1. Adventures in Peninsula State Park
This is a favorite spot for biking and hiking in Door County as there are a many trail options that
lead far into the park hitting different points on the lake! But if you aren’t a big biker or hiker,
driving in for the views along the cliffs in the park is equally satisfying. Entering near the golf
course leads you to views of Eagle Harbor that are stunning in any season! Northern Sky
Theatre which offers fun musical revues during the summer is located in the park. Winter brings
more quiet sports with cross country skiing, snowshoeing and the infamous Hill #17 for sledding.
2. Dinner at Fred and Fuzzy’s Waterfront Bar and Grill
Going for dinner at Fred and Fuzzy’s is so relaxing that you forget you left home! This is a
favorite for a casual dinner in the summer. The whole “restaurant” is outside, on a quiet bay on
the lake. It’s the perfect place to kick back and enjoy a sandwich and a beer while watching the
sun go down. A little like being in Key West with fun music and incredible sunsets!
3. A Sweet Treat at Malibu Moos Frozen Griddle or Not Licked Yet
We used to love Malibu Moos when it was in a tiny cabin in an orchard – but its newer location is
just as great! This is a fun ice cream spot if you’re looking for something with variety. There is a
plethora of shaved ice flavors, and the ice cream options are made with toppings mixed on the
frozen griddle. Since it is next to the harbor in Fish Creek, you can grab your ice cream to-go
and window shop downtown, or wander around the park and harbor. Not Licked Yet is famous
for frozen custard, fun sundaes, location by the creek, and overall deliciousness!
See their website for more details https://malibumoosfrozengriddle.wordpress.com/
4. Adventure at Cave Point County Park
Cave Point is a unique “pick your own experience” kind of place. The main trail here runs along
the lake and your hike can extend into Whitefish Dunes State Park, but most visitors don’t need
to go that far once they start exploring the shore! The clear water against the white rocks and
sand provide scenes that rival the Caribbean, and plenty of rocks and caves to climb around
and through. And you can do a fabulous Kayak Tour with Door County Adventure Center or
Door County Kayak tours. Don’t forget your camera!
5. PC Junction for the kid in all of us
A restaurant that is fun for the family in any weather! When you sit at the counter, a train comes
around to deliver your food! PC Junction at Peninsula Center seems to always be adding on to
their outdoor attractions – everything from pedal carts to lifesize chess boards!
6. Explore the Art Scene
Hands on art, artist galleries and receptions, music, theatre and even karaoke are experiences
not to be missed. A few of our favorite for art are Hands On Art Studio where you can create
your own masterpieces (a few of our masterpieces are in Trillium Gap Cottage) – great any
time of year and especially on those rainy days; Edgewood Orchard Gallery for tremendous art
and receptions with the artists; Off the Wheel Pottery featuring the talented Renee Schwaller;
Angela Lensch Gallery, Woodwalk Gallery and Blue Dolphin House. You’ll find wonderful art
galleries throughout the county.
Music and theatre are mainstays as well including Northern Sky and Peninsula Players
Theatres to enjoy under the stars in the summer. Birch Creek, and Door County Auditorium as
well as concerts in the parks in each city for wonderful music.
7. Fish Boils
Fish boils are a special tradition in Door County. Our favorites are Pelletier’s and White Gull Inn
in Fish Creek. A fresh caught Door County Whitefish dinner with Door County cherry pie is a
true Door County meal. You can experience the county, it’s history and interact with the local
“boil master” as you watch a fish boil. We recommend reservations as the fish boils are
extremely popular and are scheduled according to seatings.
8. Water sports and beach time!
With water on three sides and inland lakes, and creeks we have endless opportunities for water
fun! Launch your boat and fish, water ski or tour the islands. Rent a pontoon at the Ephraim
Harbor and head to Peninsula State Park Beach. Take a sailboat ride with Sail Door County or
an excursion with Shoreline Scenic Cruises.
Egg Harbor Beach, walking distance from the cottage is a swimming beach with kayak and
paddle board rentals, a changing house, playground, grilling/picnic area and wonderful sunsets.
9. Gourmet Delights and experiences
Eating and drinking in Door County is an adventure in itself. Fine dining and casual fare
Try cherry picking in mid summer and apple picking in fall at Lautenbach Orchards.
Simon Creek Winery has entertainment on Sunday afternoons. Stone’s Throw Winery has
wonderful events and international tours.
Markets around the county such as Wood Orchard and Koepsel’s provide yummy preserves to
Farm (or Lake) to table is prevalent. Grasse’s Grille in Sister Bay, Wickman House in Ellison
Bay, The Cookery in Egg Harbor and so many more create gourmet experiences for you from
As you wind your way through the peninsula you’ll see shopping to delight everyone in your
group. Ask Susie for recommendations!

Players have enjoyed some of the most popular puzzle video games worldwide in recent decades. Game creators from different continents and nations used modern technology to create simple yet thoroughly engaging video games.
Some of these popular puzzle video games have stood the test of time and remain popular today. Also, many have influenced modern online casino gambling and slot games.
Here we look at the most popular puzzle video games ever.
One of the most played puzzle video games ever is Tetris. Players rotate different-sized blocks and fit them into an existing structure. Then, once a block fits, the structure decreases, and players earn points. But if the structure reaches the top of the playing screen, you lose the game.
The simplistic puzzle game was addictive to players when it was first released by Russian software engineer Alexey Pajitnov in 1985. In fact, the game got so popular that technology giants Microsoft and Nintendo eventually bought the rights to Tetris in the following years.
Very few puzzle games are as well-known as Tetris. The game is still played by millions today on smartphones and other devices.
The number placing game of Sudoku has roots in 19th century France. Originally, a form of Sudoku, which requires players to place the numbers 1-9 in rows, lines, and determined boxes, was published in French newspapers and magazines. However, the modern game was developed by American architect Howard Garns, who created a 9×9 grid and formalized the game’s rules.
Initially, Sudoku was called Number Place before it grew in popularity in Japan during the 1980s. It was renamed Sudoku and has since moved on from a pen-and-paper game to a digital puzzle. Players worldwide can now access different forms of Sudoku online and on smartphones.
In the 1990s, Microsoft emerged as one of the biggest global tech companies. The tech giant released several versions of its computer operating systems and PCs. But the brand had also expanded into gaming services to offer a complete package of computing experiences.
Within the Windows 3.1 system was the puzzle game Minesweeper. This click-and-reveal puzzle game required players to uncover safe zones on a grid by using logic and number sequencing. However, some squares had mines hidden underneath, and the game would end once a player uncovered a mine.
Minesweeper ultimately showed a shift from previous puzzle games, largely due to the inclusion of a computer mouse. Whereas previous puzzle games may have required a specific controller.
Recently, online casinos have introduced puzzle video games on their sites. Some popular options include poker, blackjack, and roulette, while Keno is often played.
Keno is a draw-and-win style game with a dealer calling numbers and players matching these on their scorecard. On this page about keno odds, you can find out how different game probabilities work.
Modern online casinos often have video keno in their selection of games, and there are many variations available for this popular puzzle casino game.

