BoardingThere are few things I enjoy more than snowboarding and for the last 2 weekends I've had back-to-back weekends at my friend's place in Sugarbush (Warren, VT). Last weekend it was just the boys, 10 of us in all, with part of the weekend dedicated…

EditorialPeople who know me well... maybe even not so well... know I'm somewhat of a full-blown germaphobe. It's not mud or dirt that bothers me. I've always been 'one' with the animals. Forever the gentleman, I've never felt that girls had the cooties.
