Private Idaho

I was gonna get all politicky in today’s blog. I’ve had a post brewing and stewing in my head for a few days now.

But daydreams of Idaho keep interrupting my thoughts.

We leave for Ketchum next Saturday. My first non racing related vacation since my trip to Canmore in 2004. And that trip is one of my fondest memories. Epic country to be explored with great friends. It doesn’t get any better than that.

Plus, Heather’s obsession with Rye whiskey is sure to keep us entertained.

Ketchum if you can.

~~

I will leave with this one sorta politicky message. I hope that the seriousness of today’s anniversary causes our country and media to pause and reflect on the substantive issues, rather than on attention garnering , time clock wasting, bullshit tactics like getting all hypocritically pouncy over lipsticked pigs.

Lipstick is a distraction from the real issues, and that’s a shame. With new politicians concerned and caring about the whole world, we can change our image so we and other countries might not have any more anniversaries of days like today.
Rye whisky, huh? You guys have fun.

ippoc amics last blog post…..much more than this

Ooooh, a non-racing vacay. Sounds lovely! I hope it’s super-restorative.

Ketchum because Donna’s family has a home there. On a road called Chocolate Gulch, so that must be paradise.

Heya

If you be back to riding but not training, boy do I have a ride for you! If you and Mike are around this w/e and want to play in the woods with the TWW crew we are starting at pogonip lot at 10am and shooting the infamous “spud cannon” after for our 1 yr anniversary. I would love to see you guys again and have some chica balance to the boy crowd.
