new years eve defies explanation to me, instead of a party i wish that i had the energy at night to skin up the hill with like-minded friends and watch fireworks rain down on town. but, i am too tired to do activities like that after dark. i hope that i can do something like that with b little in a few years. he crawled last night before the friends came over. we were hanging out in his room and he crawled about a foot! very cool stuff! after work i got out on the trails a bit, nothing huge just a fun ride around the ski touring areas we normally explore in winter on skis. but the snow was so firm that it was like a really smooth sidewalk the whole way out to little french gulch. travis was sporting the new kelly 29er disc check 'em out www.kellybike.com very cool rig. we had a great little ride but climbing for thirty minutes makes for a very chilly ride back to town. the toes were icy when i got home. today i'll hopefully hop on the rollers in a few minutes after a quick walk to make sure the world didn't end while i was sleeping off the new year. and then a late start to work and see all the happy tourists coming in starting their new years resolutions. i hope i don't get hit by a car.
