mountain summitted along with a brief trip report. In addition, I've set up Flickr photo sets for each summit. Simply click on the relevant thumbnail to jump over to the ...

Up to the Mountains

I can smell dinner; it's almost ready--the garlic is pungent, and the spicy red pepper makes my nose tingle. This day marks 3 weeks of us living in Colorado, and the time that has passed is full. I know an update is long over due, but if you ...

On the Road

I don't have a giant roll of typing paper, and the only thing in my system is greasy Papa Johns and a bit of sugar from some mint ice cream. My last day at work was Friday, and boxes are stacked around me in an ever increasing height that ...

West

We're leaving on vacation tonight; I hardly feel ready, things at work are speeding up just as I'm ready to head out--I'll be glad to get away, but the last few hours before our departure aren't feeling pleasant.  We're going to Colorado.  I blogged about our plans a while ago: ...

Personal News

It's time for some big news from the Poindexters; our five year plan has come to fruition sooner than we expected, but we're NOT pregnant--it's something else that is big and life-changing. Britt and I have decided to move to Denver, Colorado in mid August, specifically the week of August 13th. ...

Out of Utah

Arrived in from Utah late last night; and what an adventure we had!  Skiing was incredible and all of us emerged unscathed (though I had an extremely close call that involved a high-speed crash and two broken skis).  The mountains and the snow were fantastic and overall the experience was ...

Powder

I will be that guy early Saturday morning.   Have I mentioned that I love snow?  Soon, I will be skiing with the Mormons and, unlike them, enjoying hot caffeinated coffee.  The only thing I'm worried about is missing 24 on Monday since we don't have Tivo.  The one thing that gives ...

“You’re a Phony, a Big Fat Phony! Hey Everybody, He’s a Phony!”

I know that China is the home of iPhone rip-offs and lead-filled Colgate, but it appears that their duplicity and fakery  don't end with electronics and domestic household products. China admitted faking the opening fireworks of the Olympic Opening Ceremony as well as faking the voice of the cute little singer ...

Mountain Lion Drags Dog out of Owner’s Bedroom

Crazy story, this is a small front range town just southwest of the Denver area.  I go mountain biking in this area all the time. A mountain lion slunk into the master bedroom of an Idledale home early Monday, snatched a yellow Labrador retriever and vanished. Officers are hunting the mountain lion ...

iPhone Apps

I spent the weekend at a cabin in the mountains and so didn't get a chance to download the the latest iPhone software update until late Sunday evening.  After a frustrating flurrey of "restore, verify, restore" proceedings I finally was forced to delete by back up and do a full ...

The Fattest States in America

Another reason to move to Colorado, the home of lean, well-muscled and tan super people :)
