At the end of the summer I laid down plans to remain in the Sno Valley in pursuit of a teaching job. Then a little bird, as they say, informed me of a possibility of a slightly different direction in which to take my life.
There was a job opening at Stevens Pass for their Manager of Youth Programs. I applied for and eventually accepted the position. Again, not what I had planned and wonderfully so.
There's a Calvin and Hobbes where both friends are postholeing through a fresh landscape of snow dragging their sleds behind them. They marvel at the fantastic transformation that snow brings. The strip closes with Calvin stating "It's a magical world Hobbes old buddy. Let's go exploring!" I share those sentiments.
So now I am living directly across the street from Stevens Pass Ski Area in cozy a-frame cabin. My office 5 minutes away which is, in turn, 30 seconds from the lifts. A happy situation. My job will challenge and stretch me in lots of exciting ways. I pray now that I am up to the tasks ahead of me.
So without droning on just yet, here is my new home: (it now has much more snow on it)

Wow, nice to see this updated...
I found myself pondering the fact that while this season might prove to be my least skied, MJ will be probably put in a PR of most skied. Enjoy it, I know I did when I was full time.
Congrats, Don
Snow!! I am so excited about seeing snow. I live in such a weird no snow, no rain, leaves still on the trees wonderworld, that I cannot believe it is December. Your house is fantastic! I can't wait to see it. Can we decorate it like a gingerbread house and tell the kids a wicked witch lives there?
