September is almost here and we are once again starting to think about Friday running adventures in the woods around Bolton. I have heard from several people already-- and it sounds like there is interest to get going soon.

I will post the schedule as soon as possible.

Update: There is a new St. Lawrence Alumni running website. It's still young, but should be a great site for SLU running information. www.run4stlawrence.com

EGYPT

This entry really has nothing to do with running and I am about as far away from Pine Street, Burlington as you can get, but on a hot day in NYC 3 weeks ago I crossed town with Elaine (a family friend) first walking, subway, shuttle bus and big bus on the first part of trip to Egypt. Since first arriving in Cairo Friday afternoon 3 weeks ago it's been a world wind of side trips out of the city, day trips in Cairo, meeting lots of new folks and visiting old friends. What that boils down to for me is that I have been busy and finally have some time to post some photos.

Cairo:

Sakkara is a Pyramid burial site south west of Cairo-- we got up early to visit Sakkara before the sun got hot.



Nothing like a a family photo from the Pyramids-- front Beth and Eliane, back John and Liz.


Sunset on the Nile - in celebration of the end of school my Mom's book group enjoyed their last meeting on a Felucca.

Siani-

A long winter

I have not posted on this blog for months and months. Hopefully I will get my act together soon to write more here. But for the time being-- check out www.boltonnordic.wordpress.com This is where I have focused most of my blogging energy.

Thanksgiving in NH

Jake and I had a long drive to NH... but some good fish chowder made it all worth it.

Skiing Pictures.

The snow is still falling--



This is November skiing in New England.



Snow on the tables- this is for real.



It's getting colder.



I skied the last 4 days-- we were able to groom a little and the skiing was really nice over the weekend. There were lots of folks out skiing and it was fun to see ski friends.

SNOW!!!

I left work tonight in the dark and there was a nice layer of snow on my car-- winter is on the way. Yahoo.

The Eye on the Sky says:
Tonight: "Accumulation: A trace to 2 inches for the broader valleys, 1-3" for the Dacks, and 3-6” for the Northern and Central greens, east to the Whites. Locally higher amounts above 2000 feet. Lows from the upper 20s to the mid 30s. Winds northwest at 10-15 with gusts to 20.

Tomorrow: North of route 2: snow tapering to snow showers. Total accumulation: 1-4” for the broader valleys, 4-9" for the Eastern Townships, Northern Greens, and the Northern Whites, with locally to a foot above 2000 feet."

I'm bringing my skis to work-- because it sounds like rock-skiing tomorrow.
