You've never been the Stein Eriksen Lodge, have you?

I have. Fifty times or so. Have a ceremonial hot chocolate there,
sing with the musician, hang with the rich folks. Best on mountain
bar in skiing.
Last year after we humiliated Brain Fried Bob when he didn't have the
nads to show up with three months notice, we skied to Stein's and
laughed at all of you freaks, especially him. A great time was had by
all.

Liar. You couldn't afford the ketchup there. They wouldn't allow you
in the door. Your smell and bad manners would upset the paying
customers.

Vote for Palin-Brown in 2012. Repeal the nightmares.

Merry Christmas everyone. God bless us all.

Beer, that's what.

I thought the idea was to bury it in the snow behind a tree...

You going this week?

Tuesday or Thursday look promising. Maybe both - I have a season
pass.

You could have shown up and found out. You had the same three month's
notice your fellow coward did.
Ooooops, forgot. That balls thing again. How humiliating for all of
you when Brain Fried Bob pulled a Horvath, diapered up, and hid out at
Alta

I carry a cable lock for the skis or board, and the pack for lunch. Stevens Pass
is still good enough to provide a microwave and hot water, so lunch is usually
quite good.

In my backpack, under normal conditions, I have a cable lock, a multi-
tool, sunscreen, ibuprofin, pepcid, cough drops, a couple of bandaids,
spare gloves, stocking cap (or my broadbrim hat if it's cold enough
that I'm wearing the socking cap), spare socks, whatever I packed for
lunch, a half-liter bottle of water, and what ever layers I have
removed as the day warmed up. My current bag is my son's former
school book bag, a solid Adidas bag with three external zippers and
two internal pockets.

Expensive food is worth it when you can afford it. I don't cook. I
prefer to eat at expensive restaurants like Hooters.

It's not a question of being able to afford it, it's a question of
whether or not it's worth what it costs. Very different. I'm sure
that any one of us, with one glaring exception, of course, could AFFORD
a $250 meal now and again, but I, for one, would not be able to emjoy
eating something that cost more than a computer.

OTOH, shopping at yard sales distorts one's value system. When a good
down jacket and a chocolate muffin cost the same thing, the cognitive
dissonance becomes nearly unbearable.

Probably Wednesday. Stuff to do tomorrow and Friday and it's starting
to warm up.
