My wife's job at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center involves a lot of teaching and giving a lot of talks. (Mandatory football content: She had linebacker Joe Battaglia shadow her last week for a class.) Seems as if she's always working on a PowerPoint presentation. (Being a diehard Mac person, I prefer Keynote, but I digress ...)
Anyway, my wife always slips a slide or two from our vacations into the presentations to break up the monotony. Now, I'm not about to say there's monotony here on the Green Alert blog, but I kind of like the idea of tossing something in from time to time to see if you are paying attention.
So ... here's a picture from our 7,500-mile trip this summer. This was taken at White Sands National Monument in New Mexico. It wasn't on our original itinerary but we called an audible and were glad we did. It's an amazing place. This shot shows my son with the saucer we rented at park headquarters so the kids could sled down the sand dunes. Unfortunately, the picture flattens the hill were were standing on. It took quite a climb to get up it. The surprising thing was that while the temperature was challenging 100 degrees, the "sand" wasn't at all hot. By the way, that's our trust VW camper in the background. You'll see it at practices this fall when it becomes my mobile press headquarters ;-)
Tomorrow on the Green Alert premium site: the Colgate season preview. On tap for Saturday: a surprise!
