Snowshoeing Idyllwild: What a Way to Winter Wonderland it!

Share I once held the opinion that snow shoeing seemed dull and plodding.  I was foolishly comparing it to my other winter sport of choice: downhill skiing.  Now I know better 🙂 True, there is the absence of the adrenaline rush, unless you count, of course, the hair curling screams of local abominable snow beasts […]

ShareBonding can come in many forms.  It can occur whilst enduring discomforts or stresses together.  Or,  through simply enjoying good times. I left off with a kinked neck and folded legs on a long bus ride from Bangkok.  My co-volunteers and I were finally deposited at the port at 4:30 am and were told the […]

Share“She’s gotten three speeding tickets!” my 7-year-old nephew, Collin, announces in reference to his Aunt Gina (ahem) while en route to the track. I think I did an Auntie Fail. :\ I couldn’t help it! It wasn’t my fault!  We know I have a penchant for speed, (see Pushing My Prius ) and my family […]

Pushing My Prius

ShareI wrote this a while ago for my friends and family…before the, uh….issues that have arisen with my Prius and other Toyota models. Somehow, it adds a bit of irony and even drama to the part where someone is wondering how a Prius is on their tail in the rear view… I have a personal […]
