Skiing, snowboarding, family fun, New Hampshire and Paul Newman

It's official... I'm a Blogger. As a matter of fact I'm pretty psyched about it. So what to blog about first?

How about the fact that I just selected a delecious beverage from the fridge of a fantastic local market based on the words "all natural" and "No High Fructose Corn Syurp" highlighted on the label. Curiously, I opened it and took a nice refreshing blackberry sip. "It's delicious" I declare. "What's in it"? So, I roll the bottle in my hands, the purple deliciousness calling for me to take another sip. "Hold on just one cotton picking minute, I gotta look at something". Focusing on the ingredients I read: Filtered Carbonated water (that's nice of them to filter the water), HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYURP, sugar... hold on, I bought this because there was no High Fructose Corn Syurp! That stuff ends up on my butt, and I don't need any more of that!!!!!!!!!!!!! What do I do now? There's a website on this thing but the last thing I want to do is be like the other percentage of the population that I personally can't stand. The ones who do nothing but crab and complain about "Poor Me". Ick. Time will tell where this saga has me going.

In other news last week was the Northeast Winter Sports Summit at Bretton Woods. It was 2 days full of interesting seminars and demonstrations related to winter sports like the one from the people at Winter Feels Good. The site is full of great information and is geared towards kids, parents, and educators. It's a great resource for allot of things like, events, programs, activities, information on starting up a new winter sport, etc.

Think about it... there's so much you can do here at KPSA; snowshoe, iceskate, cross country ski, alpine ski, and tele ski (there may be even NEW activities at the resort to participate in by the wintertime too!). Is there something new YOU want to explore, what is it? Leave comments and we'll chat about it. Last year I learned to snowboard. At 33 I felt sort of shy trying something new but after recovering from the bruises, strains, and pulls, I had so much fun that I can't wait to start snowboarding again! Yeah, this conference has me psyched up about winter already. Is it wrong to wish for snow on a 70 degree day?

Happy Hump day everyone, it's almost Friday!

Peace,

P.S. We also picked up some of our Twisted 10 series prizes while we were there. They're sweet!
