Vermont, take 4 We're going to Vermont today. We will ski Vermont tomorrow, and the next day. This will be our 4th trip of the year. Very good chance this is it for the ski season on the east coast. But you never know. We originally planned to leave this morning and ski Stratton on the way...

Lots of good stuff in there. Some of if very specific to many of us. But also I think a lot of that goes to any generation. I do think that we have this very specific perspective as having grown up fully WITHOUT and then WITH technology we have today is very interesting. I mean, I owned...

Yes but we need to be more specific. Town and then what specific place?

Oh btw not Lexington. Hebron. Legit across the river.

Really? I mean the day after I quit I interviewed with her boss. Then we had a 3-hour mock workshop & interview the next week. Following Monday I met the CIO and by Friday had an offer letter. Were you expecting hookers & blow?

Well I gave the audience a clue in the last sentence.

The End of Unemployment And it ended today. Exactly 3 weeks later. Yeah it's odd that it ended on a Wednesday and started on a Thursday but why do we need to end & start things on Fridays & Mondays? The reason my non-compete is unimportant is because I've left the partner/consulting space and...

The Unexamined Life "The unexamined life is not worth living." -Socrates...allegedly. If you look at that quote on Wikipedia, that brings you down quite the rabbit hole. I'm absolutely sure you could bend that quote in some way to promote colonoscopies, but I just don't have that in me today...

I recently read an approach where a guy left a toxic environment and left a review of working there and said it was great, then listed a really high salary. Apparently this caused an issue as everyone working there subsequently felt they were underpaid.

Occasionally you will see a workout like this: Ride for 3 hours at L2/L3 pace Every 15 minutes do a 30-60 second all out sprint Go home and rest Many people think the 30-60 second sprint is what the target is. Every coach will tell you the whole point if this is to get you out there for 3...

At your stage of biking development you're going to get the most gains from a) riding as much as you can and b) riding a lot of SST. One of the biggest problems I have seen over the years is newer riders trying to jump in the training game and going right to VO2max intervals. You need a...

Everything is all the same. You just need to figure out what works best for you.

Immaterial. More details when new job happens!

Job Update I quit. You can read about the saga a bit on my blogs, day 1, day 2, day 3, and day 4. I know that's a lot of reading so I will recap it as such: The CEO of the company was a dickhead with a massive ego and treated people poorly. So I woke up in Vermont the Monday of the snowstorm...

Well you should certainly take the side trip and see the actual Lake Louise after skiing at Lake Louise. I suppose that's a given. Bonus is that you'll likely see magpies there. To put that in GenX terms: Heckle & Jeckle birds (or close enough). The actual downtown of Banff is pretty cool. I...
