I’m coming on the third straight weekend of trips. I really need a personal day to reset but….. There is powder in Crested Butte this weekend. 20-30 inches and I still have 2 more days on my pass. Three trips, three weekends….. ORLANDO, SAN DIEGO, and now CRESTED CUTTE. I’m so exhausted from all ofContinue reading “Another trip”

A lot has happened since I last posted….. so I don’t know what to say. Do I talk about my life? Do I talk about a trip or a challenge I have faced recently. I do not know what the right move is but I’m here. I mean pay for the website… I probably shouldContinue reading “Hello There”

When I was a child, I used to play down by the creek. We used to build dams, build little boats, and get muddy. I remember being extremely stoked about the rain. More storm = more mud. I do still like the mud even as an adult, if I have my boots on, I alwaysContinue reading “Muddy This, Muddy that”

The start of a new era. The reset. Start the new year off fresh. What are your goals and aspirations?!? Think hard and commit…. Have a vision, one that is challenging yet achievable. Make a list, put it on the wall. Like going for a mountain bike ride at 7 am in the morning onContinue reading “New Year’s Day”

Ideas are often best when they are stolen, with a different spin…. So I’m writing this today because I’m stealing my brother’s idea…. Shout out to Vince. As a Chirico, we hold on to items, items that should be thrown away. For some reason I have an odd connection to those broken glasses that haveContinue reading “Clutter Bin Series: Black Flat Cap”

I wonder what other people’s thresholds are for work, life balance. At what point does the amount of work impact your life? For me, 55 hours is probably the most (not for long periods of time). The amount of days is my biggest issue. Like at Amazon working 4 days a week was awesome. EveryContinue reading “Work life balance”

I have never been to a festival before last weekend…. Wow, I have been missing out all these years. At any given time, there was three bands playing and thousands people getting Swifty. The festival was in Grant Park in Chicago. Hats off to Chicago for creating a really cool park. There was so manyContinue reading “Lala”

It is official, I no longer buy bread. I wanted some bread with my pasta last night and I just baked some. I didn’t even think about it, I just did it. I’m so glad that I don’t have to rely on the grocery stores to supply my Italian bread. I’m Italian goddamit, bread isContinue reading “Bread”

College = Success? I just got off the phone with my sister and she was a little worried about the next steps. She told me that she wanted to work remote…. don’t we all? I told her that she may need to get a little more educated to do that. Why is that? She isContinue reading “Colder Days”

I get it, I get why people live in Arizona. It’s pretty cool really. It was 70° and sunny in March. Meanwhile, I have been miserable in Colorado. Colorado weather is a thousand times better than most places. Phoenix just has some awesome access to cool places. You got Flagstaff 2 hours north, Sedona anContinue reading “Why yes”
