<\/p>\nAfter three days in the car traveling across the United States, Paul and Morgan and I started getting \u201cvan-fever.\u201d We needed a break and Salt Lake City happened to be just around the next bend….literally. We decided to phone our good friend Courtney to see if he was in town and in the mood to chill. Courtney, tied up at work all day, never did answer his phone. No worries though, because as Paul and I were paying our dinner bill in downtown Salt Lake at Thaiphoon, 30 or so minutes from Courtney\u2019s neighborhood, five or so hours after we originally left him our arrival voicemail, THE one and only Courtney B. Phillips strode right by us on his way to watch the vice presidential debate with his new babe Mel. Things just have a way of working out I guess when it comes to chillin\u2019 with your bestest buds.<\/p>\n
Not surprisingly, our originally planned dinner visit with Courtney turned into a 2 night stay. We learned that our German friends meeting us in Bishop wouldn\u2019t be arriving until late Saturday night, which gave us some extra time. <\/p>\n
Feeling very jiggly and soft from the long three days on the road, Paul and I decided to get some exercise at the new Momentum Climbing Gym. Wow. Sweeeet gym:<\/p>\n

After that I took little brown dog Morgie out for a neighborhood run. She too was in earnest need of some exercise. Then it was Powder Whore time for Paul, myself, Courtney and Mel at Brewvies. For those who have never been, Brewvies is a brilliant bar\/movie theater combo in SLC where you can munch pizza and drink beer while you watch your flick. And Powder Whore was premiering their latest telemark-skiing video \u201cThe Pact.\u201d A most excellent video…even for the non-tele skier. If you look closely you can see us sitting in the audience, 4th row:<\/p>\n
