So what was President's Day 2009 like for you? I can tell you what it was like to Michelle and I. It was 20 inches of fresh powder on a Lake Tahoe ski resort named Squaw. It was Michelle and I crushing the powder, hitting every black diamond in site. It sounded like WHACK! I turn around and Michelle hasn’t just crushed the powder, she’s tried to crush a tree too. Hitting it and being flipped around. I’m worried. She’s laughing. Not a big deal. We just continue loving the snow. Later on we head back down the mountain, towards Sacramento, and run into a slowing, no, stopping of the I80. We sit on the road for an hour, listening to music in our car and playing with our iPhones, no movement, until the authorities clear the crashed cars off the icy blacktop below. Presidents Day 2009 was visit to Napa for us. It tasted like a beautiful Cabernet and a whole host of wonderful wines. We brought some home. We’ll share them, or maybe just share them with each other. Come visit before they are gone. President’s Day 2009 was fun. Just fun.
