Well, we just launched the second webisode for Nimbus Independent. It's a lot shorter than the first one, but still pretty good quality. Launching this episode was not as smooth as the last. Actually now that I think about it, neither have been that smooth.

You know how you have certain projects that just never seem to get totally completed? I have a couple of those going on right now. Need to finish the Investment Prospectus and Biz Plan for Spacecraft, been hammering on BNQT to finish the Nimbus site. Then I have to get going on the film tour and organizing the Poor Boyz Production business. Better to be too busy than bored I keep telling myself.

Hopefully I can check some of these off my list once and for all. I need to feel like I'm moving forward and progressing. Just having a bit of an instant gratification issue. I want it all done and to happen now. I need to clone myself four of five times. Anybody know of a good place to clone yourself?

So I'm going to just get to it. The following is the latest webisode from Nimbus. It's best to go to our website and download the HD version. Or just go to the website to watch a larger streamed version. Still having embedding issues, so our media player may cut off some of the video content. Guess I better get back to work then.

It's getting hard to stay positive these days. The media is hammering us with "crisis" after "meltdown", after "tragedy", after "scandal" and so much crime reporting that is seems like we live in a lawless country. But life is getting a little harder and some of my friends have lost their jobs. But I do have hope in our new President.

I worry about my friends and family and am worrying a little bit about my self these days. I have been working really, really hard lately and sometimes question whether it will pay off. I like working hard but sometimes I wonder how much personal life I'm sacrificing. I just wish I could see into the future, will this pay off. Should I zig, zag or stay the course?

I think why I love skiing and being in the mountains so much is that all the stress and grind just fades away. It had been just over a month since the last time I had gone skiing. A personal record for me, as I can't recall the last time I've gone so long during a winter season without going to the mountains. It's my release, it balances me out.

I went up to Crystal and had the best day. It was blue sky, fresh groomers and boot deep powder in South backcountry. I went up with my roommate Mark and friend Jane. We got up early and were in the parking lot before 9 am. The conditions and the view couldn't have been better. You could see Baker, Adams, Hood, Helens, and big ol' Rainier.

I was at peace for the day. I also hiked the backcountry three times and tired myself out. Took the fight out of the dawg one could say. Exercise is so good for the mind, I need to get back to it on a regular basis.

There's only a month and a half left of the season and I am still too busy to enjoy it like I used to. But I'm going to get back on track, skiing at least every weekend. It's too important to my overall mental health. Here's a shot of Jane traversing out of the North Backcountry. North wasn't nearly as good as South. I kind of enjoy the traversing although it's not a favorable for snowboarders.

Well, now it's back to more work than I can get done, stress and worrying about the economy.
