A few years ago, I decided I wanted to drastically reduce my non work screen time. I’ve never been active on social media so it was mainly here and other mindless scrolling. I’ve always been present with my kids but I’m more present in daily life now. Life is busy but good; spent 2 weeks traveling this summer and now looking forward to ski season with the kids. Time really flies so trying to enjoy the moments.

I’m on a call for the next few hours so may answer some questions but otherwise plan on staying away. Hope my xoxo friends are doing well!

what have you found yourself spending your "extra" time doing, in lieu of doom-scrolling/poasting?

Im sure as a parent you know there’s not too much extra time but the time I do have that I wasted before, I mainly read books and I started playing piano again. It’s also neat to re-learn and re-read things with my kids. I go through phases of more exercise and not but average 3-4 days a week. Now that my joints and everything else are hurting more, trying to do more yoga and working on my flexibility and core strength has been a challenge. My brain has severely atrophied over the last few decades and trying to prevent my body from doing so. I try not to watch too much tv although sometimes you do want to zone out.

Also, how are you and your family?

You're sucha in inspiration to me.

I need to work on the health side, the vision side, the income side, the budgeting side, the spiritual side, and the parenting side.

Every time I place a krogers order, im wondering if you’re clipping the same coupons. They’re giving away free jars of PB right now.

$8-9m? $6-7m liquid. My retirement target moved from $10 to $15m (or $10m liquid $5m in RE).

I love my azn bros.

I assume CSLG’s poasting has become schtick at this point. He’s also lat like 10x the scale he was when we met so his role has totally changed. I’m not sure if his motivations in life has changed since I’m not sure he’s actually retiring but I believe he is genuinely happy and is a family dude.

Would you ever return to ASIA?

Not your favorite spots, but the spots that serious LA skiers actually tend to go to.

Also, repeat the question, but for non-serious LA skiers.

I fairly regularly go to Park City and chit-chat with a lot of (White) skiers from LA / SoCal. I've never run into a non-White skier from LA / SoCal.

So I'm curious whether, (1) Non-Whites have taken over the CR LA Ski areas and the ones who go to Park City are simply avoiding all of the non-Whites or (2) Non-Whites are simply to lazy to put in the effort to get to Park City, or (3) Non-Whites don't feel comfortable in Park City because it is too White.

It’s not convenient to go from LA to Utah because everything is outside SLC and requires a 45 min-hr drive at least. Overall it takes about 5 hrs btwn airport and rental car when you can easily drive to mammoth.

We prefer Alta/snowbird and smaller resorts like Brighton to park city. It’s inconvenient to navigate btwn park city and canyons. I have no idea if Utah attracts fewer azn visitors in general, but azns tend to be boarders and Utah has higher proportion of skiiers. I think I see more Azns in general in Colorado resorts and obviously all over Tahoe/mammoth. They’re all boarders blocking everyone eating azn snacks lol. My son is going to work more on boarding this season. My daughter says she’s going to do a black on skis this season. I’m proud of them both.

We spent a few days in Murren, which has all of two restaurants outside hotels and one was Chinese run by a guy from Singapore and it was more than decent. Suspect plenty of skiers come from Asia.

Regarding "Park City" -- this opinion pisses off SLC-fags -- I use the term Park City to not only include Park City + Canyons (now combined), but also Deer Valley (literally abuts PCM) and, to the true consternation of SLC-Fags, Brighton / Solitude and Alta / Snowbird.

Brighton / Solitude is literally less than 1.5 miles from PCM and Alta is only like 3.5 miles from PCM.

I'm not saying I'm right, especially since the drive between bases is so long, but it's annoying as fuck to have to specify 6 different mountains you're hitting on a 3-4 ski-trip -- when you're not skiing outside of a 6-7 mile radius.

Are there any times I can go to Mammoth and not have to deal with (no offence) annoying Asian snowboarders spending 95% of their day sitting down in the middle of runs chit chatting or snacking or whatever?
