So it's been a while ...

since I've blogged. I've been working like a doggie and it's been good work. Our big challenge this year is to create and use virtual spaces to collaborate with others and innovate. Virtual classrooms, virtual workrooms, virtual meeting rooms.
It works pretty well except for those times when you just really really need to get up at a white board with a few other people and diagram out what you need to say. Even the virtual white boards just don't do the trick. Or - when it's a contentious subject and everyone wants to talk at once (see my previous blog) - it's hard to synthesize a lot of speaking at the same time, when you're all on a conference call. But it's better than getting on a plane.

Today though, and yesterday, I got the opportunity to take a few days off and ski. The snow is incredible - powder sometimes up to our knees. We skied Vail yesterday and Copper today. Man, does Copper Mountain have some LONG runs!! It was crazy windy but once we got going, it was awesome. It sure does feel good to lay down though. :)
