I tasted over 60 wines in 2 days.
I didn’t swallow. TWSS
Vegas and I ran off to Napa to take a wine course. It was amazing and crazy. I’ve never tasted so much wine without a drinking a single sip.
Our last day there was meant for fun though – we visited 4 of the best wineries I’ve been to!

Can I have a Wordless WIAW?
Who am I kidding… I never shut up.
Yesterday I completed San Diego’s 5 Peak Challenge. It was such a beautiful hike; I wish I could just post 20 pictures today! That’s a little boring, I know. Plus the challenge is a fun background story!
I hiked the first two peaks alone on Tuesday and again on Saturday with friends. Yesterday I did the final three alone. Well, alone with the company of a few podcasts.
…
I’m pretty impulsive.
In case you didn’t get that from the time I ran away and got married…
Yesterday I decided I didn’t want to go to the gym and would instead go for a hike. Not so impulsive… except that it was already getting late, it’s been in the 80s here, the previous day was leg day, and I’m still supposed to be rehabbing my ankle from my PRP treatment.
No matter. At 3 pm I headed out to Cowles Mountain. It’s only about a 20 minute drive inland… but that resulted in a 10 degree difference in temperature. It was 91 degrees when I started the hike.
The gorgeous blue sky and visible midday moon was a nice distraction from the heat.

Is everyone pumped for Valentine’s Day?
Like most holidays, I’m just here for the food.
Ever since Vegas came into my life I’ve become a bit more mushy. We were both just laughing at how cheesy we are. It’s awesome disgusting.
After learning her favorite dessert is red velvet cake, I’ve been creating red velvet everything. This Valentine’s Day it’s Red Velvet Protein Dip.
…
I actually love politics.
Who doesn’t like to see well-educated people look ridiculous on stage?
If you know me, you know my favorite people to make fun of are Sarah Palin and Donald Trump. They make it too easy sometimes though. Palin endorses Trump… then her son gets arrested… then she lies about his PTSD and tries to blame others for his bad behavior. Just wow.
But, you have to laugh. Otherwise you’ll cry. In that spirit, here are some things that DO always tell the truth:
…
I can walk!
With a little limp.
It’s been almost a week since my PRP treatment to regrow a ligament my ankle. I can’t think about running yet, but I can ride a bike! I’ve been doing 10 miles at verrrrry low resistance on the old folks bike. You know the one – with the reclined back lounge chair. No shame!
…
I can ski pretty well.
I was one of those 6 year olds on the slopes.
While I grew up skiing, I never wanted to try to snowboard. I don’t get to the snow very often and when I do, I don’t want to spend my time falling trying to learn something else.
Vegas and I are in Big Bear right now. I spent day 1 skiing while she spent the day in snowboarding school. I had a blast shooting down double blacks and navigating a few moguls.
…
I’m done playing.
For the most part.
We have survived our first year of marriage. We’ve eaten basically anything we wanted, had many toasts, and celebrated to our heart’s content. After a year of playtime, we’ve agreed it’s time for a year of health. This year is about travel, adventure, and being in top shape to do it all!
But first, a last meal.
