"So, what brought you out to Vermont?"
"I write about snowboarding and other sports, and this week I was covering the Burton U.S. Open Snowboarding Championships for ESPN.com."
"Oh, awesome. I look at that website all day. Do you write about other sports, too?"
"Yeah, all the time. I mostly write about action sports, outdoor sports, you know, stuff like snowboarding."
"You don't write about basketball?"
"Nope. I don't really follow basketball."
"How can you live in Denver and call yourself a sportswriter and not write about the Nuggets?"
"I might write about it if the Nuggets went snowboarding."
