Eating on the cheap in Aspen (/Snowmass) can be a challenge, so I’m thrilled they’ve introduced Restaurant Week to Snowmass! More than 25 restaurants (who knew Snowmass had that many?!) are participating with prices at $20.11 … cute. Started on Saturday, runs through February 18. My top three picks: GARNISH (American) Open Daily for Après…

Ask for what you want
I’m in the airport at a restaurant I actually really like: Denver Chophouse. they offer buffalo burgers and brew their own beer, what else do I need? I wanted a salad and the burg, so I said to the waiter: “I have a weird request.” he interrupts me: “we get weird requests all the time,…

I’m at the gym tonight working on a 1 rep snatch max so I can partake in a fun CrossFit Austin workout (which, it turns out, I later mangled anyway). A few guys are also in there working out, and they’re not slouches–one of them is doing almost-handstand-pushups suspended from the TRX (the point? not…
