Today's show opens with a little more discussion over Emily Kohrs and how she is not a representation of someone who would be a jury of my "peers." First, she has no fundamental understanding of how our judicial system operates, nor her role in being part of a Grand Jury. She believes she is the arbiter of what happened and whatever she says, goes. But, it's worse than that. Her narcissism, as quoted in a piece by the Atlanta Journal Constitution proves she believes she is the most important person in the nation. Add to it, she is a practicing witch, shares spells, incantations and others associated elements on her Pinterest page. Whatever else she is, she is NOT a peer of mine. In the meantime, an expert witness who has been called to testify in numerous cases of contamination and ecological disasters was asked about the "controlled burn" officials did of the chemicals leaking out of the derailed cars. He educates us all on the difference between a controlled burn and an uncontrolled, and what happened in East Palestine was uncontrolled. Plus, he adds, if you smell something in the air, you've already been exposed. Next, Pete is still draggin', even after he finally was forced to visit East Palestine. He refuses to talk to the new media or independent members of the press. His Press Secretary refused to be on camera or recorded before she would even consider answering questions. Remember when Alfred E. Newman said there are people who go to work and people who use tragedies for photo-ops. Well, ol' Mayor Pete made sure to put on an orange reflective vest, white hard hat and clear goggles to make sure it looks like he's doing the work of the people. This leads to information dropped by Governor Kristi Noem (R-SD) related to the Chinese surveillance balloon. Even though states have a level of autonomy per our US Constitution, she found out the Pentagon and the White House had reached out and been in contact with the National Guard in her state without even notifying her. This is a terrible overreach of the Federal government. It goes to show they no longer recognize the U.S. Constitution and are well on their way to implementing an Authoritarian regime. They are not even trying to hide it anymore. Take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

Today is the two year anniversary of the passing of Rush Limbaugh. Since it falls on a Friday where I normally thank my followers, I open with a thank you to the radio broadcaster who was a major influence on me. He may be gone, but Rush is not forgotten. Our first topic today addresses what is both an insensitive and imbecilic comment from Mayor Pete. Our Transportation Secretary has dismissed the New Palestine, Ohio as being taken really too far out of context given we have over 1,000 train derailments annually. Talk about someone without a clue in his Alfred E. Newman head. Not only is he dismissing the ecological disaster unique to this incident, but also admitting he hasn't done anything to prevent transportation disasters in the two years he's been in his position. On top of that, Pete Buttigieg and President Biden have decided the area affected does not qualify for FEMA to declare it a disaster area. They believe the air and water are fine, yet videos on social media show just how polluted the waterways are in the affected area. Yet, this same regime, telling people a noxious cloud of poison gasses and toxic runoffs in the water is totally fine, but God forbid you keep your gas stove in your home. Think that's just a right-wing conspiracy? Tell that to Biden Consumer Product Safety Commissioner Richard Trumka, Jr., who is calling for a ban on gas stoves. Also in the news, thanks to NBC, did you know that natural immunity acquired from a Covid infection is as protective as vaccination against severe illness and death? Imagine that! I am old enough to remember when saying that was considered blasphemy against Science Guy, the NIH, the CDC and everyone else in the dictatorial worldview of a one-size fits all solution that does more harm and doesn't work. Isn't it great being so far ahead of everyone else. Do you think we will get an apology from all of the media who got it wrong for so long? Finally, we have to get to a couple of more humorous and/or ridiculous stories. We first address the ultra ageist and insensitive comments about women are in the prime when they are in their 20s or 30s, maybe 40s. Having the correct demographics and political leanings can be a pretty impressive shield, because you know a conservative host would have been burned at the stake. Nikki Haley was asked about it and her response is golden. And, in closing, it seems the Biden regime has wasted millions of dollars in shooting down balloons from various weather and science research clubs. Yes, our Commander-in-Chief, to show how tough he is against our enemies, scrambled jets and shot down balloons belonging to hobby clubs. This is what happens when we put people in charge based on irrelevant descriptors, yet without any qualification whatsoever.

15 min. Maureen and Pierre open up the podcast with a discussion about 'love.' Somewhere in this podcast Barry White, Eddie Murphy, the Little Rascals, Alfred E. Newman, and Forrest Gump make appearances. More to point: Amir Levine and Rachel Heller's book: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find - and Keep - Love is discussed. Popular self-help title, but real research from a Columbia University professor, Amir Levine, and co-author, Rachel Heller. Basically, great science behind a goofy title. Very accessible book propounding powerful math around adult dating probabilities given personality types around adult attachment theory. If you are looking for love as an older adult, even someone moving towards the 30 year mark, consult this book and consider its thesis. This was recorded around Valentine's Day. Maureen and Pierre consider all the rituals that our society has around loving another, and how few rituals our society has around going within to learn, honor and love oneself. Something to think about next time you are in See's chocolates. Just sayin.

