February 14, 2008.  Bruno and I went to ski today.  He wanted to show me some of the really off-piste stuff they have around here so we went to Courmeyeur with the plan to ski a couple of couloirs off the Funivie Monte Bianco at 3462 meters and then ski back to Chamonix.  The first […]

February 7, 2008.  We met the Edgerly family (minus one daughter) tonight for dinner.  They are here from Aspen, visiting with their daughter attending college for a year here and perfecting her Spanish and learning Catalan, the language of the region here.  It was really fun for me to see Stuart, about the nicest guy I […]

January 31, 2008.  I’ve had a nasty something that seems like a sinus infection for 11 days and I’m sick of it.  Green flem, sinus pressure, etc… I wanted to see if I could get rid of it without drugs (antibiotics) and make sure it wasn’t a virus.  No such luck.  So off I went […]

January 24, 2008.  Today the family went to the German Consulate here and acquired German citizenship.  We are now dual citizens of the US and Germany.  We managed to take care of this, which with some foresight we would have done years ago, with the help of our friends in Germany, Jahudi and Stefanie.  This […]

January 17, 2008.  Today was the last day of skiing with the group.  We had a veterinarian here to inspect the property/ski resort for a group trip coming up in TWO YEARS.  He was pretty nice and I skied with him for the day.  We had powder that turned into cement by the end of […]

January 10-11, 2008.  The missing days. January 12, 2008.  Today my new job as a group escort for ski trips started.  With a bang, after one of the people I met at the airport had a bag stolen out from under our eyes.  Amazing since everyone was sitting with the luggage, and his bag disappeared.  […]

January 3, 2008.  My sister left this morning to catch a flight back to New York. I went to rent a car (in person, I just couldn’t get a good rate over the Internet).  This required some negotiation, and I’m certain I was given among the worst deals possible.  I will be driving up to […]

December 26, 2007.  Marbella town was just as cute as we remembered it, with narrow streets, a castle (what town doesn’t have one), the Plaza de los Naranjos, etc…  It was a bit too cold and windy for the boys to hang on the beach so we went back to the hotel and let them […]

December 19, 2007.  Today we drove south from Barcelona to Villajoyosa, a town about 40 kilometers before Alicante.  We turned a five hour drive into a six and a half hour drive, but it was a lot of fun since the boys sang, scretched, got of each other’s nerves (and hours) and we were driving […]

December 12, 2007.  I can’t believe this is week 17.  It really feels like we’ve only been here four months.  I’m thinking I’d like to get a white German Shepard when we get back since Rocket needs a friend and our house is probably trashed anyway. December 13, 2007.  Anne’s Birthday.  She’s 34.  How time flies.  […]
