Skiing

I took this picture the other day when the wind chill was in the single digits. I think this is the Tonawanda River, it starts in the Lake and dumps into the Falls. I think it's cool seeing all the snow/ice floating by.

This past Sunday I got to go skiing for the first time. I've been water skiing since I was 7 and it being similar to snow skiing I've always wanted to try it out. Minus the cold wind I really enjoyed it. We found an easy hill shortly after a few bunny runs (and me yelling at the group of people "I can't STOP") that which was tons of fun to go down. On one run I lost my ski and had to back track. My next run, a women lost her pole, knowing how it was to loose something and back track I attempted to help her out. By running her pole over I somehow knocked it closer. LOL, she was thankful at my attempt. I'd like to go again this year if the snow lasts a little longer, it might since we just got it. I think I'm going to look into purchasing my own skis and a season pass next year.

This week I'm working in the mornings at my freelance job. The guy is out of town and I'm covering for him. Today I had a banner to print and after 3 hours of printer troubleshooting I was able to start it. There were two errors that I've never ran into before. One the rail was dirty, causing the carriage to stop in the middle of the track. Second, the light black cartridge, even though young in it's life was bad and had to be replaced. I seem to enjoy printing so far, I don't get frustrated with it as some would. My other job is currently annoying and frustrating though. Which I won't go into cause it's just too much.

Last Friday I had a late night out and about. Dan, a swimmer friend (from Manhattan Beach, which met here), was in town with his friend. They were looking to have some fun so he took Michelle (another swimmer friend) Mike and I out. We ate a Tully's played a few games then headed over to play some Laser tag. Which again, I've never played but it was fun. I tried to use my newly developed Far Cry skills (the first person shooter game that I bought Mike for Valentine's day, which I've stolen from him to play).

Well, that's what I've been up to these past 2 weeks. Now I'm off to write my work out for the day.
-Keeping warm until my next post...

3 Teams Now

It's been over a week since my last post. Honestly nothing has struck me as very interesting to write about. Sure there's the Super Bowl, but I'm no sports commentator (wow I spelled that first try!). Other than there were some really bad calls and the commercials were a disappointment. I think it was pretty cool how the MVP's over the past 39 years walked out on the field. Many of which were Cowboys. Only 3 MVP's didn't go - Jake Scott who is currently traveling. Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw decided not to go over money - cause they don't have enough already. Looks like Pittsburgh is now the 3rd team to have 5 Super Bowl wins next to the Cowboys and 49er's. And since it was a 49er and Steeler that didn't do the Super Bowl MVP walk...it just goes to show the Cowboys are just all around Better.

Work has been really busy. I had 3 client meetings last week vs. the usual one per month. Not to mention this hell job, everything that could go wrong - Did. I was due for a relaxing weekend, which I really didn't get. Which leads me to my picture I chose to put up. I took it over a year ago back home at the beach. I decided to change the color suit my mood. Can you guess what that is? If you do let me know.

I'll end my post by congratulating Troy Aikman for making it into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Congrats!