The Wolf Pack basketball team enters the season with very few questions, and that's a good thing.
But it does have at least one looming uncertainty fans have been asking about almost daily as the season opener approaches: Will Lindsey Drew redshirt this season?
Drew is one of the nation's better point guards and a three-year starter for the Wolf Pack. But he's also coming off a torn Achilles' tendon and is eligible to sit out the 2018-19 season without losing a year of eligibility as he has a redshirt season available.
Drew didn't take part in the Wolf Pack's pro day last week (he did dribbling drills and that's it), but he is making progress in his rehabilitation from what is likely the worst injury a basketball player can suffer.
The Nevada basketball Twitter account posted video Monday of Drew taking jump shots (before taking it down), so he's making progress. But Drew's still not ready to join practice fully. A decision on whether he will play this season won't come until closer to the season opener.
“I think that Lindsey is taking bigger strides in the last two weeks," Wolf Pack coach Eric Musselman said on pro day. "It was moving pretty slow. I did talk to the Warriors just now about DeMarcus Cousins’ timeline and I told them what I’m reading and what I’m reading isn’t really how it is. I got where he is and his (Achilles tear) happened about a month before Lindsey’s. I think Lindsey is in a spot where maybe he can play, maybe not. Same thing I’ve been saying. Until it gets to November, there’s no reason to tell him anything other than, 'Just keep rehabbing hard.’"
Musselman has said since the injury Drew and his family have the final say on whether he plays this season. You could argue either way as the correct path.
Case for a redshirt: Sitting out this season would allow Drew time to get fully healthy. ... Cody Martin is going to be Nevada's starting point guard and minutes could be limited for Drew anyway. ... Drew would have the opportunity to be a showcase player in 2019-20 when the Martin twins, Jordan Caroline and the Treys (Porter and Thurman) are departed. That could boost his pro stock ... Drew could use his redshirt season to build his skill set and strength. ... Drew sitting out this year would strengthen the 2019-20 team without hurting the 2018-19 team very much given its depth.
Case for playing this year: Nevada has Final Four aspirations in 2018-19; Drew wouldn't want to miss being an active member of that. ... Drew's unselfish style of play would be perfect on this team, which is loaded with scoring talent. ... Drew's on-ball defense would be a big plus for this offensive-oriented team. ... Drew might not want to sit out a season (redshirt years aren't very fun). ... Like we said, Nevada could go to the Final Four this year. Who would want to miss that?
Musselman doesn't see a bad outcome no matter what Drew chooses.
"It’s a win-win," Musselman said. "If he comes back, it’s awesome because he’s one of the best point guards in the country. If he doesn’t come back, we need some really good players next year who can play 35-40 minutes next year and he can do that. I look at it and whatever he and his family decide is good for us.”
Drew averaged 8.1 points, 4.3 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game last season while shooting 48.4 percent from the field, including 39 percent from three. He was playing the best basketball of his career prior to the injury, which occurred Feb. 13 at Boise State as he attempted a three-quarter-court shot to beat the halftime buzzer (see below). Achilles tears usually take nine to 12 months to recover from.

US President Donald Trump suggested shooting migrants in the legs to slow them down, according to a new book.
Axar.az reports citing BBC that the book, by two New York Times journalists, says Mr. Trump suggested extreme methods of deterring migrants from crossing the southern border.
They included building an electrified, spiked border wall and a snake or alligator-infested moat.
Building a wall on the border with Mexico is one of Mr. Trump's main policy objectives.
The construction of the wall has now begun, with the Pentagon allocating $3.6bn (£2.9bn) of military funding towards its development.
The White House has not commented on the latest reports.
According to an excerpt, the president privately suggested to aides that soldiers shoot migrants in the legs, but he was told it would be illegal.
Previously, Mr. Trump had made a public statement suggesting soldiers shoot migrants who throw rocks.

BEDFORD, Mass., Feb. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hologic, Inc. (Hologic or the Company) (NASDAQ: HOLX), a leading developer, manufacturer and supplier of premium diagnostics products, medical imaging systems and surgical products dedicated to serving the healthcare needs of women, announced today that it has partnered with Armor Mobile Systems, a leading provider of healthcare specialty vehicles, to take Hologic's 3D mammography (breast tomosynthesis), on a yearlong U.S. tour in a new mobile mammography coach.
To view the multimedia content, please click: http://www.multivu.com/players/English/60535-hologic-3d-mammography-mobile-tomo-tour/
Calling the tour, "A More Accurate Mammogram: The 3D Tour," the mobile coach will cross the country over the next 12 months spreading the word about the benefits of 3D mammography. Unlike conventional 2D mammography, where the presence of overlapping breast tissue can make it more difficult to detect cancer, Hologic's 3D mammography procedure is designed to allow doctors to see the breast more clearly, particularly for women with dense breasts. Clinical evidence shows that a combination of conventional 2D with 3D mammography in the same breast cancer screening exam significantly increases invasive cancer detection while greatly reducing unnecessary call backs. [i]
"We are thrilled to take our 3D mammography system on the road," said Rob Cascella, Hologic's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Hologic's 3D technology is designed to provide a more detailed, accurate picture of the breast than conventional mammography. 2D plus 3D combined in the same exam has been shown to improve early detection while reducing false positives and unnecessary call backs by as much as 40 percent.[ii] We know the chance for successful treatment is greatest when cancer is detected early, and we are committed to making our 3D mammography available to women everywhere."
"As an industry leader in custom specialty vehicles, we designed and built this mobile mammography coach to show America what the future of mammography looks like and the importance of accessibility," said Dave Moushey, President of Armor Mobile Systems. "We are proud to partner with Hologic on this important initiative to generate attention for the importance of 3D mammography across the country."
As the 3D mammography coach travels the country, experts will be on-hand to answer questions about this breakthrough breast cancer screening technology, as well as the benefits of mobile mammography. At most stops, the general public will have an opportunity to tour the coach and learn firsthand about how Hologic's 3D mammography is significantly increasing cancer detection.
Hologic's 3D Mammography System
Named by the Cleveland Clinic as one of the top 10 medical innovations for 2013, 3D mammography was approved for clinical use for breast cancer screening and diagnosis in the U.S. in February, 2011 and has been available in countries recognizing the CE mark since 2008. Hologic's 3D mammography technology is in use in 48 states and over 50 countries.
Unlike a screening 2D mammogram which involves a single X-ray image of the breast, 3D mammography captures multiple, low-dose images from multiple angles around the breast. The images are then used to produce a 3D digital reconstruction of the breast.
More information on 3D mammography as well as a 3D mammography site finder can be found at www.Hologic3D.com.
About Hologic, Inc.:
Hologic, Inc. is a leading developer, manufacturer and supplier of premium diagnostic products, medical imaging systems, and surgical products. The Company operates four core business units focused on diagnostics, breast health, GYN surgical and skeletal health.

