I get very into skiing in case some of you couldn't tell . I go through a bit of withdrawal when I'm done for the season and usually spend a weekend moping a around wondering what the hell I did with myself before I skied. I eventually snap out of it and faster forward to fall and football and pre-ski season hype and I'm wondering what happened to summer. Skiing is all consuming from November-May so I like to do lots of other things that we don't have time for during ski season.
My favorite things to do are go to the weekly farmers markets because I get very into grilling in the spring/summer/fall and buy all our vegetables here. We also go wine tasting next door and I stock up on wine as I don't have time to buy it in the winter. You have to go to a package store here and I usually don't have time to do this in winter so buy up from May-October. We also camp, go for drives, watch as much live music as we can, pick strawberries, blueberries and hit a fair share of breweries. We also head up to Vermont a few times and either stay at our friends house or one of our other favorite places. Probably go downhill mountain bike a couple of times, rent a kayak. My backyard reading pile is pretty stacked by May and I spend the summer whenever I have a chance reading in the backyard with a cold one.
So far my reverse SAD hasn't set in yet and I'm wondering if that's because we skied until May 6th, not sure. Regardless, I'm not depressed yet
Looking forward to seeing Def Leppard/Journey in June, spending 10 days in the Scottish highlands in July and seeing Boy George with Tom Baily (Thompson Twins) in August. Going to try to squeeze in Elton John sometime between September-November.
We also are planning a trip up to Magog in the eastern townships of Quebec to do some hiking, drinking and pick up my Dynastar SL cheaters that are waiting for me.
We also make a couple trips to Newport, Rhode Island for some beach time. We have beaches here but we're socked in by the Long Island sound so coming from California these beaches don't count. Newport is my playground.
Lastly, my friend Jenn is part of a sailing club and they sail every wednesday and then have a nice dinner. She's invited me to go with her. I'm excited to learn how to sail.
I'm not much of a lounger and I like to keep busy.
What winds your watch during the summer time.
