16.3 be like what?? A lovely little 7 minute AMRAP that made me completely forget about all of the insanity and chaos in my life right now, and focus just on getting back to the barbell from the pull-up bar. It was a welcome 7 minutes of clarity, and zoning out the rest of the world ... and then, this happened!! 😍 @ntedino this may be my new favorite photo!! ❤️❤️❤️ @crossfit203 #crossfit #girlswhocrossfit #crossfitopen2016 #163 #sixteenpointthree (at CrossFit 203)

My ski ensemble consists of my favorite long sleeve shirt that I have had since the early '90s when I first discovered The Grateful Dead ... which just compliments the belt on my ski pants, and some swag on my brain bucket. Usually get quite a few compliments as I chill out to Sugar Magnolia or Not Fade Away #skitheeast #sbdiscover #skiitifyoucan #skivt #dancingbears #deadhead #tgd (at Sugarbush Resort)

Received very sad news today that Jack Lonsdale, local Sugarbush legend, passed away this week. One of the most amicable and downright nicest gentleman I have ever met ... I could easily spend hours chatting with him while he tended bar at Chez Henri. My Côtes du Rhône just won't be the same without you at the white marble bar. I will miss your smile and your sense of humor, which you're proudly showing here giving Henri a set of "bunny ears" ... rest in peace, my friend ... hoping you and Stein Eriksen are getting some good runs in together!! #sugarbush #madriverglen #madrivervalley #sbcommunity (at Chez Henri)

I took this picture of the flag on Town Hall in Ridgefield CT on Memorial Day in 2012 ... still one of my favorites. To those who have paid the Ultimate Sacrifice for our freedom, I thank you today, and every day.

I recall a while back reading some literature on running ... "Running for Dummies" perhaps it was. Would make sense, because that's around my sloth-like speed. Anyhoot, it had said something about one of the overall benefits of running was that it was a rather inexpensive sport to partake in. Should I ever meet whomever penned that opinion, it would give me great pleasure to force feed said author my recent receipt at one of the local running shops. Good running shoes aren't cheap, nor are the corrective inserts for my horribly flat feet. I hope that my nice little investment pays off in the form of eradicating my foot, ankle, calf, and knee pain. #justkeeprunning #5ktraining #runnersworld #runningproblems #saucony #superfeet

Insane ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ promo: ANA Dreamliner jet painted like R2-D2

“Star Wars” fans and aviation geeks, hold on to your butts.

I’m not holding my breath for the new Star Wars movies (fool me once, etc.), but this is REALLY AWESOME.

Three dog day ... First time trying to walk them all at once. I will now spend the next 20 minutes untangling the giant knot that has become of three leashes. Left to right - Mayhem (11 weeks) Mischief (1 year 3 months) and Domino (14 years). #dogs #dogsofinstagram #pets #puppy #dally #dalclub #dalmatian #dalmatiannation #dalmatianproblems #dalmatianspotlight #dalmatiansofinstagram #dalmatians_of_instagram #spottydog #spotteddog #firedog
