Taking Time Off Isn't Lazy

I just read this enlightening article in my November/December issue of "Via": AAA Traveler's Companion magazine, which I receive as a benefit of AAA Membership. Titled "One nation in need of a vacation: Taking Time Off Isn't Lazy. It's Essential" by Steve Rushin. He almost scolds us as Americans to not feel guilty about taking time off from anything and everything; in fact he emphasizes that we need to become "duty-free."

One of the more funny (but true) fact that Rushin brings to light is that "In England . . . leisure and pleasure rhyme. In the United States, leisure rhymes with seizure."

A light, quick read that reaffirms our belief that what we offer to our guests here in Wyoming is very valuable.

Autumn Colors, Wyoming-Style


Fall is almost behind us; there is a big snowstorm across much of Wyoming as I write this entry. Here at the ranch on the Green River, it is very cold and windy, which makes me long for those beautiful days of September color and warm sunshine.

This photo was from the last ride of the season, heading up toward the forest. It was a little chilly that day but no one was deterred, as the aspens were beautiful and the sky was Wyoming blue.
