Cranking away at the ol' to-do list over here in the Firth Fort. Making progress. Feeling better. Crossing shit off. Handing stuff off. All-around good things happening over here.

November has arrived, which means snowboarding season is less than a month away (Powder Mountain, my favorite hang-out, opens Nov. 27). Cannot wait to get on the hill and ride. Last year was my breakout year, where snowboarding goes from being an insanely painful way of making yourself sorer than you've ever been, to being effortless and thrilling. I hope my work schedule allows for us to hit the hill a lot this winter, because I'm jonesing so bad I can hardly think about anything else.

No big news. No big insights. Just trying to master the small things and keep my anti-depression plan simple. So far, it's going well. I miss a day here or there, but the momentum is good and I'm trying not to beat myself up over the small things. Just keep your head down, shut up and work. That's all you can do.
