The annual phone photo Christmas card. All the best in 2012!


It was an electric and rowdy scene in Breckenridge, CO at the finish line of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge. Sage 5 started in Steamboat Springs, CO and was briefly led by Andy Schleck coming into Breck, only to be caught by the sprinters on the last corner...
Hats off, or should I say on, to stage winner Elia Viviani with another amazing finish having won the stage in Steamboat the day before. Makes me want to chant Ullr, ullr...
Life is good for Levi.
What a beautiful day it was this past June 4th, when my cousin Ian Smith married Kate Herzog at Botanica Gardens in Wichita, KS. It was an outdoor ceremony in the gardens on a gorgeous aftenoon followed by a lively reception that included a rocking band from Connecticut who are friends of Kate and Ian's. If that wasn't enough for a festive family day, it also happened to be my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary and my son's 5th birthday.
Had a wonderful night out last week at the Lyons Farmette, with a dinner prepared by Medowlark Farm Dinners . Big thanks to our hosts, Betsy and Mike (above) who own the farm and have some beautiful chickens roaming about. And special thanks to Jennie and Scott for inviting us out to celebrate Scott's birthday! Great food, great wine, great friends, great time...

Woo hoo, it was a chilly night with some hot skiing. Most of the time they all stuck their landings, very good to see that. Only saw one 'that's-gonna-hurt-cause-I-heard-an-echo-throughout-Civic-Center-Park' crash, from the sound of the young man's person hitting the-scaffolding/plywood/astroturf/manmade snow covered landing, not so good to see that. He was ok thankfully. Alex Bellemare, above, was a winner and a spinner. Check out the Denver Big Air contest results, if you like.
