I’ve always loved Moab. Such fun things to do there. From camping to climbing Wall Street to jeeping to mountain biking to motorcycling.

Okay, I admit, motorcycling is the only reason I go there anymore. It’s SO fun that it’s hard to justify taking time out for all the other great options.

Flying up steep hills at 30-40 mph, jumping bumps, dropping off ledges, riding wheelies, and feeling the powerful surge forward with just a twist of the wrist is hard to compare to pedaling slowly up endless ridges in first gear, sweating, breathing hard, then taking the downhills carefully and feeling every bump; even though the workout is nice.

I wouldn’t mind camping (since I can’t ride all night anyway) but my riding buddies are mostly wimps who need hotels, soft beds, hot showers, etc. Continue Reading »

I may have said this a time or two already, but I LOVE autumn! This year, I hear it’s one of the warmest on record. I want to enjoy all I can before it’s gone and the cold sets in for months and months.

When my brain can’t take any more grading or programming, I take a short hike up a nearby trail to relax. Today, I stood in the back yard and watched yellow leaves fall 80′ from my tall trees while on the phone. Last Thursday afternoon, I kayaked a mile or so out on Utah Lake.

The weather was perfectly comfortable, the water calm and glassy, and the company good. I went with an old friend with two boats. She’s smart, insightful, kind, speaks several languages, has lived interesting places around the world, my dad and step mom adore her, and my dad even threatened to cut me out of his will if I didn’t go out with her. Which, I must add, was not why I went, but it’s funny and worth mentioning. Continue Reading »

The weather has been perfect again. Warm and sunny. Better use it up while it lasts! This afternoon was a perfect chance to take advantage of living right up against such a beautiful mountain as Timpanogos.

CJ, Curtis and I hopped on our bikes and spent the afternoon riding the Ridge, Tibble Fork, Mill Hollow, Little Deer Creek & Horse Flats Trails from the Alpine Loop summit. Continue Reading »

I took a few steps closer to a new career path, met a dozen new people, and now exciting opportunities are coming at me from all directions.

I like it!

The first step was toward sales for ZYTO Corp, where I used to be the VP of Training and Customer Success. That’s the job I left to sail 2,500 miles from Aruba to Acapulco last year. They have very exciting technologies that could change the face of health care in significant ways.

At a sales summit last week/weekend, I met other reps and we’re discussing various cooperative efforts. Not only could they be rewarding, but the people are sharp and good and I really enjoy working with people like that.

I also got hired to help some new users with additional software training, which lead to my energy work skills being added as one of the possible referral options that clinic tests for to send clients who would benefit from it. Continue Reading »
