chase the light

The first thing I did this year was toot this horn. New Years Eve/Day at midnight. A big group of us went to the cabin; Jennifer, Tom, George, Meg, Chris Gonzalas, Michelle, Kim, Marlene, Mitch, Andrea, Steve, Guy, and some other guy who stayed one night. I’ve never seen that many people sleep over in the cabin! As soon as New Years hit everyone grabbed their pillows and crashed.

This morning we all (some) went skiing at Snow Summit. The conditions were great but we were all so tired we quit at 1:00pm and got $15.00 vouchers to come back on another day. Tonight we ate chinese food from Pong’s and watched “The Princess Bride” and “Groundhog Day”.

Spent the day in Los Angeles with Judy. Shopping, seeing Jurassic Park, and finally going to The Troubadour for Human Drama.

Went with Judy to this show and met up with some of her friends. Heard the joke, “Two men walk into a bar and one looks at the other and says, “Oh, you didn’t see it either?”

In what was supposed to be their last show.
