text: That almost certainly counts as TMI, but (as a historian who writes and teaches about empire) I can’t help myself! Thanks for commenting — I look forward to more conversations on this and other topics.

  I’m pretty late to joining the Kings of Leon bandwagon, but I’m totally in the front seat now. They are AMAZING. I recently read the Rolling Stone cover article about them (excerpts here), and I think they have a such an intriguing story. All related, came from a weird intensely religious background, got into music pretty late in the game, get drunk and get rowdy on a regular basis and aren’t afraid to admit it, etc. etc. Plus there’s a lot of beardage going on, and Caleb’s voice is freaking phenomenal.
  One of the girls I stayed with this weekend, Ashley, has been a major Kings of Leon fan since the beginning, so we spent a solid chunk of time this weekend dancing around, drinking Coronas, and blasting their music. If I’m lucky, I’ll get to spend most of my summer continuing that trend.

  STEEP DREAMS is a two-day celebration of skiing and ski mountaineering at Panorama Mountain Resort, BC.
  Day One starts with a bang:?? a morning vertical race, followed by an afternoon of race clinics and course tours to familiarize racers with the terrain they will encounter the next day.
  The second day of the festival includes two individual races: a Canadian Ski Mountaineering national circuit race; with elite,?? junior, and “skiduro” (timed descents only) categories, as well as a recreational race which is perfect for less experienced skiers or those new to the sport.

  How in the world is it the middle of August? Summer is half way over! Did you go on vacation? Did you sign up for my FREE series coming up on August 22nd? Chat with me!
  I can’t say I’m sad about summer being half way over because I can hardly wait for it to cool down. We’re escaping to San Diego for a long weekend this weekend and I’m so looking forward to beach time, cool weather and a lot of relaxing!
  Weather aside, my favorite thing about summer are the fresh veggies. It’s the one time of year I can convince myself to eat fresh, raw veggies. In the winter when I’m cold, forget it. They have to be hot or I won’t eat them. But in the summer, send me all the raw veggies and I’ll gladly eat them.
