With approval in hand for the expansion of the Aspen Club and Spa from the Aspen City Council, club prexy Michael Fox took the time to thank his supporters. "The proposed project, Aspen Club Living, will add 20 residential units, sold in fractions so that they are occupied throughout the year," he blogs. "The project will also add 12 affordable housing units-150% of the required mitigation- to the upgraded Club facilities. In addition, this will be the first project in the country to combine sustainable green development with a holistic health focus to create a healthy living community. The Aspen Club of the future will be something very special within Aspen specifically because it will be at the forefront of mind, body and spirit- a vision that Aspen continues to embody through you, the members of its community."

One of the people at the newspaper who hired me when I came to Aspen five years ago told me about “the tractor beam effect.”
That’s a poetic way of saying that once people leave Aspen they always come back, inexorably drawn to the mountains, the valley, the rivers, and certain ineffable things that have no name.
True enough: all of that speaks to why we’re so lucky to be here. But it’s also another way of saying people leave—they leave all the time—and that we’ve experienced this directly and personally. At least three key people, great friends, will no longer live here full-time come 2009.

Acupuncture is a medical modality, originating from China, with a 5000 year old history. It is a method of inserting sterile, disposable needles into specific acupuncture points to encourage the body to promote its own natural healing ability and to improve overall bodily function. Many people have only heard about Acupuncture for pain management however, Chinese medicine is a complete and comprehensive medical system with the ability to diagnose, treat, and most importantly prevent disease. Acupuncturists are trained in Chinese Medicine as well as Western Medicine, allowing for these practitioners to work closely with Medical Doctors and within the western diagnostic system. The treatment differs in that Chinese Medicine practitioners are trained to get to the root of disease by treating with herbal formulas and natural remedies to promote the body’s own healing ability.

Last summer I started receiving a CSA (community supported agriculture) box from Paonia. I had never even heard of this before I became involved. You pay the farmers up front for future produce so they have money to grow the food. I paid for ten weeks of locally grown food and received whatever was abundant and in season. I received vegetables I had never eaten, or prepared, and a few I even had to look up their name! Always making the box of produce a little surprise.

There was a time there, oh, along about 1980, when my Dad and I were just bachelors. My mom took off with some rich doctor to Florida, never to be heard of again until 12 years later (another story.) My dad and I were close, very close. We hunted and fished and played football and baseball, drove trucks and tractors and worked cattle, etc., etc. He wasn't even my real Dad. I'd find that fact out about six years later.

We had entered the “practice” portion of the “Women’s Health Conference: From Theory To Practice”—and that meant a group of us was walking in the woods to the Rio Grande Trail and thence into Clark’s Market in Aspen with Dr. Bob Vogel, the University of Maryland professor of medicine who doubles as chief of medicine for the Pritikin Longevity Center and Pritikin Research Foundation.
The idea of the conference, sponsored by the forward-thinking Aspen Center for Integral Health (acih.org) was to dig down deep into what goes down in the real world. Thus: the walk, a moveable lecture about what remains for us to feast upon in the healthiest of worlds.

Much like the human potential biomass as a source of transportation energy is boundless but we must first take the steps to make it such. There are many dedicated organizations putting in the sweat equity required to make this resource a realization in today’s business model.
However at what point do we as a society need to jump and calculate the costs at a later date? It is much like the idea of our fore fathers who took the chance to cross the Atlantic to reach a new land with unlimited possibilities with out doing multiple feasibility studies. At some point there needs to be a collective ambition to realize we don’t know the risks of such a venture however with out taking chances we will never know the possibilities of change and will be limited by our established resource, fossil fuel.

I had the good fortune to go to Social, the new Aspen restaurant on East Hopkins Avenue, on opening night, but I finally had the chance to return this week with a group of four friends of ours from Michigan. At first, I was concerned we had led our visiting Spartans astray. Social, you see, is based on the Spanish Tapas concept, whereby small dishes are the norm--and these guys like to live LARGE when they're living in Aspen. One time, at Takah Sushi, our visiting host from Michigan ordered a whole fish so big I was looking for the boat. When these guys saw Social had only a couple of big dishes, they started to mumble even as our stomachs were grumbling. I should have known better....
