Well, I flew back to California last weekend for Brian's bachelor party.  We went to Pala casino near Temecula.  The trip was great!  I golfed 3 days out of the 4 days that I was there.  I love golf and I am excited about finding cool courses in Colorado.  I have picked up this nasty slice on drives.  It is awful, I hit the ball hard and far, but it is often ends up on the fairway to the right.  I need to fix it, bad.  I am going to hit the driving range, since it is on my way home from work.  Anyways, back to the California trip.  It was great being back for a couple days.  I enjoyed the wonderful traffic that hasn't dissappeared.  It was also blazing hot, like 101 on Friday.  I realize, I despise hot weather.  Nothing makes me more angry then 100 degrees.  You can't do squat outside, and I love being outside.  We golfed on Friday and I almost became a carcass on the fairway.  Thankfully, colorado summers rarely see 100.  I am glad to be back.  Brian is moving out here in June, and he wants to be my neighbor.  Not sure how I feel about that, but we'll find out soon enough :)

Well, I am rambling, so I will leave you with a photograph of a couple of pals. I have updated our photo gallery, so check them out by clicking photo gallery above.

Now that I am resident in a state where awesome skiing is very close, I decided to buy a season pass.  I bought the colorado pass which gives me unlimited access to Breckenridge, Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, and 10 days at Vail and Beaver Creek.  I figure I will be skiing and snowboarding a lot next season (especially since winter golf is out).  All of those resorts are less than 2 hours away, making day trips possible.  Plus, I will be able to go whenever, so if we have a huge snow-fall, I can head up the next day for tons of fresh powder.  Another cool factor of the season pass is, that I have the option of gettting up to four $50 tickets for friends.  Since lift tickets are $80 at breckenridge, keystone and arapahoe, and $90 at Vail and Beaver Creek, that is pretty good savings for incoming friends.  I also get 6 ski with a friend discount tickets, the discount varying depending on the season and busyness of the resort.  In a couple years, i will introduce Inara to skiing.  Kids under 5 are free.  That will be a fun day!

On another note, I tuned up my Mountain Bike this weekend and took it out.  I left my house on bike and found some good trails.  I am looking forward to heading up to the mountains to bike down the ski resorts.  We did that at mammoth for my bachelor party and it was a blast.
