I should start by warning you that I am sort of stuck on this whole groove or rut thing. As we settled into our second day in Snowmass, we felt compelled to visit the same restaurant we visited the prior year– Matsuhisa. Eating sushi definitely makes me feel like I am in a groove. I think I could eat it everyday, but I don’t. Maybe that’s why it always excites me, and why I always finish wanting more. Too much of a good thing can make you forget to appreciate what you have.