Steve DeBerg spent more than 20 years around professional football. Not bad for an undrafted free agent who didn't think he would ever play in the NFL. He laid the groundwork for three future Hall of Fame quarterbacks, always with an Alfred E. Newman “What, Me Worry?” approach. He joins us to talk about some of his favorite memories with the eight different teams he played for, including shattering his finger in a game and coming back to play later in the game.

The Storm Skiing Podcast #15 | Download this episode on iTunes, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, Spotify, and Pocket Casts | Read the full overview at skiing.substack.com.Who: Matt Lillard, General Manager of Mad River Glen, VermontWelcome to Mad River Glen. The mountain welcomes you bit by bit, rewarding exploration.Why I interviewed him: Because as the most invincibly independent mountain in the Northeast, Mad River Glen has a vital and underappreciated task: preserving skiing as skiing is no longer allowed to be, but as it always will be here, in this last and special place. No, you will not find the beartrap bindings or hatless crew-cut Austrians in knit sweaters of yore. Yes, you will find some (limited) snowmaking and probably more grooming than you’re expecting. But you will also find those things that are quintessential MRG: the single chair rising 2,000 dead vertical feet to the summit, the tangled Mordor of Paradise, the absence of snowboards, and the general sense of time-warp displacement interrupted only by the 102-centimeter-underfoot sticks you’re most likely rocking. If that sounds easy to pull off, then explain why every ski area in Vermont once looked like this and now they all look like a game of high-speed Chutes & Ladders. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, and I can happily lap a high-speed lift all day long, but saying, “Yes, we’re going to have a single chair forever,” and then sticking to that by replacing the single chair with a new freaking single chair when you can’t Elmer’s the old one together anymore, is not such an easy feat in our hey-let’s-tear-down-this-25-year-old-sports-stadium-and-build-a-new-sports-stadium disposable society. And yet, Mad River Glen is not some deteriorating relic; the mountain has simply determined that updating does not always have to mean high-speed detachable lifts with cupholders and bottle service. It can mean a few more snowguns and a newer, better, but equal-capacity lift. I wanted to talk to the caretaker-in-chief to see how MRG was managing that constant balance of living museum and ever-improving experience.The single chair mid-station.What we talked about: The Covid-19 shutdown on March 15 and how fast the whole thing accelerated; how the mountain safely delivered their passholders one last ski day while preventing a flood of traffic after nearby Stowe and Sugarbush shut down; why they shut down uphill skiing several weeks later; why it’s so hard to limit the mountain to “locals only”; how the mountain helped out its employees after the early end to the season; the history and structure of the Mad River Glen co-op; why the MRG co-op has succeeded where so many similar efforts have failed; some background on the failed Magic Mountain co-op attempt; whether the co-op model could work as a template for independent mountains looking for a fair fight in a Megasaurus pass world; the bizarre reality but ultimate success of hosting this year’s annual co-op board meeting online; why MRG season pass sales are surging even as the economy craters and the Ikon and Epic passes amp up their Northeast offerings; what’s driving revenue north at the mountain in general; why offering discounted passes for people in their twenties is smart business; the mountains people are migrating from in favor of MRG passes; the mountain’s plan to update its season pass offerings with some kind of refund or deferral policy; whether MRG is considering joining the Indy Pass or Freedom Pass; the $3.50 madhouse of Roll Back The Clock Day; how the mountain recorded a 13.5 percent jump in 2019-20 skier visits with 48 fewer operating days than the record 2018-19 season; how much the ski area is planning for various social distancing scenarios for the 2020-21 season; what may be different when you show up next season; how closely they’re watching Mt. Baldy and Timberline and Southern Hemisphere skiing to inform next season’s mountain management approach; the origin of the snowboarding ban; the likelihood of the co-op ever welcoming riders onto the mountain and what it would take to make that happen; the three things about Mad River Glen that would take a two-thirds vote by the board to change, and the one that’s most likely to be revisited in the not-unforseeable future; How the mountain is evolving its snowmaking capability in a way that improves the experience without compromising the atmosphere; how MRG is working around its natural water limitations; the history and condition of the ski patrol and ski school building that MRG demolished and is replacing this summer; how they’re updating the Base Box; MRG’s future.Looking down the single chair liftline. Questions I wish I’d asked: Well I had about 50 things I wasn't able to get to, because when you’re talking about a ski area as rich in character and history as Mad River Glen, the correct length of an all-inclusive podcast is basically as much time as exists to have the conversation. Topics that I prepared questions about but didn’t get to include: the birdcage as an evolving après spot, the Stark Mountain Foundation, the recently wrapped Save Our Paradise campaign, the fact that MRG is the only ski area listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the underappreciated truth that it’s actually a hell of a nice family mountain despite its famed rough-and-tumble terrain, the free kids’ pass program (Matt touched on this a bit), the