xmas

was fun at the Hills. Alina of course received an unimaginable amount of presents. I of course ate enough to feed a small country. The weather was amzingly warm, in the 60s, which made for a great bike ride up to NCAR on Table Mesa. Kinda felt weird hiking up Sugarloaf in a short sleeve shirt on Christmas Day, but I enjoyed it. Food was fantastic, esp. Bill's pecan-encrusted wild salmon served over wild rice and red char. Now I'm back at work for one of the busiest check-in days of the entire year. Weather seems real good, dry roads now, with 3-6" expected tonight.
