It's that time again. Vail closes the lifts on the 18th thus ending my job. So the big question is, what the fuck do I do next? There are lots of possibilities, but no one certain direction.

Do I stay in Vail? Everyone says the summers are nicer than the winters, but I', skeptical. If I stay, do I move to another place and get the hell out of the trailer park? Do I buy a place? I've paid rent through the end of May, so I'm sort of stuck here. I guess I could bail and not feel too bad about it despite throwing away more than 600 bucks. If I'm going to leave, I might as well leave right away because it would be silly to take on a new job and then leave in 5 weeks. I also don't know if I want to make any long term commitments to Colorado. On the other hand, the real estate market is down, interest rates are low, and you can makes good money renting condos seasonally. This might be a good place to start my real estate empire.

Do I move back to California? Most of friends live in California. I know I can find work there shooting soccer, baseball and girl's softball or even get back into web production on some level. And if I work for Sharpshooters again, I'd like to try another resort, say Heavenly in Tahoe, just for variety's sake.

What I'd really like to do is sell my car, put my stuff in storage (again) and travel to India or teach English in Cambodia, but I have the kittens to think about. They are forcing me to become a responsible human being. I could take them to the nearest Korean restaurant and be rid of them, but I don't know if I could live with myelf. Damn them for being so cute.
