CROSSING BRIDGES
That’s what I did today. And I feel the excitement of new thresholds. My run today was a perfect symbol. It was snowing. Yet the bears were out. It was cold, but there were mosquitoes. Bikers in the valley, skiers on the hill, fisherman at the lake. People in both shorts, and toques. A time of transition all around. Change, and promise. I do love spring 
My Path: 30 mins out and back, on the flat.
My Beat: ACDC — You Shook Me All Night Long

WEEKEND WINNERS
For a chance to win a copy of THE HEART OF A RENEGADE post a comment on Alison Kent’s blog . And don’t forget to check back to her blog each weekend for more wins — she runs a contest every week. A wonderful way to try new authors. Thanks Alison!
Above is the Grouse Mountain cable car that plays a key role in the final showdown with the Triad in THE HEART OF A RENEGADE. Last summer I investigated and took photos to make sure Luke’s dramatic actions were do-able. You can see where he climbed the ladder up top, and dropped down onto the roof while the car was still in the dock. You can also make out the glass operator’s booth up top.
And below — thar she goes up into the clouds … for more pics check out the Renegade Photo Tour in previous blog posts.

BEAR WITH ME
Skunk cabbage — the first food of bears out of hibernation. It now blooms in the swamps, sticking fingers to the winter, evocative of procreation and growth. Brilliant candles of color in the season’s detritus. The bears will soon follow. And then you’ll have to bear with me as I tell tales, once again, of ursine encounters along my woodland trails. So far it feels good to have naked ground underfoot, and a taste of warmth in the wind …
But while my running shoes are planted firmly in Whistler, my mind, my imagination, is in Las Vegas as I work on the outline of my new SRS continuity. Anyone been to Vegas recently?

CAN YOU SEE THEM?
An annual sign of spring — trumpeter swans on our lakes. Incredibly big and gracious birds with a rather ungracious and tubular honk. Coupled with the return of the Canada geese — they’re the brass band flying ahead of warmer weather. One hopes.
No run today. Rest day. And a day to dabble with my Vegas book.
