It may have been a cold day out today, but it was great to hit the slopes of Glen Eden for a few turns. The sun made it appearance a couple of times, but the wind was bitter blowing across the slopes. Unfortunately my knee started to get sore sitting on the chair lifts so I headed out after a couple of hours. Overall it was fun and hopefully I’ll make it out again this year!

Well, yet another attempt at blogging…  I have been planning to start an online blog since turning 33 so I’m only a month and a half late, but better late than never. I am trying out the new wordpress system in hopes of learning it to see if it will be useful for other websites I’ll be designing and building.  Don’t expect many posts in here, it will be more sporadic posting.