CANAL 9: No going back, Fabra warns.
REGIONAL broadcaster RTVV will be wound up by the end of this month.
“There is no going back,” said the president of the Valencian Community, Alberto Fabra. “Maintaining Radio Television Valenciana in the conditions imposed by the courts would affect everybody’s wellbeing.”
Fabra was referring to the reversal of RTVV redundancies aimed at reducing the 1,620 staff by around 1,000. The broadcaster’s workforce was larger than the total number of Antena 3, Tele 5 and La Sexta employees.
Some RTVV workers accepted the redundancy offer but decided to start legal action. The Valencian Upper Court of Justice TSJCV ruled in their favour and ordered their readmission to RTVV.
Initial jubilation soon gave way to stupor, however.
RTVV, with debts of more than €1billion, could not afford to reinstate all the workers, the president announced. Instead it would have to close.
He was not going to consider the potential electoral cost, Fabra said, because this was a moment “for being responsible.” It was not a question of making a better or worse showing in the polls, he insisted.

Keith Law, former Blue Jays special assistant to GM J.P. Ricciardi, but a writer for ESPN since June, published what appearded to be priveliged details of a relationship known from his previously being a high ranking official with the team.
“Vernon Wells has told Blue Jays’ management that he has no intention of signing a contract extension to stay in Toronto. He and his family would like to move closer to his home in Texas, and he has become increasingly disenchanted in Toronto as he has faced public criticism from general manager J.P. Ricciardi.”
While rumors that Wells wanted to play closer to home are not new, this is the first report that says Wells has told the club he is not coming back. Both Wells and Ricciardi denied that conversation ever took place.
From Wells, “The conversation never happened. It’s a complete fabrication.”
From Ricciardi, “He’s become a writer. It doesn’t take long. Keith Law is officially an idiot.”
This was a surprisingly fast breakdown considering Law was one of Ricciadi’s first hires as general manager. He worked closely with Ricciardi for four and a half years only to quit. To betray the confidence of your former boss and job three months after leaving seems harsh. After hearing Ricciardi’s quit rebuttal one has to wonder if Law left on good terms.
Aside from the negative publicity Ricciardi, Wells, and the entire organization have had to deal with, divulging that information compromises the Blue Jays ability to get full value in a trade involving Wells. If other clubs know Wells is unhappy other teams will treat it more like a player dump (see Shea Hillenbrand).
This sounds like revenge to me. Who knows what happened? It could have been a professional disagreement or a personal matter, anything. But I know this; Keith Law is too smart to not know the effect his comments would have on the situation.
Either Keith Law has compromised his integrity for a story, or he wanted revenge. I hope he just wanted revenge.

In late-night message, Nana Patekar's son scraps press meet to counter Tanushree Dutta's allegations
The actor's son Malhar said that he will inform about the further proceedings soon.
"Sorry to be messaging at this hour, just wanted to inform that there's no press conference tomorrow, please pass on the message to your colleagues in the media. Will let you know about the further proceedings soon, regards," the message read.
There was no response from his lawyer when contacted.
The 67-year-old actor's lawyer has sent a legal notice to Dutta for allegedly making false accusations against him in an incident that dates back to a decade.
From Harvey Weinstein To Bill Cosby's Trials & Convictions: #TimesUp Sends Clear Message
Hollywood's Walk Of Shame
Dutta has said that Patekar had harassed her during the shooting of a film in 2008 and she had spoken out about the incident but nothing happened and she was even thrown out of the film.
Dutta has also filed a complaint with the Mumbai police against Patekar, choreographer Ganesh Acharya and the director and producer of the 2008 film.
Patekar, who was shooting for upcoming film Housefull 4 in Jodhpur with actors Akshay Kumar, Kriti Sanon and others, returned to Mumbai on Saturday.
"I said this 10 years ago... a lie is a lie (Dus saal pehle bol chuka hoon, ab jo jhoot hai woh jhoot hai')," Patekar had said.

Granton is worked in pieces from the bottom up, with tidy cabled decreases along the back shoulders. The bound off edge of the front wraps over the top of the shoulder to meet up with the back, for a tailored fit that looks great.
Ready to seam the shoulders and pick up for the sleeves? Here's our photo tutorial for joining the shoulders on Wardie - Granton is worked in exactly the same manner, just a bit thicker!
After seaming the shoulders, the sleeve stitches are picked up across the front and back armhole and worked flat. Since the shoulder seam sits towards the back, the center of the sleeve isn't right over the seam. Short rows are used to shape the shallow sleeve cap - here's our tutorial on working wrapless short rows.

Do you struggle with tight bind offs? Whether you’re knitting a toe-up sock, a top-down sweater, or a lacy shawl, a bind off that’s too tight can really get in the way of enjoying your finished project! Here are 3 easy methods to work a stretchy bind-off without sewing.


