it really snowed last night! the commute made all the difference in the world, fresh quiet snow to roll through and the subtle whoosh of tires cutting untracked powder. i guess roughly 4-6 but regardless it made for a great trip into work. the snow had that dreamy champagne consistency, the one that utah sells as the reason to ski there instead of colorado, it is nice out there...if you're mormon. riding in with a smile, i thought about the decisions that got me to where i am. and decisions recently that have kept me here. i'm glad i didn't take the advertising sales job and the move away from the ski industry are two that shine in neon in my head as good moves. utopia is far from here but it is a good life, not many can ride to work all year long, if they want to. i have the luxury of less traffic when i go in and no traffic if i want a cooler/longer ride home. the place we put ourselves must be good or else we risk ennui. my place may not be the best for you but i know it is for me. little b slept almost all night, a bit of a wake up around 3 but nothing too long. then the 5 am wake up when i was getting dressed.
