Admittedly they were just a little out of the box, "We were ... [Read More]

Aug 19th, 2024 - They say the only constant in life is death and taxes, but I disagree. The only constant in life is change . Death is the ultimate change, taxes can cause change, but in either case, change is the catalyst. Most people find change hard, we like comfort, security, and the feeling of knowing what's next. Change is disruptive. When I found myself engaged in yet another argument with my spouse, the words of a friend popped into my head: there's comfort in the dysfunction.   It's hard to ...

Aug 5th, 2024 - Despite spending 5 years in rural towns in Alaska, snow really isn't my thing. The extent of my frozen adventures began and ended with snowshoeing.

I got connected with JB Sugar and heard how he took people's love of snow sports and meshed that with his love of cannabis. Enter Vermont Ski Shoppe . ... [Read More]
