Laying down the first climbs of the season with Dave and Jesse . With some Iced trees that i saw on my drive back to school.

So this morning i was hanging out with my good buddy Matt from Plymouth. I look at my phone and i realized that i had missed a call. When i listened to the voice mail it was Joan from the American Conservation Core, she had called to tell me that i was being offered a job with them. I called her back and took the job.

Colorado here i come!!!

I just read a very interesting article about the Dalai Lama in Time Magazine, it was given to me by my mom. She and I had had a conversation about what would make the perfect government or leader. This led us to talk about Dalai Lama. I did some reading about him on his web page. I would encourage every one to look at his site. What he says is so simple and yet makes more sense then any politician ever has.

This is what happens when you get massive amounts of snow on the roof, and then get massive amounts of rain. You get a nice shattered window. This was on top of the cafeteria, no one was hurt thank goodness.
