The Utah wine crowd is a fun one. I know, you wouldn’t think it, but it is true. We get together for some sort of wine dinner every time we are in town, which is sadly limited to once a year. This year’s festivities took place upstairs in a private room at Talisker on Main.

 FKGuy looking good on the slopes of Deer Valley Ski-fest 2011 is over. In my case, maybe it could be called sit-around-in-ski-boots-fest.

One song I found myself singing along with is . . . → Read More: Livin’ the Dream People from Florida are not cut out for winter activities. I can hear my friends calling now “What do you mean we can’ t ski because we’re from Florida?” First of all, most of you are from someplace else.
