I know I'm not the norm, but I Love A Basin. No lines, great snow, and you can still sit in the parking lot and have a beer when you are done! Living in WI though, don't get to CO often. Favorite around here for me would be Lutzen. Big mountain sk...
Our thoughts and prayers are with these men and their families.
Population 485 is a great book. Thanks for reminding me, I need to read it again.

A Tom Mix pocket knife! My favorite too!
Fans of MASH.
I'm wondering if there is a place for me in heaven when I die. I was not raised in a traditional Christian household. My family was not anti-christian, there just was no church in our lives. No talk of God, or prayer, and yet to this day, I don't ...

Scott Warner said… - Thank you Gary, the launch is going very well yet measured so I don't grow myself out of business. As you can imagine the capital markets are tight, and people fearful. My focus right now is developing Wild Red's Social Network...Souldefiningmoments.com. In the mean time I continue to look for investors and vision builders to help in the progress. Providence will reveal its path, but I believe in the missions of our first responders and rescue units. As for the kids if we can help them find a sense of self and develop character maybe it will be one less we have to pull out of a dire situation. My hat is off to all who serve in organizations such as the ones on this network. Thank you for your words of encouragement. Be well and take care. Scott
