Another day in paradise… perfect day for an x-c tour!

The sports industry loves to categorize female athletes into either âhotâ or âskilled.â Every once in a while, they hit a marketing jackpot of both in one athlete, which they drunkenly fall…

December 13, 1966. Lady Bird Johnson records in her diary:

“Sometime during the morning I became aware snow was falling. It is the most magical experience. I love it.I shall know I am really getting old when my heard doesn’t beat a little faster and a smile naturally break out when it starts snowing.”

I hope the day never comes where my heart doesn't beat faster or I don't break out in a smile when it is snowing... regardless of my age.

By: Erica Kelleher Most 16 year olds have a lot to look forward to – getting their Driver’s License, going to prom, and spending tons of time with their friends. However, Aaron Blunck, a 16 year old from Crested Butte has much more to look forward to…. competing in the X Games finals tonight....

On Friday, we’ll be airing a very special episode of Sesame Street.

A hurricane has swept through Sesame Street and everyone is working together to clean up the neighborhood. When Big Bird checks on his home, he is heartbroken to find that the storm has destroyed his nest. Big Bird’s friends and neighbors gather to show their support and let him know they can fix his home, but it will take time. While everyone on Sesame Street spends the next few days cleaning up and making repairs, Big Bird still has moments where he is sad, angry, and confused. His friends help him cope with his emotions by talking about what happened, drawing pictures together, and giving him lots of hugs. They also comfort Big Bird by offering him temporary places he can eat, sleep, and play. Big Bird remembers all the good times he had at his nest and realizes that once it is rebuilt, there are more good times and memories to come. Finally the day has come where most of the repairs to Big Bird’s home are done and his nest is complete. As he is about to try it out, though, the city nest inspector says it not safe, yet, because the mud isn’t dry. Big Bird is sad that he has to wait another day, but Snuffy comes to the rescue and blows the nest dry and he passes the test! Big Bird thanks everyone for being his friend and helping to rebuild his nest and his home.

Please check your local listings to see what time the episode will air on PBS.
