    Brrrrrrrr....so bloody cold

    Of all these, Mt. Tremblant sounds familiar. I saw it on a t-shirt so the name may not be officially hyphenated.

    Between July and September I upped my running milage to 40mi a week. I also injured my back in July but since it mainly hurt when I awoke in the morning and actually felt better after a run I continued training through Sept. After my last race of the the season in Sept. I have not worked out at...

    Brrrrrrrr....so bloody cold

    I was incorrect before. They went to Quebec. Some slope with a hypenated name. At the lift entrances they have mirrors to check your face for white spots (frostbite). I have plans to go camping at Mt. Mitchell, NC (highest point east of the MS river) in a couple weeks. Should be nice and chilly.

    Brrrrrrrr....so bloody cold

    It has been sub 30F at night for the past few days. Last night I had some people over for a bonfire. Frost on the ground and I'm walking around in a t-shirt. When I got home the temp read 22F. I'm not complaining. Some friends just got back from a week of skiing at Whistler, BC. One of them...

    Best movie you've seen

    I watched "Bring it on" a few days ago. It's not as cheezy and stereotypical as I thought it would be. But then again it was a movie about cheerleading.

    [NEWS] - Sony unveils new walking and running robot.

    Instead of returning to human contact for intimacy we develop more substitutes? Soon we won't have to have non-professional person-to-person contact with anyone all day and we will be the worse for it.

    Return of the king

    I ended up going to the midnight showing on the night it opened. I'm not sure if it was the fact that I'd already been awake for 18 hours (and I was planning to stay awake and then go to work) or the fact that this being the final movie there would have to be resolution that made it not as...

    Online IQ test

    Yeah, you hit *228 to update the PRL. I believe Verizon does this because they have cobbled-together tower networks instead of a single unified network like Sprint.

    It doesn't work like that. It starts with your common everyday worker wanting amenities in their daily living. They want parks. They want the opera. They want to live on the water.

    I agree with you jtr. But I think it is important not to write off those who goofed off in HS or college even. There needs to be an avenue by which those who realize their mistakes they made in school can be trained and make progress toward becoming productive up to their potential. Trade...
