symmester almost over, can't wait! no snow in edmonton yet, but I hear banf and jasper have had some good skiing already. so like most ski bums and granola artists, I long for the hills. My upcoming backcountry trip to stanley mitchell hut should be pretty fun.

i must replace this picture. as one of my friends, well one of two, said, it looks like i'm punching a button (hole) i think i'm about to put my finger in chocolate cake with q-tips and kleenex sticking out of it.
