Kala headed to Kansas in Dec to be sainted, and help her cousin with medical treatments there so Matt & I and others went through the holidays for the 1st time in 45 years without her. The stockings were up and Matt, Letha, and I did a gift exchange over a classic holiday meal at sushi! Matt enjoyed his bounty and LPC & MLC enjoyed their F1 dish towels. I scored a keen Shun serrated utility knife for skinned veges (really like Japanese steel) and enjoyed a world class DDH IPA, DDH Ghost in the Machine, once in Summit for skiing and audio work.
I did host my good friends Bro Brown & Donna... always a pleasure. Of course I was over at the Lodge for some nosh and brews too. And our friend and neighbor Alan brought us a treat of boozy eggnog!
We rolled into January dry as a bone here in CO so not much skiing but I did get out with BroB and Richard... we crushed some speedy blue & black laps @ the Key and Richard made guac, tacos, etc for dinner and we watched some football. I also snagged another keen DDH, from ORB this time of course ~ Slush was excellent.
I headed back to COS and hosted a Natl Champ watch party with Bob, Alan, Jim, and Dave (no team pic; just setup). We had my nachos and lobster raviolis with Sriracha and tomatillos... and some nice beers (except for Alan, who's doing NA January ~ respect).
In Dec25 Matt & I laid plans for the Rolex 24. I watched the Roar Before The 24 in preparation. And, Jim & I took out the FlyBox a final time before cold weather set in again. We hit some keen local brewers and capped with excellent sushi over a nice 4 hour night.
Decent holiday time, all things considered ~ I'm looking forward to Kala's return.
