Only in birth and death are we apt to sing one's praise.

Mmmmm. Day old Mandorlatini. Thank you, Staff of Life Bakery for your tastiness that you've delivered to Red Front for me all winter long. I'm looking forward to seeing you at the Hburg Farmer's Market.
Abundant beauty. Knows no bounds. In awe, I am humbled.
So yeah. i had another hiccup. It looks like while my last g10 was farkin with stuff, it corrupted a memory card. In an effort to save the photo I ended up with a seriously goofy looking photo. Here ya are.
Went up to snag my skis as today was the last day of ski season for Massanutten. Lily walked on the snow a bit and was happy. I'm sad that I don't have a jorb anymore. Oh wells. Time to be a trout bum and do a lot of mountain biking.
This was supposed to be an awesome day of going out the shooting range in the national forest, but when we got there it as closed for cleaning and maintenance and because there are a lot of dumb, in-bred, rednecks that go there and abuse the place and shoot the tables and signs and just participate in general asshattery. So we decided to drive over to Dolly Sods wilderness because there's supposed to be an awesome view with minimal hiking, albeit driving up a rather decent sized mountain on a craptastic dirt road, so there is some work involved, especially when you're driving a Chevy Cavalier. SO we got to the top of the mountain and there's a five mile drive along the top of a ridge to where we wanted to go. No big deal, we'll do it. Except that the gate across that road is locked. So much for that one. We did, however, find an old, semi-abandoned house that looked like a crack/flop house. It had been sheetrocked inside within the last couple years but the outside of it was crumbling away. Inside was full of random trash and torn up pillows and some stuff that looked like it had been used to smoke either meth or crack. I think that was the most interesting thing we found on our drive. Oh well. Today was a day of high adventure with pretty much no pay-of.
A fun day in the sun of filing for unemployment and filling out jorb apps. Enh, we still had some fun and blew some bubbles.
Yesterday at lunch I ate my first piece of broccoli in nearly two years. I love the stuff, but now I remember why I don't eat it anymore. I was in pain till about 3am, then had to get up at 6am to get ready for my last day of "work". I was pooped, and I was also convinced that today was the first day of spring so I took two photos, one to remember winter by, and one to look forward to spring with. Then I got home from skiing and had some time on the compy and realized that I was horribly wrong and that tomorrow is the first day of spring. I'm chock full o'fail today, so you get two photos.
Goodbye, winter. My last paid day at the Nut for the 2008-2009 season.
Hello, Spring. Yes, we're a day early, but we're prepared for your fantastic fickleness.

Went to the Library this morning. Post nap we took the Bug to the park while I played disc golf with a friend. She and Kimberly had some fun playin on the playground.
St. Patricks Day. Didn't do nothin much green. Discovered that Harrisonburg is secretly trying to make all men nudists because no one other than Penny's sells nice masculine clothing anymore. Had a jorb interview at WHSV. Took about 3 hours. They said I'd hear back within two weeks. Hopefully it's good news. I needs me a real job.
Didn't do much today. Skied. Skiing wasn't bad, but it was soggy and foggy and nasty and everything else.
Spent the day recovering from a hectic weekend. Lots of lounging on the couch and doing nothing. Got really foggy out in the evening.
Denise and Mikey finally got married. It's about time. Here's the happy groom with his new father in law before the ceremony.
Aaaaand it snowed again. Freaking wierd weather we have here in VA in March. I like my snow and cold and skiing and the whatnot, but once I get a taste of spring (and we do have a phenomenal, 3-4 month spring down here), I'm ready for it to stay. Gimme back my ugly, dirty, poo coloured snow.
Poring down rain. Hurried outside at the last minute to snap a quicky in the dark.
Another warm, funky day. Cooled down to the mid 40's. I've never actually been able to watch a storm pass through the valley from the top of the mountain before, so it was fun to watch a rainstorm pound parts of the valley for a couple hours while I sat out and smoked my seegars.
