Well my cell phone is in cell phone heaven...

While standing on the deck of the Narrows Bridge admiring the new construction of the second bridge, my phone rang... (you see where this is going...) and it kind of slipped out of my hands and did a 5 second free fall into the Puget Sound. Now some large octopus is using up my minutes.

Anyhow, if I had your number, please PM me with it again so I can get it in the new phone.

Thanks...

Try hiking under the lift line at a major ski area in the summer, you'll be suprised what you will find. I have some friends who have found hundreds of dollars as well as drugs on the mountain. Someone I'm sure found my favorite water bottle that I dropped at Keystone last year. I was too busy with work to go pick it up later but it was perfect for mixing and taking a redbull and jager on the hill.

Theres a place for all of God's creatures, right next to the mashed potatoes.

"You could say that a mountain is alot like a woman, once you think you know every inch of her and you're about to dip your skis into some soft, deep powder...Bam, you've got two broken legs, cracked ribs and you pay your $20 just to let her punch your lift ticket all over again"
