He’s gone. He just… got away from us. ~ Dr. Wordsmith

Man, stressful just doesn’t do justice to these last few days. Can’t really go into it right now but damn. Here is a brief list events (some of these were not my doing):

• The Winter Solstice: I really like the solstice as it marks the time when days start to get longer. Plus, as celestial events go, shortest/longest days of the year are unique, at least.
• Sweeny Todd: One of several movies on my list. This was a great adaptation, even if you don’t like musicals.
• Blustery day at The Rock: Pete, Luke and I went up for some Eldora turns. Corona was spinning, the wind was howling, the thermometer was dropping… We only lasted a couple of hours as it was bitterly cold and I had to get over to Gunnison but two hours of frigid skiing is better than two hours of not skiing.
• Drive to Gunnison: Headed over to Gunnison to visit my parents. I will be over here probably until Tuesday or Wednesday. Playing that by ear a little bit.

The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry. ~ Robert Burns

Today, Luke, Pete and I were planning to spend some time helping out our buddy, Larry at his shop. Larry is one of the best boot-fitters in the area, if not the country and his talents are in high demand. So high, in fact, that during ski season, he often works 18 hour days, 7 days a week.

Pete, Luke and I think this is bunk so we volunteered to help him get some things straightened out around the shop on the one day a week when it is actually closed. Either we got our wires crossed or something came up but we missed each other today. So I went to the Goat to get some work done. And here I am updating my blog.

So there you go. Back to work, then haircut, then home.

Stu here. Thanks to everyone for keeping track of events as they
unfolded yesterday. After about 73 miles, I had to hang it up. Things
just started falling apart after about mile 63. I pushed for as long
as I was able then had to call it quits about 2:30 in the morning.
Again, thanks to the crew and everyone else for helping me push myself
to levels I had never before reached. Detailed report to come.

I think we all owe a big thanks to Megan for keeping the crew on their
toes.

Waiting for stubert at mile 73. There is no moon and the skies are
clear… The milkey way is wicked tasty.

Looks like dan b's runner is hurting. He went out to the twin lakes
parking lot as a volunteer pacer. Hope to pick him up at fish hatchery.
