I had a fairly low key weekend.
Friday, went to the UW “Med School Prom” with Meagan. It was quite entertaining to see the future medical community in a slightly less than academic or professional setting. It’s funny how, as I grow up, professions for which I had a certain amount of reverence, such as education, [...]
A few follow-up items to the Panorama trip. Three cool videos, one gory roadkill addendum.
First, the videos. Trip organizer/cinematographer JF created three videos celebrating our trip. They are all great – the last one, if you had to choose only one, is probably the best.
Day One:
Day Two:
Day Three:
And now, the aftermath of the deer. As [...]
Gotta try this recipe, courtesy of Mark Bittman of the NYT.
Although I am a pretty diverse eater, I am a bit of a late Asian food convert, most at home with “white boy” food. However, dating a Thai food lover and working in the international district of Seattle has changed me. One of my favorite [...]
Or the largest piece of fish and chips known to man? The latter, actually, courtesy of Dick’s American Bandstand Bar & Grill in the Salt Lake City Airport.
And if you notice in the picture, I’m only holding up half of the prize – there’s two of them. It was pretty tasty, but as you can [...]
Today was the last day on the hill in Jackson. In the morning, we did some warmup runs on AV chair, but it was pretty crappy. Freezing level was relatively high, so the lower parts didn’t get much snow and were pretty hard and icy.
After lunch, I headed up by myself to the top, and [...]
This morning we went out on a wildlife tour in Teton National Park organized by our hotel, Spring Creek Ranch. Our naturalist guide, Curt, drove us around a few places in the park, and we saw lots of stuff. I highly recommend a wildlife tour if you’re in Jackson – this region is apparently one [...]
I’m not sure how many people try to rent a pig from the same establishment they get a root canal, but to head off possible confusion among its clientele, Elk Ridge Dental in Jackson (or perhaps their neighboring business Ward + Blake Architects) has made its policy in this regard quite explicit.
Apparently it’s a reference [...]
Skiing is hard.
Jackson got 2-14″ overnight last night, depending on the elevation and slope, which ordinarily would be fabulous news. There were two caveats:
it was pretty thick, wet snow
I was on skis.
I was skiing by myself most of the day, so I headed for lines that I would ordinarily be stoked to be on with [...]
The Jackson Hole adventures continues. Yesterday was St. Patty’s day, which is always a fun time in a ski town. We saw lots of fine costumes out on the slopes. Here are some of the highlights.
The after-ski scene was also a good time. We stopped by the Mangy Moose again, which had an older crowd, [...]
Meagan and I arrived in Jackson Hole, Wyoming yesterday morning. We rushed to the airport to catch the 7:20 am flight and I pretty much snoozed on both flights since I was up late the night before finishing up work and packing. We got to Jackson, picked up the rental minivan (prelude to the Lexus?).
Then [...]
