Jane is: Just back from running for an hour in State College, Pa.


She’s relaxing by: Listening to “Camelot” on her iPod: It’s May! It’s May! The lusty month of May!


She’s scarfing down: 16 oz. of water and raw honey on 7-grain toast.

She’s excited about: Riding in the rain yesterday on the Lower Trail in Huntingdon County.

Chewing nearby is: Devo. He’s eating the laundry out of the hamper.

Posted by Jane on 02/09 at 07:54 PM

Jane is:  Cross Country Skiing at Whitegrass near Davis, West Virginia

She’s exclaiming:  I swan! This place has already had 178” of snow this season!

She’s tucking in to:  Tofu and Cashews as only Whitegrass can serve it up – in a cozy spot with good company, live music, and a place for Devo right under the table.

She’s humming: “Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye.”

She’s enamored with: Oxygen debt. Cross Country skiing is tough!

Skiing in Turkey was fabu, but Devo was itching for some alfalfa, so we headed south to summer. I’m surfing the Ally at Currumbin this week on Australia’s Gold Coast. Killer right hand pointbreaks!

Posted by Jane on 01/14 at 07:35 PM

Jane is: Currently heli-skiing in Erzurum, Turkey with her ladies literary society.


She’s relaxing by: Drinking potent black tea and resting her feet on an actual Ottoman.


She’s absorbing: A lecture on the Turkish poets’ proclivity for the quatrain and not the couplet. 


She’s confused: Because the Turkish poets’ motto is a couplet: Couplets are so yesterday / The quatrain’s now the only way


At her feet is: Her beloved alpine goat, Devo       

She’s anticipating: The deep-powder caches she’ll be skiing before lunchtime.
