We must be in Colorado.

If you were looking for the Question of the Day today, I apologize.  I haven’t had internet access for the past 24 hours.  We flew into Vail yesterday afternoon and had our first day on the slopes today.  I must say that with all the hype of “Colorado powder”, I was sorely disappointed.  There were some nice spots but overall the base was not great.  However, we still had a good time.  The runs are super long and the mountain is gigantic.  The temps were very managable and we even got about two seconds of flurries in the afternoon.

Question of the Day #6

Question of the Day #6:
If you could be teleported to anywhere in the world and spend only 12 hours there, where would you go?

My Answer:
I would visit the penguins in Antarctica. 12 hours is plenty of time in the freezing cold. I hear that if you stand still, the penguins will walk right up to you. I’d have to pack a bunch of spare batteries for my camera since the freezing temps would zap the power out of my camera in a flash.

Super Milestone

In 1969, my dad immigrated to the U.S. of A. and started his “American Dream”. Today, 37 years later, he retired. He made a living for himself and his family of 4 and now it’s time to par-tay! So, with the huge weight off his shoulders and a round-trip ticket to Thailand, he is ready to do just that. Tonight, we had a celebratory dinner at our usual Thai restaurant in Cypress and he leaves tomorrow for a month-long trip to Thailand. Woohoo! Congratulations, Daddy!!

Question of the Day #4

Question of the Day #4:
What’s your super power?

My Answer:
When I was a kid, it was breaking anything my brother made with his Legos with just a touch. I’m sure I still have this super power.  It’s just dormant at the moment.  Nowadays, I’d have to say it’s reading maps and knowing where I’m going.
