August Turns
Sorry it's been so long but you know me I'd rather be skiing than type. With that thought in mind I joined two of my ski buds, John and Jack, and went to Chile to make some turns. Flew to Santiago and headed straight to Valle Nevado from the airport. No new snow for 4 weeks but made some turns anyway. It started dumping that night and woke up to 1 meter(40 inches) of new snow. Pretty cool except they don't get shit open like the states, still it beats working. For you skiers the resort is as big as Vail and all above tree line, nothing to steep. Anyway skied for a couple of days before the next blizzard another meter of snow. An avalanche closed the roads and resort so we had to stay and ski, bummer! Finally got out after a week and back to Santiago. Scary ride down!
The next day we went cat skiing, Ski Arpa, north of the city. The drive up there made the last ride seem like a walk in the part. Coming back scared the ever loving shit out of the 3 of us. It was all worth it, the skiing was out of this world!! Spent a couple of days seeing the sights in the city. Santiago is like a south american L.A. I like Buenos Aires much better. Met a lot of great people skiing, both locals and tourists like our selfs. I felt better than I have in a long time, guess the needle works. I inject HGH everyday and does it work. Who would have thought that I would like drugs on a daily basis. Yeah right! Anyway it was another great adventure.

Summer Turns

After reading the article below, I thought I'd show how my rehab is going. The shot was taken on Mt. Evans June 4th. God life is good again!

Good Evening

Thought I'd let you know that I added some new pictures down the side. As far as the health issue goes alot has changed. The cancer is supposedly gone but they can't say for sure for 2 years. The small part of the brain tumor that is left is dormant for know. Some would say so is the rest of my brain. The Cushing Syndrome will be back at some point but not at this time. They finally got my thyroid gland under control which has helped alot. The big news was finding out that I had no human growth homones which was really messing me up. After a long battle with the drug companies and my insurance, Dr. B and Paige, my nurse, got them to agree to give me a script. At the cost of $3,000 a month without insurance I see why only rich atheletes get it. The good news is the shit really works, the bad news is I need a shot every morning and it only lasts 24 hrs. When my insurance runs out so do the drugs, so I got 3 years to rock and roll. After that we'll see what happens. For know I feel frickin better than I have in a long time. Anyway check out my mantra at the top of the page and you will know were my head is. If you're so inclined, send your prayers out to the people who really need it, I'm cool!
Ciao, Craig

Catching Up

Sorry its been awhile. You know how it is, caught up in your own personnel bullshit! I was in an auto accident halloween weekend. Got hit from behind and crushed between 2 cars. My SUV was totalled and I walked away with out a scratch, Prince of Fricking Darkness, so needless to say I had to get a new rig. Went out and bought another Chevy a week before they announced that they were going bankrupt. Who says all my luck is good. Started to ski again and try to get my health back. Ended the year with a jolt, I was shocked on New Years Eve by a live wire while in the mtns on a ski trip. Let me know I was still alive! I will post a new health update soon. Ciao, C.
