Hey fellow Bloobyrds. It’s been a long while since I posted anything new and although that’s been in large part due to the fact that snow is just beginning to fall again, the major reason is that I’ve been occupied by my new full-time gig.

Now that the ski season is coming to close, it’s time to think about keeping up strength and conditioning through an off-season workout program. Whether it’s in the gym, on a bike, in running shoes, or a combination of things, you have to come up with a plan that works for you and your [...]

With the current economic distress comes not only fire-sale deals on clothing, cars, and even houses, but also some more interesting items. Such as a heli-skiing first descent on the Troll Peninsula in northern Ireland. For serious?! Yup. Rabid skiers and snowboarders can finally get in the game and take advantage [...]
That’s right…just one year after playing Anthony Michael Hall’s geeky underling in “Sixteen Candles” and almost FIVE years before Lloyd Dobler showed up in “Say Anything”, John Cusack graced us with Lane Meyer, everyone’s favorite lovesick ski bum. After losing his girlfriend Beth to the high school ski team captain, Roy Stalin, Lane fights [...]
