adventures in the "Far East"

well dear followers, I've returned from my adventures in the "Far East" (New Hampshire). The last 10 days were great. Here's a few highlights:

• took millions of pictures
• ate shit on some icy pavement
• caught some ridiculous bronchial bug from the airplane re-circulated air
• blew my diet into a million pieces
• finished 2 books (am now in love with Chuck Klosterman)
• re-kindled old friendships
• went snowshoeing for the first time ever
• learned two new uses for a coffee pot (beer pitcher, and bloody mary pitcher)

So now, as I lay here in my NyQuil self-induced coma-like state, I'm trying to reflect on funny stories to tell you. I know there are many, and I think I'll have to regale you one at a time. I really need to start writing shit down when I think "oh this is funny, I should blog about this" and promptly forget said funny story 6.9 seconds later. My apologies my dear followers.

Please enjoy some pictures and I will attempt to organize my thoughts into coherent sentences.

funnily enough, NOT ONE of us remembers taking this picture
