I am a fairly timid mountain biker, and in town I enjoy the poop loop and some parts of Forest Hill park (I'm not ashamed to walk whatever freaks me out). I've had some of my best days on the greens and blues on the Swift Creek trails at Pocahontas state park. I don't have the nerve to try North Bank or Buttermilk pretty much ever, and I'm okay with that.

If you're feeling super-adventurous, Snowshoe has some fun trails in the offseason, but that is neither close nor cheap nor accessible right now. Maybe something to work towards!

I absolutely did and am probably going to re-watch it this weekend! I definitely want a cheeseburger something fierce now, though.

I'm watching this movie right now before I go into work and enjoying it immensely.

Pleasantly warm from gingerbread stouts, watching football until it's time to make a vat of pasta and find a dumb holiday movie to fall asleep to. My husband and I are on our own this year due to silly work schedules, and while we miss our collective family chaos, the quiet celebration is kind of nice too.

Settling in to watch Glass Onion and enjoying some brandy-fied eggnog. Grateful to have power and heat this fine evening.

We early morning runners already have to deal with diminished mental capacity; why would you take away the only thing we have to look forward to at this time of year? Harumph.

Seconding Akida, I meant to post this last time we had this thread but I had some of the most incredible tuna I've ever had in my life in their Robinson Roll. I was nervous about the eel but it was good, too - but like two weeks later I'm still thinking about that spicy tuna.

...it made you chortle with joy, right?
