Firepit

I can sit here and stew over what to write.  I can mull over and over in my head what I've learned, what would be relevant and what has actual meaning to others.  This evening, however, for me, it's the firepit an amazing dinner, a conversation with a buddy, a few great beers and some ski and mountain bike films.

I believe I could quantify this evening in the ultimate relaxation category.  That's right, here at home, no cabin, no mountains and no gently falling snow.  Right here at the house, in the midst of normalcy.  It truly can be done.  Granted, the firepit, food, beer, etc. did help.

It's nice to know that there is and can be another world right outside the backdoor.  I believe I've said this before, but, the best investment that I've ever made is my firepit.  There's just nothing quite like the dancing of a fire.  The quiet sway and flicker tend to lull you into relaxation and take you away to a different place.

Eric and I are enjoying our first bottle of Pyramid Breweries, Discord, their attempt at a Dark IPA.  Now, I'm a big, bold flavor type of person, but this is very drinkable.  It has that subtle dark IPA taste, a little hoppy and a great firepit drinker.

The simple life is good.  Step outside your backdoor, away from the clutter, enjoy the firepit.

Cheers
