Head for the hills ... During the Thanksgiving holiday stretch, we got some snow. Not much, just a dusting. But, being from Florida, the kids and I were running around the yard as if marshmallows were raining from the heavens. Dogs, too, though they seemed more confused than excited by this fluffy precipitation. While I'm not too excited about the logistics of a snowy winter — I'm pretty sure we own the only two-wheel drive Sienna in Colorado! — I'm probably way too excited about jumping on a pair of skis.

Read More Red Hawks wrap up season with semifinal game The unfortunate part of a high school football season concluding before a state championship game is that no one battles for third place. But make no mistake, there is a definitive No. 3 team in Class 4A football in Colorado. It's not where the Montrose Red Hawks wanted to be at season's end, but considering the three losses they took this year all came against the two teams playing for the state title, it's not a bold claim.
