not man enough for this one

Christmas Chute, yesterday:



I can ski almost all the trails at Alyeska, the local ski resort. But not Christmas Chute. I haven't tried it, and probably won't for a while. It's narrow and steep. I can handle narrow and gentle, or steep and wide. But not narrow and steep.

One day ye shall become a second touching the void.

it looks frightful. i'd just slide down on my ass if i were you. harder to fall when you are already on the ground.

Haven't seen touching the void...but I reckon the cover says it all. A guy falls down a cliff.

A nasty cold one.

moose (i think the plural of moose is moose - it should be meese, if gooses are geese) are peaceful creatures, but if you invade their personal space they will stomp you to death. they weigh over 1000 pounds, so it's better to stay clear of moose.

a moose makes even the biggest male deer look like a mouse.

So your car got stomped by a moose then?

Moosen. It's moosen.

Awww...Alyeska. And so much more glamorous snow-covered.

How is Anchorage? Do tell.

I agree. Everyone should move to Alaska. Or at least spend some quality time there sometime in their lifespan. And not on a cruise ship...

The pet is somewhat of a secret. Although, certain RAs already know, but don't care. What kind of harm can the little fellas really do? We bought them a glow-in-the-dark hamster ball for them to roam around the appartment in. We'll here a knock, but it's actually BJ or Kenny B. running into the wall.
