| Suzanne Cheavens is the senior editor of Mountainfreak magazine, based in Telluride, Colo. Dispatch: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 Wednesday, 02 Feb 2000 TELLURIDE, Colo. Humpday. Everyday is humpday when you're working on changing the consciousness of the world. Today it's warm. Too warm. No gloves, no hat, jacket open. The weather is strange, and it has got me paying attention. The balmy temps will make my midday cross-country ski most enjoyable, however. Wha ... |

Dispatches |
| Suzanne Cheavens is the senior editor of Mountainfreak magazine, based in Telluride, Colo. Dispatch: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 Tuesday, 01 Feb 2000 TELLURIDE, Colo. So cold my eyes tear up on my walk to the coffee shop. For better or for worse, coffee is an integral part of every morning. I go to a place where the coffee is as black as a murderer's heart and as strong as Joan of Arc's faith. Damn good coffee. After the diary, I'll do an email session, update our ... |

| Suzanne Cheavens is the senior editor of Mountainfreak magazine, based in Telluride, Colo. Dispatch: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 Monday, 31 Jan 2000 TELLURIDE, Colo. Welcome to the happy chaos of my life as editor of Mountainfreak magazine. Since you probably have a voyeuristic streak if you're reading someone else's diary entries, I'll start by letting you in on a secret. I have never edited a magazine before, much less anything like Mountainfreak. But the minute ... |

Perhaps God made snow to force us to slow down.

Up at 6 a.m. after my late return from New York last night. As usual, the first half hour of the day was for reflection, quiet time, coffee. Once I got my 9- and 11-year-olds off to school, I opted to work from home for the morning -- a rare indulgence in claiming my own space. Sometimes, wh ... |

I awoke at 5:30 a.m. to catch a 7 a.m. train to New York City. Back to work! Off to raise money to keep the Center moving. I still find this dance of fundraising interesting to observe, almost as a third party, even as I'm in the midst of it. I've been either raising money or giving money away ... |

Despite the federal holiday, I spent a few hours at the office, fighting back against the tide of mail, faxes, email, and voice mail. Ugh. The inflow of information is beyond my capacity to respond. Seems the sage was right who claims we live in an age of much information and little wisdom. ... |

It was wonderful to have a rush of frigid air in my face for a change after such a balmy December. Hoping for snow!
