News
Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that's not feeling very clever.
Why? Our brain is covered with a fine layer of holiday fuzz — we're tired, and not feeling at all celebratory anymore.
We're done. We can go no further. It's over. Finished. Not one step further. We want quiet. No more presents. Stop the food. No more laughing or having fun. We've gone into hiding. We're serious.
Or rather, seriously joking. Bring it on, fair county! We're ready for you and all the fun you offer.
***
In other non-grumpy news, despite what we just said — they holidays were actually super fun! The towns are still bumpin' even now, and we're glad.
All our lovely visitors are enjoying the mountains, munching down on the finest cuisine, strolling, shopping, what have you. We think people should try out the local Nordic centers, or go for a sleigh ride.
What do you think our super fun visitors should do? E-mail us at summitup@summitdaily.com and give out some tips.

In New Year's news, we think everyone should stop thinking about the limits in their lives, and simply start thinking about taking more risks. We're not saying be dangerous and careless. We're saying —re-evaluate your life, come up with some out-of-the-box ideas and go for it! Us? We've decided to run up more hills — literally. So for the past few days, our calves have been sore. We also changed our toothpaste (risky, we know), picked out some weirdly random movies to be delivered by Netflix (this makes us nervous because the flicks are Independently made, unknown — and we like it), and we bought a pair of black jeans (just plain scary).
What are you going to do? E-mail us and let us know.

In butt-head news, a Breckenridge local who'd like to remain nameless sent in a Scum Alert!! Scum Alert!!: “To the scumbag that stole my scarf (that I knitted to match my hat that I knitted) from Howard Head PT on Dec. 14, if I see you wearing my scarf in town or anyplace, I will go up to you and take it back! I can't knit another to match now as I have a problem with my arm, so thanks a lot.”
People, please. No stealing finely-knit accessories. Summit County residents and visitors are better than that. Where's your holiday spirit?

We're out — probably being dragged up a hill by our dog.
