December 08, 2008



Snowbird, December 2008




The first snowfall of December has cast the valley and her surrounding patron peaks in a frigid Christmas sepia. As beautiful as it is we hate Winter with a fiery, irreconcilable hatred that would have made Caligula turn in disgust. The cold starts out as new and bracing and after the first few seconds, and for 7 long months after that moment, the piercing, stark air abrasively suffocates our teetering will to live. By May the admonition of Boramir rings with ominous clarity




"And you will beg for death before the end."







We are probably the last people to hear of this TOP 10 fad, after all we just saw Heat for the first time last week. Lists are a good way to jump start lethargic bloggers so it is here that we will enter the stage of cyber-comparative-communication. Like Shakespeare's evil twin brother profoundly, and antagonistically, put it;




"All the world's an audience."

As Fall comes to a decided end we reflect on all the wonderfull times we have had with our friends and family while the sun was out; So wether it was playing music together, playing golf off the front porch, or being there on a special day. . . it's been nice to have a digital camera!























































(Stay tuned indefinately for more of Audra and Jimmy's infrequent blogging. . . Maybe.)

What? An actual blog? I can hardly believe my eyes! I love that picture of you two. Did you know you can shrink it to fit in the display square? I had to do that with ours because mine was so big, I think you could see the pores on my nose!

Hey Auds. I like your blog. I don't know about all of those albums though. Mogwai... in a top ten? And I don't even know who Pinback is. James-Laid on the other hand is a very solid choice and very nearly maid my list. I still can't believe that Perfect Symmetry is on Jimmy's list. You two are a little too infatuated with that album than is healthy.
