RI ->CT->MA->VT...... RI->CT->NY->NJ


So yes, I have been doing quite a bit of traveling, but I guess that's the good thing about living in New England.


The weekend of the 24th, headed up to Sugarbush Mt for some snowboarding. But first stopped in E. Hartford to see the fam and meet phil k's new girlfriend, or significant other, whichever you prefer. Had dinner. Played wii. Ahh wii. If anyone out there want's to buy me something, a Nintendo wii, would be perfect, thank u. Watched sutherland bust out some fiddle skills then off to Springfield to a "Jungle Party". Ha when you think of jungle party, you think lots of decorations, funky clothes, and cool African music, or at least i do. Well this there were jungle decorations, a lot of jeans, and spanish music. Yes that's right. It reminded me of going to a house party's in willi, ct. But yes I heard, sauvemente, and yes I danced to it. So that was a really good time. Although it should have take me and alex D about 45 min from hartford. Took something like 2 hrs. Horrible horrible directions! You will be the death of me , mapquest. After that slept at brother williams house.


The next morning, Saturday she made us Choc O Chip pancakes mmmm. Then said our goodbyes and headed up to Vt. Got up there at like 6. After making a short detour to Killington, unfortunately not on purpose. Stayed with Bruce and Kate at there fabulous mountain side getaway. They got up there later, and we went and ate at the infamous "Hideaway" home of the one armed man, lol.

Got up Sunday and hit the mountain. It was a 10. Best conditions i've ever gone in. 3 ft of snow, no wind, powder, sunny, and not crowded. And not to toot my own horn, but I must say I boarded pretty stinkin well. Until, i hit my head, but that's another story. Went back to the condo watched the Oscar's and listened to Bruce's performanc in "Man fall's asleep during the oscar's", he shoulda won. Got up on monday said our goodbyes, and headed home. Monday got a nasty snowstorm here, and continued to have garbage weather. Tryed to finish up the month of service and failed miserably. Helllllo month of August my dear friend.


The Following friday, March 2nd, headed down to Jersey City to visit my old Pale Stanley. Got stuck at 10:30 in traffic on cross bronx expressway. What a shocker, traffic in nyc? Stayed at Lady's house in Jersey City. Got up kinda late on saturday. Didn't get to bed till 3, my bad. Went to work weekend just in time to have lunch ! Then met up with my crew. Got a huge assignment. Basically in a nutshell, I had to run 3 different cables (coaxRG-6, cat5, and power), across half the cafeteria down the hall into the boiler room. Fortunatly Lady helped. It was a dirty job, but mike rowe was not there to do it. lol. After finished work, went out and got authentica spanish, and then fell asleep. exausted.

Sunday. Got there earlier. Hooray. Did similar work on sunday. Ran more cable across the annex section. I found out they'll be using it so that whoever is watching the coat room during District Convention's can watch the program. So that's exciting. Finished early, went to lady's got primped then headed back to the theatre. In which I witnessed a homeless man peeing on the side of the building. It was actually pretty funny. I was about to ask him to let me in thinking he was a caretaker, but he fooled me, then walked away with this smirk on his face. GROSS. Went out to dinner with mary and leslie. Fun fun. Then went back to Mattykins apartment, playedgeetar, genesis, and swing danced. Go figure. Left way too late at 11pm. Got home around 1:20 made great time.

Today, thurday my mom left for a quilting extravaganza in Minnesota, haha. And tomorrow..... Cortopassi's here. It's about time! And also tomorrow is pioneer sem, and this weekend is our circuit.
