Pacific Time
It’s that time of year again. The Gotham Gal and I are spending the rest of the winter out west.
Blog posts will start coming in around 6am PT/9am ET.
We plan to spend this winter in Utah (where I am now), LA, and I will also be in the Bay Area a fair bit.
I find this time of year to be particularly invigorating for me.
Getting out in the fresh air and skiing, biking, and that sort of thing always gets me going.
But it’s mostly about reducing the back to back to back meeting grind that my work day in NYC has become and replacing it with reading, writing, thinking, and dreaming that I find so helpful.
The Gotham Gal and I are going to go out and ski the 16″ of new powder that we have gotten in the past 48 hours this morning and then go see some great indie films this afternoon.
Should be a great Sunday.

Variety is the spice of life. Breaking the routine is the best thing anyone who feels they are in rut should be doing.
Does 6 months make a rut?
not in my book.
Only if you feel it.
Not sure where this “quote” came from, but it comes to mind:Q: what’s the difference between a rut and a grave?A: the depth
True.
Enjoy Fred.There is little that offers perspective in life like being out on your skis at 10k feet or so with family and sucking in nature’s generous bounty.This is in Vail’s back bowls on Friday with me the spec on the right. https://uploads.disquscdn.c…En route home now.
Awesome. See my comment above. How about an AVC community ski trip?
Would be great to have a coffee in Venice!
Terrific Time.Here it’s sludge mud.The American Dream.
Enjoy the change in routine!
Fred, post photos of the pow!! I expect Jupiter Bowl, 99/Red Pine, and Murdock are all on the list.Serious question — who is up for an AVC community ski/board trip next year? Maybe someplace central like Colorado?
Not indies but did enjoy & Billboards & Phantom Threads this week
So jealous of your Sunday plans 🙂
That sounds like a great pattern – I’m so tempted to do the reverse to my own schedule and spend much more of the year in NYC. It’s such an incredible city.
Just desserts.
Dry wit.

Ha, nice. Been to places like that, except not with such a good-looking (palm?) umbrella. Rock on.
Headed out to Yelapa for 10 days of the same in February. Can’t wait!

Have fun in the powder. We are in the Bay Area the entire month of February this year.
Enjoy the powder. Hope to see you all a few times if we are lucky in SF or LA!
Enjoy the time! Would love to host a meetup in SF!
Enjoy Fred, 16″ can only mean one thing: Alta! Enjoy the deep snow. Come up to ski Snowbasin in early February and I can be your guide. Hit me up.
Skied Snowbasin for the first time this year and was really pleasantly surprised. I do about a week in Alta every year. Snowbird was terrible around Christmas time, but Snowbasin was good! Totally underrated spot.
Cavallo Point http://www.cavallopoint.com/ in SF was sublime this morning. If you’ve never been, its a great place for Sunday brunch with a view of the bridge and bay when you are out this way.
I’ll be in LA next week. Let’s grab lunch.
That sounds perfect. I have come to understand that downtime is actually as productive and in some cases way more productive than “the grind”. I will be doing the “full unplug” in two weeks. I won’t be so dramatic as to throw my phone in the Andaman sea, but I *will* be uninstalling work email and carrying only my Kindle instead of my phone to the beach.
That’s pretty excellent!People live lives. Companies create products. (That’s our motto anyway.)Go out and live!
If you get up to Sonoma, my buddy just opened William Cofield Cheesemakers at the Barlow in Sebastopol. Let me know and I’ll arrange a tour. (Now featured at French Laundry)
