ok, quickly, here we go. if there was any doubt the yankees suck. we drove all the way to tampa only to find the game was rained out “sorry folks parks closed. the moose out front should have told you. and btw, bama lost yesterday. way to go tide! anyway, we made the most of our st patty’s anyway. we had a fun columbian waitres and lots of green beer.

here’s a team photo with our waitress.

still, dietze was not enthused

later he woke up and we took a team photo.

it rained on us all the way down, even as we passed through tifton (a high speed internet city).
we almost missed the braves game as we thought it was rained out.

instead we caught up with collie and reggie theus and watched some good baseball and even got a chance for collie to try and stalk ballplayers.

luckily frank robinson didn’t have to mace him.

ummmmm, not that there’s anything wrong with that.
we took a final rain-soaked team photo

Just flew back in from Park City and boy are my arms tired. Ummmmm, ok, here we go. We got some good photos but also a ton of great video of some major league shredding….actually pretty minor league and unfortunately, it’s mostly just the ugly bits we caught on film. Anyway, here are a couple of the pictures…..some of the video will go out onto the website whenever i get it from Doug.
As you can see here, the party got a little crazy at times.

But for the most part we kept our ski clothes on and stayed out of trees.

I mean except for this example where there was a notable shortage of women in the hot tub.

Here Drew flaunts the terms of his parole as he asks a little girl what she wants for Christmas.

MC appears to be choking me here, but it was just a friendly discussion about who shreds the most.

All in all, the weather was gorgeous and we had a great time.



Any ski trip that doesn’t end with me riding in a sled down the mountain has to be considered a success, so I’d say this one was.
