I'm running out of time to do a tour of American Ma and Pa ski resorts.
Four years ago I skied at Pine Creek, near Cokeville, WY. For the last three years I've skied at Beaver Mountain in Logan Canyon.

Love's Labor's Lost (LLL). William Shakespeare. Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Elizabethan Theater. Ashland, Oregon. 11 October 2018.
In the play king and his three lieutenants pact to give up women for three years.
LLL proposition should be considered by today's men as well in view of the cultural legitimization of extortion against unwitting men by widespread, deceiving Delilahs.
Besides, robots offer an acceptable safe place. Robots don't deceive or extort.
If female interaction (always risky) is required, any man who doesn't strictly follow the Pence rule is an abject fool.
— at Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
Note: First time seeing this play. I didn't read the play or otherwise prepare as I normally do for an OSF Shakespeare production. Consequently, I missed much of the play's notoriously complex wordplay and found following the plot difficult. My bad. The production, in aggregate, seemed well done. I'll put the play on my reading pile.
Addendum:
