Big ski country Aspen too far? Try Montana for a snowy getaway 12/27/08

Obama holds fast to fitness 12/27/08
 

Fitness for office


Posted at 12:01 am

Travel guru Rick Steves writes about his visit to Tehran, Iran, where presumably he did not engage in marijuana-decriminalization activism, because he returned to Edmonds alive and with all his extremities intact.

In other travel news, skiers have two primary choices in Montana: Big Mountain, a rustic resort, and Big Sky, a posh place where you'll share a chair lift with celebrities.

Not so long ago, the only celebrities you'd encounter in Montana were the ones paid to appear at the Great Falls Chrysler-Dodge dealership.

As tabloid readers recently noted, President-elect Barack Obama's daily workouts have left him fit for viewing while shirtless at the beach.

The Buzz doesn't know whether Obama will prove to be the 21st century version of FDR or a Jimmy Carter for the new millennium, but we do know this: Any 47-year-old man who can doff his duds without fear of ridicule and play full-court basketball without blowing out a knee or slipping on his own vomit is ready to lead on Day One -- at least at the White House gym.