mountain’s after-school programs, its bonhomie and joint college pass with neighboring Sugarbush, and how volunteers contribute labor to the mountain to complement its fundraising and traditional revenue streams. But the thing I really regret not going deep on is the single chair, which is arguably the most iconic chairlift of any kind in the entire country and is so closely knotted to the mountain’s character, history, and identity that it is impossible to separate one from the other. I’ll just have to hit it next time. A bumpy ride below the single chair on a March afternoon.Why I thought that now was a good time for this interview: Because Lillard, who took the head job at MRG in 2017, is new enough to have a fresh perspective but established enough to have a clear view of the direction the ski area should follow. He talks, for example, about pushing the mountain ops crew to start prepping to blow snow when temperatures dip in October, rather than waiting until December to fire up the guns, as per the ski area’s longstanding custom. This shift in mentality probably explains why Mad River Glen clocked its longest season ever in the 2018-19 campaign, despite having a so-so snow year (a strong November and March also helped). Regardless, this change is emblematic of how Lillard is making smart, targeted changes that strengthen the ski experience without compromising the area’s character. He’s a young guy and likely to be running that show for quite some time, so I thought now was a good time to ground ourselves on who’s running Mad River Glen and how he’s approaching its future.Looker’s right off the single chair.Why you should go there: Because this is it, the most distinct and well-defined ski area in the Northeast, if not the entire country. This is a place that knows what it is because it has been that thing for more than 70 years. You will find no identity crisis here. What you will find is a ski area that when you pull into the parking lot you’ll say, “Where’s the ski area?” and you’ll look up at the rough-hewn outline of snow runnels threaded along the flanks of General Stark Mountain and the collection of base buildings bunched at the bottom and the liftlines cut vaguely up the rise and you’ll say, “Oh. That’s pretty cool.” Or you’ll say “screw this” and just drive over to Sugarbush - it depends on what kind of skier you are. But venture up and you’ll find a trail network etched seamlessly down the fall line, a narrow maze of bumps and glades crisscrossing down the mountainside. While the difficulty of the marked black diamonds is somewhat overstated in the common lore, Paradise will give you nightmares if you venture back there before you’re ready for it, and there is plenty of off-the-map rowdy stuff if you know where to go. And a ride on the single chair should be a life goal for any skier – lean back on that thing and try not grinning with a wow-I’m-actually-doing-this sense of arrival. It’s a feeling that I’m telling you never quite wears off. If you are not from the Northeast and you find yourself here in the winter with just one day to ski, don’t even consider going anywhere but Mad River Glen. MRG has some fierce terrain. Pictured here is a small slice of Paradise, the mountain’s marquee run.Brief and pointless opinion on the snowboarding ban that will likely satisfy no one: As a completely objective observer who has no formal ties to the ski area and just dips in every year or two for a bombing run, I think the snowboarding ban is… silly. For me as a skier it doesn’t really factor, but I do ride with snowboarders and it’s inconvenient, when planning the next hunt, to have to count out one of the best pure skier’s mountains in the region from the jump because boards aren’t welcome. But it’s no more than an eye-rolling whatever-it’s-your-mountain-dudes sentiment for me. I also don’t really buy the whole “snowboarders ruin the snow argument,” because while there is the occasional dude-brah bulldozing beautiful pow with his board cranked across the hill like a teenager with a can of spray paint vandalizing a fine art museum, they are far outnumbered by the windshield-wipering two-plankers who grind the piste into an ice rink by 11 a.m. But looking from the drop-the-ban point of view, I do not agree with the oft-expressed-by-social-media-absolutists opinion that the ban is “racist.” Allow me to relate a personal experience to illustrate this point: a few years ago, I was jogging in Florida at some type of sprawling housing development/resort complex. Some way through, I passed a golf course, and, thinking that looked like a pleasant place to run, headed into it. I did this for several days in a row. But on day three or four as I was moving along the paths in the morning sun through the pleasant trails and hillocks and greenery of this oasis, I was verbally confronted by a flock of golf nerds appalled that I would be running through their precious golf course. I responded by telling them to call the golf course police, which they assured me they would promptly do, and then I jogged off. Now, these pleasant folks were not cursing me out because of my race or ethnicity or anything else unchangeable or identifying about me – they were yelling at me because I was an a*****e running on a golf course. Which now that I think about it seems like a stupid thing to do, even though it is honestly about the nicest environment I could imagine for the activity. And just as that golf course decided that its grounds were for one particular sport and not another, Mad River Glen has determined that its slopes are for skis and nothing else. Which, fine. If they decide tomorrow that the only way you can get down the mountain is by sliding on a cardboard cutout of Alfred E. Newman, then they can do that, as long as they don’t decide that only certain types of people can ride the contraption down.The top of the single chair.