First jump of microgel;actuation speed enhancement by elastic instability
Swelling-induced snap-buckling in a 3D micro hydrogel device,inspired by the insect-trapping action of Venus flytrap, makes it possible to generate astonishingly fast actuation. We demonstrate that elastic energy is effectively stored and quickly released from the device by incorporating elastic instability. Utilizing its rapid actuation speed, the device can even jump by itself upon wetting.
Figure： Microgel jumps upon wetting (see ESI,† Movie 3). Numbers indicate the sequence of the motion. The device is placed on a glass substrate
(1). When a solvent droplet is applied to the left leg
(2). the solvent not only surrounds the leg, it also fills all the microfluidic network in the device by capillary action. Even after solvent surrounding the legs evaporates, embedded microfluidic channels are still filled with solvent, resulting in bending of legs outwards
(3–5). With two legs bent outwards, the device is ready to jump
(6). As the solvent in the channels further evaporates, snap-buckling takes place as the legs snap back to the original shape in de-swelling process. This rapid motion produces enough thrust for jumping. The device jumps out of the view field
(7). and is found outside the initial view field

Cooper Square Press, May 2002. Hardcover. Used - Very Good / Very Good. Item #243532
The tale of the famous Greenwich Village coffeehouse turned nightclub, The Bitter End is also the story of the club's manager and owner, Paul Colby. From the early 60s to the 90s, the Bitter End hosted a wide range of influential music and comedy acts that reflected the changing creative atmosphere of the Village, and the country beyond. Pete Seeger made frequent appearances and Peter, Paul, and Mary debuted at the club during the height of the folk music boom, around the same time that Woody Allen and Bill Cosby were headlining with their very different-but equally popular-stand-up acts. After the British Invasion made rock the pre-eminent music in the land, Colby booked electrified folk and rock performers such as Neil Young, Carly Simon, Kris Kristofferson, and many others. Throughout the years, Colby kept up such strong friendships with the artists that they often returned as patrons when they weren't performing-the most famous local regular being Bob Dylan. The stories Colby shares of his amazing years running the Bitter End provide an insider's personal perspective on several decades of American entertainment. Told with fondness and flair, The Bitter End acquaints the world with a man beloved by performers for years.
Colby, the owner of the Greenwich Village music and comedy venue for over a quarter of a century, shares his memories of Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, Woody Allen, George Carlin, Sarah McLachlan and many others who have performed at the club.

Bill Clinton to host New York round-table forum on Irish economy this week
Will be joined by Irish leader Enda Kenny and leading business figures
Former president Bill Clinton will host an extraordinary round-table meeting of leading American business leaders in New York on Thursday of this week as part of his Global Economic Forum.
Clinton will be joined at the all-morning session by Irish leader Enda Kenny, Foreign Minister Eamon Gilmore and Jobs Minister Richard Bruton.
Up to 20 leading American business leaders are expected to attend, many of whom have not been involved to this point in Irish investment.
The meeting will be chaired by Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley considered a likely contender for the White House in 2016.
Afterwards, at New York University, Clinton and Kenny will meet with 100 leaders in the Irish American community to lay out the proposals and commitments they have received.
More stories on the Irish economy from IrishCentral
The Clinton move came after he attended the Irish economic forum in Dublin in September and pledged to help Ireland overcome its major recession.
Enda Kenny will address the Forum on the progress Ireland is making in dealing with the economic challenges facing the country. Eamon Gilmore will also speak about the progress made since the Global Irish Economic Forum in Dublin last October.
Kenny will be visiting New York twice in the coming weeks for the economic summit and also for a fundraiser for Dublin’s leading children’s hospital hosted by former athlete Eamon Coghlan and golfer Graeme McDowell.
Coghlan just announced he is joining the Fine Gael party. He was nominated for a senate seat by Kenny as an independent.

For any of us who read the daily newspaper, watch television, get news feeds online, receive ever-delightful spam emails, or spend any time on social media outlets, we are constantly getting hit by advertisers looking for us to invest with them. Wall Street brokerage houses spend billions of dollars annually on advertising looking for us to invest in their stock and bond funds. Life insurance companies do likewise looking to attract us to their plethora of investment vehicles. Then there’s time shares, bank CD’s, fractional jet ownerships, precious metals, commodities, and the list of potential investments goes on. And then there are investments in real estate of which many of you know really well. For those of you who haven’t seriously considered investments in real estate as an intentional part of your investment portfolio, this next three-part series will focus on just that. So let’s talk real estate!
Owning Rental Property Just Makes Sense!
For the sake of simplicity, we will compare investments in stock with those in real estate. And to continue in that vein of simplicity, let’s assume someone has $50,000 to invest. If an investor chooses to invest that $50,000 in stocks, the investor has an asset worth just that . . . $50,000. With regards to a real estate investment property, most lenders require a 20% down payment and based on that, an investor can purchase a $250,000 property, put $50,000 down, and get a bank loan for the remaining $200,000 at historically low interest rates. At the end of the day, an investor can own either a $50,000 stock asset or a $250,000 property asset. Why the difference? OPM . . . “other people’s money” also knows as the bank. You see, banks will gladly loan up to 80% of the value of real property but good luck getting any type of loan to finance other types of investment purchases including stocks. So let’s talk appreciation. In the scenario above, if a stock portfolio increases 10%, that leaves the valuation of the investment at $55,000 or an appreciable increase of $5,000. On the flip side, if the real estate investment property appreciates 10%, which much of Colorado’s housing market did in 2013 and is projected to do similarly in 2014, that asset is now worth $275,000. That’s an appreciable increase of $25,000. Let’s not kid ourselves . . . there’s a substantial appreciable difference between the two investments and yet both started with the same $50,000 investment while seeing the same 10% appreciation. That’s the beauty of OPM, also known as leverage, and in next month’s newsletter, we will explore that in more detail, discuss avenues of finding good investment properties, and more. Stay tuned!

Society for Judgment and Decision Making: The 2019 40th Annual Conference
Montréal, Québec, Canada
2019-11-15 to 2019-11-18
How do people make decisions? Prior research focuses on how people's cost-benefit assessments affect which medical treatments they choose. We propose that people also worry about what these health decisions signal about who they are. Across four studies, we find that medication is thought to be the "easy way out", signaling a lack of willpower and character. These moral beliefs lower the appeal of medications. Manipulating these beliefs--by framing medication as a signal of superior willpower or by highlighting the idea that treatment choice is just a preference--increases preferences for medication.

