New Years Paradox

Its been a while, but that only means things have been calm and steady. Thanksgiving and Christmas are now over, and the year is coming to a close. This past year was very exiting and part of me is sad to see it end.

Vermont or bust? yes... We are loading up the car on saturday, and I cant wait to snowboard. Then, after new years I am heading down to florida with Ethan to visit E-dog and go to the Orange Bowl.

Lloyd and Rachel are in town for the holidays, hopin' to meet up with them tomorow night at Mitchel's 25th surprise birthday party. Boy I hope he's not reading this!

Anyway, the paradox of new years is that everyone has all these resolutions, and then they get completely wasted, only to start the new year totally hung over....

And yes, that is another view of the Verrazano Bridge. Stellar shot Gabi!

DURA-FLAME NATION

I generally make fires whenever I travel to vermont. I have been known to start an occasional campfire or bon fire, and as a kid, I was a bit of a pyro-maniac.

Duraflames are artificail firelogs. They are made of Sawdust and Petrolium wax (a byproduct of Oil) Since researching the company, I have found out that they are going "Green" and will soon be using only natural waxes, from plants such as soy. Gosh, they can use soy for everything! I think this is a great move for the company. Not only will this save 100 million pounds of petrolium wax per year, but it also helps their business. By making duraflames "environmentally safe" they are now able to compete in such retailers as Trader Joes and Whole Foods. They will also be promoted in places like Wal-Mart and Home Depot that are launching programs for environmentally safe products.

This past weekend I used plenty of them in Vermont. Another great trip full of cold snow and warm fires.

At one point during the trip the humidifier BLEW UP! litterally, It was kinda freaky.

We made Pizza.

And Gabi beat me in Candlestick Bowling.
