Success on the slopes - Part 1

A super day was had by all. The weather was pretty unforgiving - snowing most of the day - but we had tons of fun. Here are pictures with captions.

We need to work on loading the car better; but when you are driving something as roomy as my new Pathfinder... it doesn't matter too much.

The car from the outside. I never did a post on the joy of getting this car and happy I am every time I get in it. today it proved its worth. At the end of the afternoon with a foot of fresh snow in the parking lot, I just clicked over to four wheel drive and cruised out of there with no problem.

Sam, Catherine and Keziah decked out and ready to go.

Waiting for our friends to show up.
A fair bit of the day was spent like this....

Hitting the slopes

That will be us tomorrow. Mother nature has brought in an early season for snow. Some resorts opened last week - Thanksgiving is usual -- so we think we will check it out. Catherine had decided to snowboard and announced when we rented her gear that she is "goofy". That has something to do with which foot forward on the board. Anyway, we head up to Brighton tomorrow morning and I will take pictures.

Prof Hacking,

I noticed a sign on the door of the cla..room (I apologize, but the keyboard I'm on can't type the letter after r and before t; I have to try to type wordz without it--pretty weird, huh?) Anyway, I did complete the chapter 5 homework, but WebCT didn't have info on how to turn it in. In the event that you want it turned in online, I need to let you know that the homework iz on my computer at home and I won't be home until around 9:30 pm today, therefore I can't turn it in until after 9:30 pm. Will that be ok? I do have the hardcopy with me and it waz ready to turn in at clazz today.

From a student

A student sent this to me with the cover message: "People always ask me what living in Russia was like." Now I just show them this picture:
