Then, as we had a number of winter storms roll through, the mountains had loads of snow, and I bought a new pair of ski boots to reclaim the slopes as my own. Happy to say that after 5 years off, it only took a little while to regain moderate form. I was able to get up to the slopes twice in February; would have liked it to be more, but time and money did not allow. Hey, there is always next year! Also, we took a quck jaunt up to see the Arabian Horse show as well as the Prada del Sol Parade.
March brought NASCAR weekend at PIR, and spring training for the Royals. I got to see 5 games this year, and it was nice to hang in the sunshine, quaff a brew, and watch the Royals play. Sundays in March also provided for some good, free music at the Sunday A'fair in downtown Scottsdale, and as usual, did not disappoint with it's diverse acts. That, along with several art fairs, and a trip to Palm Springs to watch the tennis tourney for my first time ever made a hectic, but great lead into spring.