How to Cater a Wedding Open House
Plan A: Call a caterer.
Plan B: Call a food blogger. Cross your fingers.
I am not a caterer, but because I have this overwhelming urge to feed people, I couldn’t pass up the chance to feed 80. It was for the daughter of a friend I attend church with, so I was happy to do the job.
Even though I hadn’t done any catering before. And I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Me = a little insane.
The event was held the day after the wedding at the home of another friend. I love the colors they used — purples, greens, and peacock feathers. See that “storybook” above? That was actually a real book in a past life and is forever preserved in mod podge and spray paint. I kept staring at it in wonder. I can be creative with food, but when it comes to that kind of stuff my brain just turns off and I start thinking about what to make for dinner.
I had a lot of questions (both off and online) about the food that was served. Here’s a breakdown for you! I added links (when applicable) and comments to clarify. And I apologize for my yellow-ish photos. I literally had 2 minutes to shoot pictures of everything before people started coming through the door.
Caramelized Onion, Goat Cheese, & Crispy Prosciutto Crostini
: Adapted from this recipe
. (Omitting the garlic steps and adding oven-baked shards of prosciutto on top.)
Pesto Chicken Crostini with Shaved Romano: Chicken breasts cooked in the slow cooker, shredded, then returned to slow cooker with a bunch of basil pesto. Topped with fresh Romano cheese shavings.
Caprese Salad Crostini: Chunks of mozzarella and tomatoes mixed with basil chiffonade, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.
Lots of fresh fruit and vegetables with these dips…
Strawberry Cream Trifle Shots
: Adapted from this recipe.
This is one of my most beloved desserts and up until now it hasn’t had a photo. I need to update the post to do it justice. It’s a spectacular dessert!
Nutella Brownie Trifle Shots: I layered brownies, a drizzle of warmed Nutella, Nutella custard (the custard from the recipe above, adding 1/2 cup of Nutella at the end), whipped cream, and a brownie bit. This one deserves a post of its own. I can’t even describe how good this was! Complete and utter bliss.
The dessert cups were the favorite that night. My little party girls agreed. Yes, party. That’s why my 4-year-old is dressed like Belle.
Overall I think it was a success. I’m glad there are people out there who are crafty in nature. The open house was gorgeous and my food was arranged so beautifully with the decorations! I definitely learned a lot along the way and would do things a little differently if I had the chance to do it again. It was a lot of hard work, but I had so much fun doing it!

The great onion crisis that may end in tears for India's leaders
Farmers demand price rise as rains hit crop while government tries to halt food inflation
Onions in India are once more at the epicentre of a major controversy, pitting government officials who want lower prices against farmers who need extra income.
Prices of the vegetable - ubiquitous in Indian cooking - surged more than 200pc in September from previous months after flooding from heavy monsoon rains damaged crops and reduced supplies.
Please log in or register with Farming Independent for free access to this article.
That has prompted the government to ban exports and crack down on hoarding to lower prices, angering farmers, who took to the streets in protest.
The onion, whose soaring prices have been blamed for bringing down past governments, puts Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a tight spot.
During his re-election campaign this year, the premier promised to raise incomes for farmers, a key voting constituency that makes up more than half of the electorate.
Yet Modi also needs to ensure inflation remains stable, and food prices are already spiking higher.
"The government could be caught in a dilemma, as while it seeks to keep food inflation contained, it also has a promise to raise farm incomes," said Jason Yek, risk analyst at Fitch Solutions.
"Any measure to artificially depress the price of onions could spur a backlash from the onion farmers."
This isn't the first time onions have taken centre stage in Indian politics. In 2013, onions were blamed for soaring inflation.
Last year, Modi said farmers are his 'top' priority, with 'TOP' meaning "Tomato, Onion and Potato".
Onion prices in India climbed to as high as 80 rupees ($1.13) a kilogram in September, compared with 20-25 rupees in July/August.
The gains are due to flooding, as well as because farmers reduced onion crops after prices fell to as little as 2 rupees per kilogram in Maharashtra in December, said Siraj Hussain, former farm secretary and a senior academic.
The government last month released onions from state stockpiles to Safal, the country's largest organised retail network of fruit and vegetables, which will also cap prices.
Authorities will monitor prices, and consider strict action against hoarding and profiteering activities. Exports of all varieties of onions are now prohibited.
The efforts have started working and wholesale prices in some markets are starting to decline, with the arrival of new crop produce from the southern region also helping to ease tight supplies, according to a government official.
Devinder Sharma, a food and trade policy analyst in Punjab with 30 years of experience in food policies, says the government is panicking over surging onion prices.
Farmers in some regions are getting paid 75pc less for their onions after the export ban was introduced, he said.
"It is the farmers who suffer in the process," Sharma said. "Farmers are being penalised to keep consumers happy.
"Inflation has to be kept low, but what happens to the millions of people that produce that food?"

Avoiding the potential dangers of prescription drugs
Drug addiction is a serious problem in our society. Has your life been negatively affected by it in some way? Perhaps you or someone you love has battled (or is battling) addiction. Several years ago, it was estimated that doctors in New York and throughout the United States, wrote more than 29 million prescriptions that contained Ritalin and other potentially addictive drugs.
Drug use in America often leads to other problems. Whether family-related, work-related or trouble with the law, it’s not often that one becomes involved in illicit drug activity without suffering some sort of negative repercussion. One of the easiest means for avoiding such problems is obviously to abstain from all illegal drug use. However, what about prescription medication for which you might have a valid need to take?
Top dangerous prescription drugs
Arming oneself with information regarding possible side effects and other issues commonly associated with certain types of drugs may help prevent overdose, but may also reduce the number of incidents involving criminal charges related to drug use. The following is a non-extensive list of drugs thought to have the highest potential for addiction and other problems:
· Stimulants: These are drugs that enhance brain alertness, energy and focus, and they are widely prescribed to help those diagnosed with conditions such as ADD and ADHD.
· Opioids: If you’ve ever suffered acute muscle injury in your lower back or other chronic pain conditions, you might have taken this type of drug, which often produce euphoric effects and have the ability to relieve pain.
· Depressants: Used as tranquillizers and to induce feelings of calmness, depressants can reduce anxiety and increase one’s ability to relax.
Sometimes, trouble arises even if for a person without a prescription. For instance, imagine you are having ongoing back pain and a friend of yours offers you a tablet, saying it is a medication that will help you feel better. If you don’t inquire further regarding what exact type of drug it is, whether it’s a controlled substance and whether one needs a prescription for it, you might be at risk for several types of harm.
Facing allegations of illegal drug activity?
The above scenario could possibly lead to criminal charges. Let’s say, for instance, your friend offered you that pain reliever tablet without informing you it was a heavy narcotic, and then you got into your car to drive after taking it. The effects of the drug may inhibit your driving skills, thus resulting in getting pulled over in a traffic stop. Before you know it, an officer is asking you to exit your vehicle to perform field sobriety tests under suspicion of impaired driving.
New York is one of many states that govern such situations under implied consent. This means upon receiving a driver’s license, you automatically agreed to take any chemical test lawfully requested by a law enforcement agent who has probable cause to suspect you of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. That small pain relief tablet could wind up getting you arrested.
Fighting charges in court
This, of course, is only one example of how prescription drugs may lead to legal trouble. Whether you were in a house searched by police in an alleged drug raid, or you face charges for any drug crime, including possession of marijuana, you have the right to fight the charges against you. If you present a strong defense, you might be able to avoid conviction.
In such situations, it’s typically best to act alongside skilled representation. An experienced defense lawyer knows the ins and outs of the criminal justice system and can guide you through the process in a way that increases your chances of achieving positive results.

