Stephen Covey famously quotes the story of the Goose and the Golden Eggs, when he describes the P/PC balance. His point is that to continue Production (P or Golden Eggs), you must maintain, foster and strengthen your Production Capability (PC or better known as the Goose). Of course this makes sense in theory, but too [...] Today was the perfect combo of work and play. We woke up at Linn Canyon Ranch after music throughout the night. We knew we needed to get access to internet so our first quest was to track down a connection. After cruising the town of Victor, we returned to Driggs and set up camp in [...] Finally we had the perfect summer day in the Tetons. We woke up at 7 to perfect blue skies. Tim snacked on some breakfast and rode the 7 miles up the Targhee road. I needed to get some work done so I took the quicker route and drove the van. Tim then rode down the Mill [...] This morning Tim and I woke up to…fog…again…. Despite the promised sunny forecast, Jackson once more was wet and rainy. We had plans in Idaho at 11:00am so we packed up early and started making our way down the muddy 4 wheel drive road. Though there were times I had serious doubts whether [...] This morning’s sunrise wasn’t the glorious spectacle we hoped for. Instead we were greeted with London-like fog and drizzle. Low hanging clouds blocked the mountains and instead of creating a beautiful photo montage, Tim had to be contented with cooking up a tasty breakfast instead. Though I was also disappointed by the clouds, I [...]
Today 3095 Mallard Drive will be full of Virginia ladies. Several of Ann’s sorority sisters from Virginia Tech are coming to visit for the weekend and experience the Valley for the first time. Since the house will be full, Tim and I decided to temporarily move out so that there would be more beds available. After [...] It was an absolutely gorgeous day in Jackson. It’s official, summer has begun. And with summer comes Race Season. It was hard to motivate during the rain but now that the sun has come out everyone is glad to be out on the trails. As we gathered for the beginning of the Cache/Game race, the [...] Today’s chore was to clean house. This crossed many levels. The Vertical Media team went through their entire database of 15,000 pages and cleaned it up. This has been 3 months in the making and today that work came to fruition. As Dan eloquantly stated, it was “the day [...] “This is my worst picture of the entire blog” Tim stated this evening. Without having seen it yet, I had to make some comparisons. “Worse than the grapefruit last year?” I asked. “Worse” he said. “Worse than the Thai Chicken Peanut Sauce?” “Worse” he said. “Worse than the lightswitch?” “Worse” he said, sounding quite annoyed. “Wow” I said, “it must really [...] Happy Father’s Day to Leroy, John and Duncan as well as all the other fathers out there. Tim and I both thank you for your wisdom, guidance, love and endless support (even when we were busy screwing up and stealing turtles as dumb teenagers). We love you! Today’s Dad’s Day dawned sunny on Jackson. [...] We woke up a little bleary after a late night of BBQ’s, Corn Offs (Nebraska Corn Eating Contests) and Margaritas. But I still rallied to a free mountain bike clinic at 9. It was taught by pro mountain bike rider and Victor resident, Amanda Carey. I was so glad I did. For the small class [...] Today we woke to blue skies. I think everyone in town had been looking forward to this day all week. The forecast called for mostly sunny weather and we were ready. I celebrated the cool clear morning with a ride to work on my bicycle. Tim went even further by finally riding the Cache/Game trail in [...] Forecast for Jackson Hole for 6-18-09: cloudy with rain. Even the long time Jackson locals are claiming this is one of the wettest summers they have ever seen. We haven’t had a dry day for nearly a month. But even as the rain falls, we get the occasional sucker hole to enjoy. Tim’s first sucker [...] “Expeditions need to educate, to add to the knowledge of others, otherwise they are just stunts for self-enjoyment” – Dan Beutner, The Blue Zones While Tim and I have never shied away from enjoyment, we are also feeling the need to assign a purpose to this year long adventure that we are planning. Yes some [...] The Jeep went into the shop today. Complaints included: no lights in the dash, a loud clunking over the right tire, the occasional non-start, and the concerning tendency for the engine compartment to collect water after a big rain. By water I mean that as I go around any turn, a gallon of water sloshes [...] Today brought Joy back into our lives. Tim and I woke up early this morning in town and we swung by DOG for a burrito before returning home, taking showers and then heading back into Jackson for work. Monday was Monday for us both, but having a relaxing weekend prepared us for the busy day [...] Sunday has always been “Date Night” for Tim and I. Sometimes Date Night is dinner and a movie. Sometimes it’s a quiet night at home. Sometimes it’s food shopping at Albertsons under the auspices of a date, but I know that groceries just don’t constitute a date, no matter what Tim claims. But tonight we [...] Tim and I woke up at the cloudy base of Shadow Mountain after 10 hours of sleep. Usually we aren’t such gluttons for sleeping in but after a week of late nights and early mornings, we were overdue. We rolled out of bed, and then tried decide how best to spend this raining weekend in [...] Tonight Tim and I are back on the road. It’s a short road (only about 10 miles from town) but it’s a road none the less. When we got finished with work today, the sun was finally shining on Jackson. We packed up Frank in record time. I even got a compliment from Tom regarding my [...] Tim and my day started with our usual Jackson drizzle. But in the gray morning we both saw this little bird. Its brilliant yellow head was defiant against the rain. Today was filled with bright splashes of color. Landscapers came by with buckets brimming over with flowers for the back deck. Scott, inspired by a country [...] |
