Return to Phoenix (and other scandals)

realizing that Lunar holiday (Chinese New Years) meant that there would be no teaching either Monday or Tuesday, Tom, Lee and myself decided to hit up the slopes again.....on the way up i thought i could smell something in the process of combusting, and somewhere in my immediate vicinity.....i decided to carefully pose my question:
GH "Lee, do you smell something? maybe something is burning?"
Lee "hahaha, yeah. engine." [speedometer then climbs to 180 as i envision what it will could soon feel like to be hurtled into the side of a cliff with a snowboard lodged in my spleen]

boarding was amazing and the waiting time for lifts was virtually nonexistent


decided to meet up with a few friends on Sunday, judging that there was no work to go to.....chejin, a korean friend, brought another friend she had met in Australia, Brett, along for the debacle.....long story very very short, we ended up in a nurae bang singing songs to each other in languages we could not read or speak, ending with Brett having to get on a plane at 11am (current time was 4:30am) at which time he became violently ill the entire flight and found himself in the emergency room upon landing

Dance-a-Thon 2006 was continued on Monday, as was Operation:Moneyspend, spearheaded by General Muchos Dineros: El Spendo Immenso.....pay-day will be more beautiful this month than has ever been possible