Download Podcast Would you like to think like a Problem Solver? Life can be tough, so how do you make the best of things when they don’t work out like you want them too? I suggest that you think like a problem solver. It's one of my goals for sure. I want to be great at solving problems. I understand solving problems is one of the paths for real success in life. It doesn't come natural for me, so I have had to learn from some of the greats. John Wooden “Things Work Out Best For Those Who Make The Best Of How Things Work Out.” "Fix It!" has always been his motto. My husband, Wayne, can fix anything…OK almost anything…but his list of things he can fix is pretty impressive. His family lived in a small rural town in Mississippi. His dad used his GI Bill to buy mules to pull stumps out of the woods so he could sell them to a turpentine plant. When he realized he couldn’t make enough money to take care of his family he became a sharecropper. When Wayne was 9 years old his dad moved his family to Mobile where he found a job recapping tires. They lived in a small house in the projects. His mom and dad worked really hard, but there was no money for extras. The other kids had bikes, but that was a luxury his family couldn’t afford. So he found old damaged bikes and pieces of bikes in people’s trash. He salvaged enough parts to make one whole bike. His desire helped him develop thinking skills that made him an effective problem solver and God honoring employee, husband, dad and neighbor. Solution Minded His challenges fueled a life long process of solution-minded thinking. Wayne is a great problem solver. His pattern of thinking in its simplest form is something like this. What is the problem? No light. What is the root of the problem? The lamp is unplugged. How do I fix the problem? Plug in the lamp. Let’s build on that simple foundation. Mr. Roger’s taught children a very important principle. “When you experience a disaster or something bad happens always look for the helper.” I whole-heartedly agree, especially when you realize the best helper is Precious Holy Spirit. A Good Trigger Instead Problems can trigger a myriad of emotions. I want to encourage you to use your problem to trigger a different response…instead of panicking or becoming overwhelmed-call on God. Let Him be your first call, and then He can be your first responder. He promised He would be with you, so talk to Him first. Ask for help. I’m not suggesting fancy words or long prayers-just honest ones. Prayer gives you access to all God’s resources. I suggest a strategy something like this. Call on God. Quiet your heart. What is the real problem? What are some possible solutions? Decide, “What is the right thing to do?” Follow through. Quiet your heart. Maybe you have a strategy that works for you, but when I feel anxious or overwhelmed I whisper His name…Jesus. Jesus. (Then I slowly and quietly whisper something like this from my heart.)You are the prince of peace. I ask for your peace to flood my heart. Get the facts. What is the real problem? It helps me to grab a piece of paper and write out my thoughts. What are some possible solutions? Access God’s wisdom. Like a seed, His wisdom contains the power to accomplish what needs to be done. Ask God to give you insight, wisdom, and answers. What does God’s Word say about this situation? Who knows about this kind of problem? Can you read their book or talk to them? Do you have a safe friend that can pray with you or give you some advice? Ask God to show you what your right next step should be. John 16:24 “You haven't done this before. Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy.” What can you learn in this situation? “Some minds are like concrete thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.” Alfred E. Newman Be careful! It’s a cute little quote, but that is the kind of thinking that makes folks terrible problem solvers. Solving problems brings change. Change is painful, but necessary to grow. Albert Einstein said "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results” What do you need to learn? Is there something that needs to change? Do you need to change? Do you need to repent to God or apologize to someone? Dr. Henry Cloud said in Secrets of God “Mature people learn from their problems. Immature people repeat their problems.” This one is so important yet so few people do this one. Make an action plan and follow through with the necessary actions. Believe “Whether You Think You Can Or Think You Can’t, You’re Right.”- Henry Ford Have you seen this version of Philippians 4:13? It has become my favorite. Philippians 4:13 AMPC 13 I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency].” Mix with faith. You don’t question a recipe when it tells you to mix liquid into the dry ingredients to make a cake. When you spoon the thick batter in cake pans and shove them into the oven, you know you are going to eat some delicious cake when it is done. Yet somehow, when it comes to receiving God’s promises, it seems we are missing a step. Could it be that we aren’t mixing faith with the promise? Hebrews 4:2 KJV For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. The author is saying mix the gospel with faith so that you have a new and improved compound. The batter is better when baked to make cake. Don't miss this! When you see a promise in Scripture, you must mix it with faith; faith that is birthed out of knowing and trusting God to receive the fulfillment of that promise. Pay attention to God’s Word, give it supreme authority and priority in your life. Believe what it says and let it soak into your mind, heart and spirit so it shapes your beliefs and builds your faith to receive from God. I hope you'll make this your prayer and faith declaration for today. I think like a problem solver. I'm praying for you. I really appreciate you listening and reading my podcast. I love you. God bless you!
