Holiday hooch and December daze
Sat, 12 Dec 2009 00:00:00 -0800
All you need to celebrate the season is your own still and a nice downpour. I don't mind the rain, for that's when Posh takes tiny, cautious steps between house and car -- sexy little cocktail waitress steps, as if in heels.

Some wood and shingle houses by local architects went up, planted with showy flower gardens, but the hamlet stayed a countryside stop for year-end holiday visitors. Winter blossoms, orchards and poppy fields -- what more did a tourist need?

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 00:00:00 -0800
It's bulb planting time, and sun-loving peewee daffodils are a perfect fit for SoCal gardens. Bulbs are the antithesis of an instant landscape, yet many gardeners will wait months for brown, desiccated nubbins to flaunt their foliage, raise their buds to the sun and finally burst into bloom.

Overheard on Lincoln Avenue, Steamboat Springs' ever-bustling main street: "God, every single store here sells the same (stuff)." Sure, some of the low-rent Steamboat shops peddle gimmicky sunglasses, dated fleece jackets, cheap henna designs and clearance T-shirts with high-altitude jokes.
