We’re just about through with ski season, but let me call your attention to online travel magazine Stellar, which is running a rather unusual series by Bob Dedic called Miles From Home in which this avid skier from Colorado ruminates on family, fighting and the joys of hitting the powder. The magazine series is really quite good and comes with a ton pf photos. I haven’t read anything quite like this about Iraq, an odd mixture of outdoorsiness and, well war.
