Welcome to the Chinese Year of the Tiger! Yes, the Chinese New Year started February 1st and celebrations culminate with the Lantern Festival on February 15th. People born in the year of the Tiger (1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, etc.) are often considered to be courageous and active people who love a good challenge and an adventurous life.
2022 NSC Ski Week to Steamboat, CO
Our ski-week was filled with sunshine and blue skies for the whole week and no fresh powder. I must be a jinx because this is my third time to Steamboat and that elusive champagne powder was nowhere on the mountain for me. However, everyone had a great time schussing down the slopes, congregating for lunch, and savoring the cuisine that Steamboat had to offer. The Farewell Dinner at the Ore House provided us with excellent service and outstanding appetizers and entrees. Perhaps the only downer of the week was when all the 49er fans witnessed the breakdown and collapse of their favorite team attempting to gain a foothold into Superbowl LVI. Those Niner Rally Towels handed out by United Airlines at SFO turned into Crying Towels. As a sixth-seed for the playoffs, the Niners did well this year. Well, there’s always next year.
