Finally saw Boden's ski video - way to go. Hope I can follow him down the slope soon. Had a good day at Eldora yesterday - skiied the Sundance chair and took 5 runs so things are looking up. It was a beautiful day but schools were out in Boulder County and it was crowded especially inside. Mom came along and we had a great lunch at 3 p.m. at Katmandu!
Last week was really busy. Our Geopolitics discussion on Thursday was on finite Resources: Water and we had a guest from CU - retired from the Economic Dept - who had done a lot in the area and at the last minute I found a visiting professor from China who is at the China Institue of Water Resources and Hydropower Research. He was great with lots of comments on what the issues are in China. The President of China is a graduate of the Institute and has focused a lot of governemt attention on the issue of water. The Chinese are already pumping water from the Yangtze (south China) to the north using an old canal from the 1600s. They realize they have a major problem with the north being dry and the south wet but huge populations in the north. It was a good session.
With two basketball games and the Olympics we've been busy in the evenings. Enjoying most of the events and can repeat the ads by heart even with putting them on mute.
Expecting snow again on Sunday but the last 7 inch storm has almost all melted. We're getting it easy compared to the NE. I think Matt should plan to stay at W & L and not travel. He jinxes the weather! Hope you had a good 'at home' birthday, Matt.