PHILADELPHIA — A group of activists gathered in front of the Philadelphia Juvenile Justice Services Center Monday afternoon to advocate for the youth currently incarcerated during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Those assembled called on city Mayor Jim Kenney, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, and local courts to halt admissions and institute a timely process to release those youths in detention.
“Juvenile court judges, as well as Mayor Kenney and the DA’s office, have not yet taken the steps needed to expedite the release of all young people incarcerated or held in placements,” the Village of Arts & Humanities’ Michaela Pommells said. “It is vital to the health and well-being of our young people that the City return them to the care of their families and communities, rather than keep them behind bars. We call on our city officials to imagine these young people as their own children and respond ethically and responsibly.”
“People are coming together to fight for what’s right,” added Youth Art & Self-empowerment Project organizer Dashaun Harden. “We call on the judges, Mayor Kenney and the District Attorney to release incarcerated youth now because it’s sad to see youth suffer in a facility where they are vulnerable to get a virus – knowing it can be their last days; we are basically failing our youth.”
As of May 15, there were 122 young people being held in the center as well as an additional 21 youths currently awaiting trial in adult prisons.
Organizers played audio recordings of teenagers who were recently released. They described their fear when they learned that members of the staff had tested positive and a two-week lockdown was required.
“We couldn’t come out of our cells that much or interact with each other. It made me feel like a caged animal,” one recently released 16- year-old said. “Since I’ve been home, it’s been hard to sleep.”
Concern about the COVID-19 virus was evident at the rally itself. Many attendees who wanted to show up and have their voices heard participated by forming a parade of cars that continually honked their horns. Meanwhile everyone outside wore masks and some wore gloves, while Lysol wipes were used to clean the microphone.
Philadelphia City Councilwoman Jamie Gauthier called in to the event and addressed the crowd by having someone hold a phone in front of the microphone. Additionally, Councilwoman Kendra Brooks attended in- person and spoke.
“In juvenile detention facilities, social distancing looks a lot like solitary confinement. This kind of long-term isolation is not only deeply inhumane, but could have long-term effects on youth development,” she declared. “The safest and most ethical thing we can do for them and for our communities is to bring them home.”
This event was organized by the Youth Art & Self-empowerment Project (YASP) and the Village of Arts & Humanities in coordination with a dozen other groups including the ACLU of Pennsylvania.

The South African Federation of Trade Unions has described as insulting recent utterances by Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande on student protests.
Nzimande held an online meeting with the South African Union of Students and members of Parliament on Tuesday, likening the protests for free higher education to a soap opera.
Students have, in recent weeks, disrupted operations at tertiary institutions calling for the scrapping of historic debt and that free higher education be realised.
SAFTU’s Spokesperson Trevor Shaku calls for Minister Nzimande to resign.
“He must resign because uttering and using such a metaphor and likening students to a soap opera was insulting of the efforts that the students have been making in fighting against financial exclusion, but also fighting for free education. The government that came into power on the card of providing free education and other social services has not brought free education, more than 20 years later. The reason why students are fighting on a yearly basis is because government has not provided or made sure that free education is realisable.”
Discussion on student protests against financial exclusion:
Damages on university institutions during student protests
The Department is still awaiting reports from the University of Zululand, Vaal University of Technology and Walter Sisulu University.
According to the Minister, the following damage and costs have been recorded at universities:
- CPUT recorded four cases of vandalism with repairs worth R2.6 million.
- UJ recorded seven cases of vandalism with repairs amounting to R202 826.
- UKZN recorded damage with repairs amounting to R27.3 million.
- UFH recorded damage with repairs amounting to R468 000.
- UWC recorded two cases of vandalism and theft to the worth of R166 007.
- UniVen recorded three cases of vandalism in 2020 with repairs costing R133 227.
Nzimande says the total cost of repairs, including those that have already been carried out, amount to R32.7 million.
“None of these acts and massive losses incurred could be justified or associated with any legitimate forms of protest and should be condemned unequivocally by all, including our student and union stakeholders. I am also convinced that all progressive stakeholder organisations will agree that criminal and violent acts have no legitimacy in genuine political protests around demands for greater equality in post-school education and training.”
Security and safety measures
Nzimande has called on University Vice-Chancellors to tighten appropriate security measures at higher learning institutions.
He has also called on police to act swiftly against acts of violence and destruction to property.
“The destruction of property is a criminal offence and all those engaging in such acts must be apprehended by law enforcement agencies and face the full might of the law.”

