That game was TERRIBLE. Defense turnovers and shady goaltending.

agreed. they really need to figure out how to play hockey in the 2nd period. i don't think they could've played a worse 20 minutes. The outing was fun though. We opened the bar at 10:30am and started drinking. my buddy who is a huge hockey fan was bartending so it was perfect. at about 1:15 and slightly buzzed we headed for vails terrain park to do some slushy park runs.
i've always hated the double standard in the restaurant business about being sick. and you, the public(or the 3 to 4 people that read my blog) should probably know this. calling in sick is a huge taboo. a sick day does not exist. In my 8 years as a professional cook i've called in one time, food poisoning. Even was at work at 10am the...

went up on beaver creek today. pretty much just practiced stuff in the park. i have zero experience in the jib department, and for the most part don't really care for it. but i used to skateboard and so i'm trying to figure out some of the easy stuff just to know how to. so i did my first boardslide 180 out on a snowboard...

Happy early birthday! I'm off to Devils Head tomorrow! Wooohooo
fasterinfall:
thanks all. I'm exhausted from a busy week of work, but feeling good. can't wait to get on the mountain tomorrow and wednesday.
i'm back. my mom started screaming when she saw me and my sister started crying. She (sister) didn't think i'd be able to meet Jillian until at least April when the mountains close and things slow down here. She was born on thursday; sunday i flew out. No one expected me to come into town so quickly. I spent pretty much all my awake time...

wtf I swear I just left you a comment... but It went poof. Could be the pain killers talking... heh.
See I'm a Jew too but, I don't keep kosher. Chinese food is actually going to be my second meal.
Yeah I'm going over the hump right now. Today well, Wednesday was supposed to be the worst day so it's all up from here...hopefully. By tomorrow I'm hoping to be doing less wearing of food and more eating of it. I swear, I need one of those lobster bib things. Sexy, I know.

I had no clue about the Ben and Jerrys ice cream. I'll have to try it out. I haven't touched that stuff since I worked at one in college.

How long you going to be in town for?
fasterinfall:
i'll be in town for like one full day just to meet the baby and surprise my sister and brother in law.
great weekend with Tommy. the snow came in force after his arrival and we had two pretty epic days at vail.
got a text from my sister this afternoon, she's in labor at the hospital. I should be an uncle by the end of the day!
