Quick Girls




 Another day in the snow, amazing how fast these girls can turn their skis. Lindsey Vonn did not finish in medals but at least she got down the course for both runs of the Audi Winterfest FIS World Cup Slalom race in Aspen, Colorado.

Flying Snow






 A chill is in the air all over, but in Aspen there is a downright freeze going on. Some of the best early snow conditions in years with really cold temperatures made for perfect conditions for the FIS Audi Women's World Cup Giant Slalom race. French racer Tessa Worley won with  total of three onehundreths of a second separating the first three racers. Starting to feel like winter to me.

Welcome to the World Series








The first ever World Series for the Texas Rangers. What an amazing spectacle it was. Being part of it gives me an understanding what die hard baseball fans are attracted to in such a drawn out playoff series. The drama it creates and the stress that they feel. Unlike the football season that comes down to single games, there can be such swings both up and down.
For the Rangers there were great crowds, great wins, some sad loses, just beat by a superior team of the San Francisco Giants in the end. What can fans expect to see next year from the team, that is where the perpetual hope of a baseball fan comes in.