The icing on that cake was last Sunday’s “Agreement on Peace, Friendship and Comprehensive Cooperation Between the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and the State of Eritrea” in Jeddah, which brought to a final close, an armed conflict that began in 1961. We are also witnessing peace talks between Djibouti and Eritrea.
Quite often, the news oozing out of Africa are those of booming guns, the rumblings of hunger, cries of children, sighs of adults and the forlorn look of the aged and, of course, an inept leadership that has turned the continent into the headquarters of human poverty. But the news in the last few days and weeks are also of African leaders putting on their thinking caps to bring peace, as a step towards greater unity and development.
The icing on that cake was last Sunday’s “Agreement on Peace, Friendship and Comprehensive Cooperation Between the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and the State of Eritrea” in Jeddah, which brought to a final close, an armed conflict that began in 1961. We are also witnessing peace talks between Djibouti and Eritrea. Earlier on September 5, an historic tripartite meeting had taken place in Asmara attended by Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, Somalian President Mohammed Abdullahi Farmaajo and Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki. A major significance of that meeting is that Eritrea and Somalia, who have had a decade old conflict over allegations that the former was supporting Islamist fighters in Somalia, talked peace.
The United Nations, in accusing Eritrea of assisting Somalia terrorists, had in 2009 imposed economic sanctions and arms embargo on the country. Now, the Somalian president says that embargo should be lifted as this would promote, “economic integration in the Horn of Africa”
The Horn of Africa is one of the continent’s most vulnerable points. Ethiopia is embroiled in bloody internal conflicts that have turned it into a vast land area of internally displaced persons. Eritrea was at war with Ethiopia from 1961 to 1991, losing 575,000 persons. A second war from 1998 to 2000 saw it lose at least 19,000 fighters. Since then, it has been on war footing, maintaining 124,000 troops in the demilitarised zone and the border area with Ethiopia; a situation that has sapped its energy. These, coupled with the U.N.’s economic embargo and an alleged involvement in the Yemeni war, has turned the small country of five million people into one the world’s largest source of refugees. Somalia is a failed state that has had no effective government since the 1991 removal of Mohammed Siad Barre. Parts of it, like Somaliland, has declared unilateral independence, with the terrorist, Harakat al-Shabaab al-Mujahideen, better known as al Shabaab, controlling parts of the country and frequently attacking the capital, Mogadishu, while the United Arab Emirate is trying to seize some of its infrastructure like the ports.
While tiny Djibouti is at peace, its waters are infested with foreign military bases owned by the United States, China, Japan, France and Italy, making it a virtual hostage to international military rivalries. It therefore makes common sense for the four countries to pursue peace, rather than be at war.
A major figure in the Horn of Africa peace process is the youthful Ethiopian leader, 42-year old Abiy Ahmed who faces serious political challenges at home. He became a child soldier at 15, fighting in the ranks of the Oromo Peoples’ Democratic Organisation against the Ethiopian military regime headed by Mengistu Haile Mariam.
A major figure in the Horn of Africa peace process is the youthful Ethiopian leader, 42-year old Abiy Ahmed who faces serious political challenges at home. He became a child soldier at 15, fighting in the ranks of the Oromo Peoples’ Democratic Organisation against the Ethiopian military regime headed by Mengistu Haile Mariam. With the defeat of the latter, he became part of the new Ethiopian Army, attaining the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in its Intelligence and Signals Corps. He also bagged a PhD in Conflict Studies, and was in 2015, appointed minister of science and technology.
There were serious protests, mainly from his Oromo ethnic group, who constitute the majority nationality in the country. The protesters, amongst other demands, wanted the equality of all nationalities and the right to self-determination. After three years of bloody repression, then prime minister, Hailemariam Desalegn, resigned on February 15, 2018. On April 2, Aby Ahmed became prime minister. Within weeks, he set free some 10,000 political prisoners, including some on death row who had been convicted for allegedly being terrorists. He also wants to review the country’s Ethnic Federation law, which is potentially explosive.
Ahmed had fought in the 1998-2000 Ethiopia-Eritrea War, in which over 50,000 Ethiopian soldiers were killed. As prime minister, he promised to end the conflict with Eritrea. Three months after he became Ethiopian leader, he flew to Asmara for direct talks with the leadership. At the July 8, 2018 meeting with Eritrean President Afwerki, he accepted the 2000 Algiers Agreement, which gave the disputed lands between the two countries, including the symbolic village of Badme, to Eritrea.
The next day, both leaders signed a joint “Declaration of Peace and Friendship.” The Ethiopian leader said after the Declaration: “”We have tried war and found it useless… There is no longer a border between Eritrea and Ethiopia, because a bridge of love has destroyed it.”
It was this Declaration that led to Sunday’s Agreement. Both countries, which pledged to respect each other’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, said they were engaging in the peace process in order to achieve lasting peace and cement their historical ties; to establish comprehensive cooperation on the basis of complementarity and synergy and to contribute actively to regional and global peace and security.
Perhaps the country that stands to gain most in the peace process in the Horn is Eritrea. It has immediately restored air and telephone links with Ethiopia and may see its ports used once again by Ethiopia. It also has the opportunity to free most of its youth undergoing compulsory military service, so they can embark on productive and development activities.
The Seven-Point Agreement declares that: “The state of war between the two countries has ended and a new era of peace, friendship and comprehensive cooperation has started.” This formally brought the 56-year conflict to an end. It also provided that: “The two countries will combat terrorism as well as trafficking in people, arms and drugs in accordance with international covenants and conventions.” This is significant, given the allegations that while Ethiopian soldiers are battling the terrorists in Somalia, Eritrea was providing the terrorists support.

It has immediately restored air and telephone links with Ethiopia and may see its ports used once again by Ethiopia. It also has the opportunity to free most of its youth undergoing compulsory military service, so they can embark on productive and development activities. Eritrea may also have the crippling U.N. embargo lifted, while being at peace with its neigbours. Already, it has rejoined the regional Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD).
Long suffering Eritrea, an ancient African kingdom, has virtually not known peace since Italy colonised it 128 years ago. The British seized it from the Italians in 1942 during the Second World War. Ten years later, the U.N. took Eritrea from the British, but rather than grant it independence, handed it to neigbouring Ethiopia as a Trust Colony. On September 11, 1952, Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia signed the Eritrea-Ethiopia Federation Act, which brought it under Ethiopian control.
The new peace moves and accords in the Horn of Africa, is a remarkable victory for our continent; it shows that there can be an African solution to our challenges.

Duvéotry is a designer of duvet and quilt covers. The name of our company is a combination of the words duvet and poetry. All of our current products incorporate a very simple 9 square pattern (reference the attached .pdf for an example of one of the patterns and one direction we were thinking of taking the logo idea - but don’t get locked into it as we would like to see your ideas!). The color patterns are designed to be like a mandala or color poetry. We need the logo to speak directly to this image in order to drive home the concept. The logo would be incorporated heavily into all marketing materials and our web presence so we need it to be great. It doesn’t need to be fancy – simple is great if it carries the concept.

President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi pointed out the reasons for delaying the move to the new administrative capital and a number of major projects.
President El-Sisi unveiled that the postponement due to the work of foreign companies and the decline in the provision of supplies linked to the pandemic of the Coronavirus that the world is exposed to.
President El-Sisi affirmed that the national companies are still working while preserving the precautionary measures with the cooperation of the health authorities, the army and the police.
President El-Sisi stressed that he doesn’t support the disruption of the Egyptian life and the suspension of work altogether. He pointed out that this is dangerous, as there are millions of citizens working.
He went on to say that the state is keen to stop studying and protect students and keep their safety. He added that people should not worry as the state was prepared for any measures and we will never threaten our sons.
He president demanded reducing the number of citizens in the workplace, especially the elderly and women, urging the private sector to behave in the same direction with a pledge not to reduce the salaries of workers.
He emphasized that circulating rumors aims to sow frustration in the Egyptian people and reduce any achievement.
Egypt’s head of state warned of the role of the evil forces in raising rumors, as happened during the period of digging the new Suez Canal. The rumors were repeated today that circulated about distributing support to irregular workers.
Egypt’s head of state emphasized that the procedures are being prepared and support is studied, while avoiding crowding, in order to preserve the lives of citizens.
He said that the aim of today’s meeting is to conduct an experiment to open new national projects to show the people the effort that is being made.
This came during the presidents speech today on the sidelines of inspecting precautionary measures to counter the spread of the new Corona virus.

