We ALL know not to eat that junk, right? I’m pretty good about it–particularly the gluten, less so the sugar. But yesterday was my birthday. And That Ripped Guy of Mine(TM) was going to make me an almond flour cake but ran out of time, so after a sunset picnic atop Aspen Mountain (awwwwww!), he…

Aspen: Motherlode Volleyball Tournament Labor Day Weekend
What was already a huge beach volleyball tournament just got even bigger: Aspen’s Motherlode Beach Volleyball tournament is (sadly) benefiting from the AVP’s decision to scrap the rest of its season due to $$ (lack thereof). Read the full Aspen Times article here. Want to watch some seriously awesome vball this weekend? Here’s the scoop:…
Business: You Gotta Be GOOD
I am definitely a student of the internet–I love reading the latest research, trends, musings, etc on the web, social media, the future, the past, and all that goes along with the changing way people interact. Scott Perry puts out the New Music Tipsheet, an incredible resource I started reading back in 2007 when this…

Around the Fitness Horn: Naked Celebs?
Urgent Goal = Success (or why Anna Paquin is so hot–because she’s naked on True Blood all the time). What is my urgent goal? More to come on that. “It takes no talent to be in shape.” Read more football/life advice here. Fitness Is … yep, this is why we all do this This makes…
SicFit Basketball?
Or something like that … I immediately loved this WOD from SicFit Austin but knew that it would suck like crazy, so when I needed a pick-me-up today, I tried it out. I made a bunch of mods for my dog park and the fact that I finally found a rock that is heavy but…

“Have Fun With Your Rocks”
As I’m setting up Nature’s Garage Gym for my daily WOD, along comes a man walking his dog. Given that I’m 20 feet below the trail on the riverbank, this is sort of surprising, but then, it’s Aspen, and everyone like mini-adventures. I’m toting a flat, 16″x8″ rock, about 30#, overhead, hopping on different rocks,…
Austin: Dogwood Grand Opening
Everyone loves the Bachelor Bars (an article I wrote in 2007!): Molotov, The Marq, Chuggin’ Monkey, Dizzy Rooster, and Thirsty Nickel. In the old Mother Egan’s spot next door to Molotov, the brothers bachelor (Brad, Chad, & Wes Womack) and partner Jason Carrier have reinvented the pub with a distinctly Southern flare. They’ve been open…
Masculine v Feminine
My totally badass new-to-me Land Rover Discovery II Kalahari Edition. The guy who sold it to me warned me about 7,000 times (k, probably just 15) that it was a “masculine” car. It’s very “manly,” he said in a concerned tone, thinking of the attention his son got in it and probably also the sic…
