Paris and Nicky are chatting up a storm, right now, as we speak.

Is that "gay" as in a "gay bar" or "gay" as in "I'm a child and I think it's funny to insult something I don't like by calling it 'gay'". 'Cuz if it's a gay bar, I probably won't like it 'cuz I'm not gay, but if it's a place you don't like that's another story. I've driven by it a few times and it looks decent, but haven't checked it out yet. Fremont's full of kids from the 'burbs on the weekends, but on a good Thursday night or something I might check it out. So is it a gay place or a "ghey" place?

I think the Nodder's in hot water.

Hey Minx, you hear something? Nope, me neither. Didn't think so.

If it's sunny, it's time for some extremo XC skiing this Sunday for me.

You don't need an ipod to do the podcast thing. Not that I want to listen to 'send it dude' but podcasts are pretty cool whether you had an ipod or not.

No, but I bought a new vehicle this week and the first thing I did was take it over to Magnolia to get an ipod wire installed. I own the music I have, so stealing stuff and getting a lower bitrate does not apply.

I got caught in one of those at Crystal a couple of seasons ago. Scared the $#!+ out of me. I could have used some help. The more you flail in a tree well, the more you sink. Dem's scary.

Here is where I took my course. It was good. Part of it is in the lodge at Alpental, and part in the front- and backcountry of the ski area. Good teacher to student ratio, organized course, great instruction. Looks like they have a Level One next month.

Ditto on USAA. The eligibility extends pretty far though, all the way to former dependent of a former dependent of someone who was in the military.

My FC Kahuna Machine Says Yes says 2002 on it though.

Right on, Matt.

I'm skipping this one. See you in August.

Racing sailboats is hella fun.

I bought an SUV that will probably never be used to drive kids to soccer games.

I'll give you an oh yeah on that. Good stuff, that FC Kahuna.

Feeling comfortable on easier blue runs at Snoqualmie might not be quite enough to feel confident in the BC. You might be better off getting lessons and skiing inbounds until, say, black runs at Crystal are not too tough for you. BC skiing takes your ability down quite a ways.

Damn! That's a testament to not skimping on safety gear!

I thought the Brian Eno record was pretty danged good. That and Rachid Taha's Teketoi was real good listening too.

Hey off, I like the textiles. Is that your stuff?

Anathema!!!

Some of my own work, and a lot from other local artists that I've traded or bought over the years. Drake Deknatel, Rob Roy Chalmers, Jefferson Pinder, Michael Murphy, Jef Gunn, Michael Dougan, Carl Smool. I just scored a gorgeous Glenn Rudolph B & W photograph that I need to get framed and up on the wall.

Vehicle shopping.
