I flew out to Breckenridge to ski from Thursday night, January 13th and just came back a couple hours ago. This is my third time on this great ski trip organized by VPS Dallas every year for the last few years. I finally graduated from the bunny slope, went on to the green slope, got pretty comfortable and even got one run on the blue slope on peak 8 this year. First year I just didn't learn how to deal with high altitude sickness and so didn't even learn to ski. Second year, I learn how to ski and got comfortable with the bunny slope. My friends were encouraging me to head for the green slope but I was too chicken. Thank God for the great progress this year! Meeting some new friends: Chi, Tanya, My Lac, Kevin & Michelle, Thanh & Huyen, Vuong & Van ... as well as reconnecting with old friends.

I am getting ready to head out to Washington DC for the 2005 Presidential Inauguration early tomorrow morning.
