Attempt two of this post, yes, thats right, I had done this once already, however, my internet connection is less than reliable. Anyway...

This has been an interesting Winter Break for me, well it can hardly be called a break since I am now graduated from the Fort and I am working at the Purg full time now. But it has been interesting none-the-less. Alex my good friend who lives in Irvine is down for the break, and Keegan and myself have had a great time hanging out with him. From the first instance Alex and myself returned to my apartment and we stampeded Keegans room to the drunken affair in Cortez, now known as the 'Tez. Thank you very much for my insidious slang, which I use much to others chagrine.

Well, the night out in Cortez was interesting, in which Keegans cousin Alexa and Keegans girlfriend Sarah joined us. Our Friend Jody was there too. What a night, the drinking, the overpacked car, what can I say, it was a truly odd night. One I will never forget, but that is a differant story, one that is best saved for old age and bad memories. That was unfortunatly the last night we got to hang with Alex for a bit because he not only had the flu but left prematurely for Boulder later that week. Any way, that Friday(the day after Christmas, Boxing Day!!!!) was quite exciting, and it was a shame Alex could not enjoy it with us, but he had his own adventures in a return home to Boulder, and I will let you read his journal for those details.

So boxing day was quite the party. Keegan's cousins and sister with husband in tow were going to show up. We called Jody and he left on his way as well. In the mean time, Keegan, Sarah and myself went to eat in Durango. All I have to say about that experiance is this, any place that wishes to charge 20 dollars a plate for the crap they served needs to be put out of bussiness forovercharging. But back to the fun. We had planned to go out, but Keegan's sister and husband were underage so we stayed in and drank our cares away with various drinking games. The debauchery that followed is systamatically coming back to me in flashes of memory and scenes that were aparently not as bad as I thought, but then when you cant remember teh night you always assume the worst. Ah, Vodka and OJ, such a wonderful combination, until the next day when your stomach starts doing sommersaults and wont quite.

Well, nothing has really happened since then, but for now thats enough. My new page As the Bullwheel Turns is being put on hold while me and Jody rewrite History (thats right, rewrite, youll see). Alex is back for a couple of days, and we plan on going up to the mountain on Monday for some fresh powder riding since it has alreasy snowed 2 feet in a day. WOOT! The snow is falling and the Texans are leaving, halleluja! Peace....
