Skiing combines outdoor fun with knocking down trees with your face.

There's an Open Captioned movie tonight and tomorrow down in Mays Landing. They're showing Timeline. It sounds interesting, but I'll go more to show the theater that people are interested in seeing more OC movies there. It's still over an hour away, and on a weeknight.. blah.

Return of the King starts its week+ of OC showings in Rochester. I sure miss that.

Dog Tricks

Story from my kayaker friend George...

Shortly after joining Gary, Eric, and Bob at the Bridge to Nowhere launch site, our illustrious voyager had his boat and gear ready to launch in record time. Until he recalled that he had left the just printed map of the marsh in his van. Upon reaching the van, our champ realized the need to test the relief zipper on his wetsuit. Of course this is more readily accomplished with two free hands. Not wanting to place the just out of the dryer fleece vest on the ground, our paddler set it on the seat of the van. And closed the door. With the easing of the fluid pressure on the brain, our nature boy went into a mild panic as one of his exuberant canine companions danced on the arm rest. The drivers side armrest. The one with the electric door lock button. This would not have normally caused concern to our always prepared former boy scout, since he always carried a spare key, just in case. Except this time the spare was attached to his other constant traveling companion...the fleece vest.

Yes, as Junior happily pressed his face against the window, his rear paws buried in the newly washed fleece, he revealed that while he had mastered the lock the door trick, he had not progressed to the "unlock" portion. Our resourceful team of paddlers shortly scavenged the high water marks and came up with just enough wire, creative thinking and a bird watcher with nimble fingers to rectify the situation.

This one is more in my price range...

Cute?

Keslo...

I was riding in the car with Joe yesterday and we were talking about VW busses. I said something about how my uncle (ok, dad's cousin's husband) had a yellow one when I was a kid... or maybe it was green... no wait, that's Keslo's van from That 70s Show. And Joe says 'who's van?'
'Keslo'
'You've got it backwards'
'Huh? What's backwards?'
'His Name... switch the S and L.'
'It's .. Kel... so?'
'Yeah'
'No way. I've been watching that show for FIVE YEARS! It's Keslo!'
'Maybe all the hearing impaired people think its Keslo.'
'Maybe... but this makes no sense.. I have the captions on... how come no one ever told me I was saying it wrong?'

Anyway...
