It's a WHITE MESA Christmas

  Saturday was a good day. It had us heading south to White Mesa. The trails at White Mesa are a blast! They are very flowing and chock full of line choices. Anthony was kind enough to give me a lift down there to meet Robert and Aaron from the front range. I believe we rode around 15 miles. We could of ridden more but I had to keep stopping to take in the wonderful views.
   Christmas time is upon us all. It is a fun time but also a time full of too much consumerism. I wish there was a way to make Christmas a little more rootsy. Instead of BUY BUY BUY! You gotta keep up with the Jones' next door.
  On Friday Autumn, Ella, Autumns mom Kathy and I went to 10,000 Waves for a tub soak in the evening. It was really nice. I can't wait to go back there after a day of Pow up at the ski hill.
  What is in your audio player? Currently I have Death Cab For Cutie- Plans in my player. I liked that Hamad was the first to answer me and said that he had Astrud Gilberto in his player.Thanks for answering Hamad!
  I had a Left Hand Brewing Christmas beer the other night. It was tasty, but not as tasty as a celebration ale with which I judge all other xmas beers.Here is a blurry shot of it.

Here is a funny thing. It has some bad language so don't watch it if you are sensitive to such things: Charlie Brown Kwanza