"Apparently we ordered apples and randomly got an apple iphone! Made my sons week!" the man excited about the pleasant surprise tweeted.
While online shopping is mostly hassle-free, there could still be a nagging doubt if the products showcased on the internet will match the actual product when it is received. While most stories usually have a sad ending, a customer in the UK couldn’t have been luckier. Though he had ordered some apples, he was surprised to finnd an Apple iPhone in his shopping bag instead!
Nick James, 50, recently placed his orders on Tesco’s website. When he went to collect his groceries from the company’s local store in Twickenham, he was told there was a ‘surprise’ in his bag. When he opened his bag, he was astonished to see pricey iPhone SE box hidden away in his ‘click and collect order’.
“Apparently we ordered apples and randomly got an apple iphone! Made my sons week!” James excited about the pleasant surprise tweeted. Sharing images of the packed device along with a card explaining the gift, he created a buzz online. Best part, he still got what he ordered — the fruits.
“I was half expecting the surprise to be an Easter egg or something – I was a little bit shocked to say the least,” the man told Daily Mirror reacting to the gift.
According to Metro, the mix-up was intentional and is part of a promotional campaign called a “super substitute” where Tesco Mobile surprise click and collect members by replacing their order. “Tesco Mobile is giving away 80 items in total until April 18 at a handful of stores. Winners are chosen at random, and you need to purchase certain items to be in with a chance of getting a ‘super substitute’,” the news outlet explained.
“Tesco Mobile’s ‘Super Subs’ has been created to show how amazing things can happen when the worlds of supermarket and mobile come together – all while putting a smile on shopper’s faces,” the supermarket chain said in a statement.
And it’s not just iPhones, some have got tables and airpods among other things. James wasn’t the only one, and there were others too who shared photos of their surprise gifts.
While the opposite has happened quite a few times, the rare occurrence of actually getting an iPhone has left all shocked online. While some wanted to know how can they too get one, others found it very hard to believe.

Per Bobby Marks of ESPN, waiving Gordon “will drop the Clippers’ projected tax bill from $169M to $59M. LA is $18M over the $165M tax threshold.”
Gordon, 34, is likely to draw interest from other contenders, but probably not until later in free agency or right before training camp.

Aspen, Part Trois
We LOVE Aspen Highlands! Not only is the snow much better than Ajax, the vibe is much more chilled and relaxed, and the terrain is awesome. From their website: "Of the four mountains, Aspen Highlands avoids the spotlight, which is perfectly fine with the locals and in-the-know skiers and riders who tackle its uncrowded slopes. Hike the ridge to Highland Bowl for the sweetest run of your life, or simply cruise along the mid-mountain groomers off the Cloud Nine chairlift. Views over the valley to the snow-covered Maroon Bells constantly will remind you: this is Colorado at its best." We wholeheartedly agree.
It was snowing and cold today. I skied, 1der sat it out. I was excited to ski today for all the obvious reasons, and most of all, because today was the first day we were meeting up to ski with Jim, our Mountain Collective buddy I met last year at Alta.
Flashback to February 10, 2016... 1der was again in the ski shop, getting his new boots tweaked. Did I mention AGAIN??? I continued skiing alone. I was about to sit on the chair, and suddenly this person skis on and sits down. A big, friendly hello from Jim, who lives in Colorado. At the end of the lift ride, we decided to ski together for the rest of the day.
Jim is a 30-year law enforcement professional, and he loves to ski. Unfortunately his wife doesn't ski much anymore, so he hit the road by himself. Jim skis a lot. The dude has three ski passes! He was just finishing up his Mountain Collective Tour, but he was going in the reverse direction as us. He started in Jackson Hole, then went to Sun Valley and Alta. His last stop before going home was Aspen. It was his first day in Alta and our last. We were leaving that night for Aspen and just starting our five-week tour.
We said our goodbyes and agreed to meet for dinner in a few days in Glenwood Springs on his way in to / our way out of Aspen. Dinner was great, and we stayed in touch all throughout the off-season, talking about how we were going to meet up again this year.
Meeting Jim was Life's Magic in play!
Last night, Jim joined us and T-Bone for dinner, and it was really great to see him again. Jim has a fantastic, upbeat attitude. So not what you would expect from a 30-year law enforcement professional who has seen enough to make him the most jaded guy on the planet. This is not the case with Jim.
Back to today... Initially, the plan was for me and Jim to meet up with Rich and his friend to hike up and ski Highlands Bowl. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), Jim and I got separated from Rich, which enabled us to have a chance meet up with Terry and take a couple runs with him. Niiiice.
Terry took me to the ski patrol hut at the top of the Loge Peak chair to purchase a strap for carrying skis while hiking the bowl. Four patrolmen were in the hut, and I proceeded to tell them my Daddy's story and how much I revere and appreciate all patrollers, on all mountains. One particular Patroller in the hut, Marlon, was so kind, and he presented an amazing offer: he would like to personally accompany me and 1der on the hike up to the bowl and the ski down. I was floored and humbled. Wow, wow, wow. Unfortunately today was not the day to go up to the bowl as it was blowing and snowing really hard. The hike would have been extremely difficult and dangerous, and the ski down would have been very dicey as well. No worries, though, Marlon's offer is standing for whenever we come back. Another Life's Magic Dance moment. Truly amazing. Thank you, Marlon, and thank you, Daddy, for making this encounter possible.
Terry left to teach a private lesson, and Jim and I had a blast skiing in the stormy weather. This was a great way to kick off the next few weeks of skiing together.
At lunch, we met up with Rich, and we spent the rest of the afternoon on Kessler and Soddbuster. Lots of great, fresh snow. Super fun. Another awesome day on the slopes!
Tonight was our last night with our local Aspen friends, and it was a treat to, once again, sit at their table and share a meal with them. It truly is a pleasure to spend time with this family; fantastic parents who have done an awesome job raising two delightful, intelligent, well-mannered, respectful, engaging girls.
Many many thanks again for their hospitality, and for letting us "plug and play." We look forward to seeing them next year!
