So now with the excessive drought we are all looking for a little rain to relieve the pain…. Today was not one of those days! It rained a couple of times this morning, but never terrible. So we went out to practice around 2:30 and went up in the lifts. Mind you I am 40 [...]

An Ending and a Beginning

Dubai Architecture: Ski Dubai
So when you think of Dubai (assuming you know where it is), you think Desert. You think of a city spread out over a sandy, dusty, hot and barren land. One thing you do not think of is a Ski Resort covered in snow year round with an average temperature of 28 degrees! However that [...]

If you see her as rotating clockwise you are Right Brained, if you see her as rotating anti-clockwise you are left brained.
Apparently the majority of people see her rotating anti-clockwise— And if you [...]
