Nicole Responds To The Snow Day

Dear Lord baby Jesus, lyin' there in your ghost manger, just lookin' at your Baby Einstein developmental videos, learnin' 'bout shapes and colors. I would like to thank you for bringin' me this ridiculous storm that has at the very least delayed my work day. You're the best baby J.

Skiing

Gary had his bachelor party this weekend and used it as an excuse to drag us all up to northern Vermont for the weekend. To make it even worse, we had to go skiing, too. It was a five hour drive and it wasn't so bad. You can see the change from boring to snow.

We finally get close and can see the mountain. It's like walking up to Mordor. We get beers and food with Gary and there's no way out. I've got 18 layers on, I can't move my elbows, and now I get to prove my athletic prowess by getting heckled by 8-year-old snowboarders.

Skiing was actually fun. Other than falling on the kiddie lift, falling getting both on and off the ski lift, and skidding off the track, I did pretty well. I finally get the skiing lifestyle. You hang out on the mountain all day, then hang out in front of a fire at a lodge drinking beer. There's nothing wrong with that.

We stopped on the drive home the next day to watch the Eagles game. It went from bad, to terrible, to amazing. The best kind of football game. There's one bar in mid-Vermont that now really hates the Eagles, or at least Eagles fans. We're kicking it old school.

Shutting Up Mary

Because the world needs to know, and because I'm easily bullied by Mary's two comments, here are pictures of Jeremy and Irene's awesome wedding:

That's right. I showed you pictures of semi-eaten fish tacos. Fish tacos in the Keys are amazing. Instead of the sauteed whitefish like in California, the Keys use deep fried chunks of fish and lobster, which is obviously way better.

Happy Brian

I would like to thank the kid whose streaming the Eagles-Texans game on justin.tv. You are my friend. Mary will be mad at you because now I will not be posting pictures tonight. I will buy you beer. Btw, I took this picture with my new droid. It's not cool how much I like this phone.
