A Busy November

Wow-How could it have been this long without posting?!  And, it's not been busy with what I usually like to post, which is pictures of us outdoors hiking, biking, and (sniff, sniff) skiing, which is usually front and center by now!  Nope, not this year - it's been in the 30s and low 40s and not a snowflake to be seen in November - rain, yes.  Ice, yes.  No snow. We surely have been enjoying our house though and the gas fireplace that Brian put in to replace the standard fireplace that these town homes were built with.

More moose - it turns out the moose are around our new home a LOT!  Brian went to pull out of the driveway the other day and there was a moose right in back of him in the road.  We had a speaker here early in November for a keynote at UAA - came for dinner and couldn't get out of the car because there were two moose alongside of his car - he got great pictures for his family though!


We're looking forward to a trip to Mexico for a Year End Course with Landmark Wisdom Division, our first time going.  Landmark is a high performance training and development company, and what I bring back from these conferences always empowers my life and my work in unique and highly effective ways -- and with fun, play and ease - I can't wait!  But SKIING -- I need you! (This picture is from Sheep Mountain, 3 years ago - at Thanksgiving - just a few days away now!)

November also was a month (and part of October) that I participated in a Health & Fitness Challenge, and I lost 9 lbs. as a part of that -- and got more regular with my gym workouts.  The busy-ness of the last 2 weeks or so has presented a challenge again for the workouts, but the weight has been stable, and I'm out to lose another 3 lbs. and then maintain!

Last night we got ourselves out of the house at 8:30 pm - no easy feat, as we sometimes go to bed by 9:30 or even 9:00 - for the first tap of the Nouveau Beaujolais at Crush!

The guy in the funny hat "delivered" the cask, which was tapped and then drawn out with free wine for everyone in the place!

We enjoyed a glass, though it was getting late -- but it was fun all the same!
