1. My sister and I hooked up the rabbit ears and on the second floor we can get three channels clearly. The three channels that are coming in clear are fox, the bible channel and everyone’s favorite telemundo. So I can watch fox at home now. The only thing that pisses me off about the fox network is that it is all American Idol all the time. Yet again why I refuse to pay for television.
Maybe one of these days I will subscribe to television again. Just not now.
2. My new boss Marsha started this week. Marsha comes from the big bad wolf known as Athletics. I call athletics the big bad wolf because around campus there is a certain aura about that department. So I now share an office with her. Thus far (two days in) it has been going great. I am learning some things about her and what is going on around the university. She is learning a lot about things that go on around the sport clubs office. She has been very fun to work with.
Other than that work has been getting busy since it is the week after spring break and we are now in crunch time for all of the teams. The main thing that this means is that my ski season is most effectively over. That is due to the fact that I have to be at the Oval Crit (cycling race) at 8am this Sunday. Next weekend I am going to the CSU rodeo. Anyone want to go to the rodeo with me? The following weekend I have the ice hockey alumni game and end of the season banquet. So that will effectively end my ski season. Damn, work.
3. My spring break started a day later than the college kids. This was due to the hockey tournament. I headed down to Crested Butte to spend some time with Dan. There was an ulterior motive of course. That was to meet some young spring breakers. Well to effectively ruin that sub plot, there were very few spring breakers down there. The coeds that were in attendance were all families and families from Texas none the ness.
Spending time with Dan was fun though. The time was consumed with drinking cheap beer and skiing for free. I didn’t pay to ski the entire week. That was wicked sweet. The first day we met up at Monarch and skied up there. That was cool because despite being spring break there were no lift lines. Have I mentioned how nice it is to ski with someone who can ski anywhere on the mountain and not bitch about it? We got to ski for free up there because it was part of Dan’s season pass and I had a free pass from John going to a Mammoth lacrosse game. The only down side to the day was that I developed a blister the size of a quarter on the inside side of my foot. That little bastard still hurts today. After the day of skiing we left for dinner in Gunnison, and later that day drinks in Crested Butte.
The next morning (Monday) Dan left for work. This was as I was doing my part to a constructive society, I was nursing a hang over. I did make it up skiing by 10am. This was one of the days when I drove around to the back side of the mountain and skied on the backside (of the mountain sickos) for free all day. Dan met me up for lunch on the mountain and we skied some runs for about three hours. That is one thing that is amazing about mountain living, long lunch breaks to go skiing. Damn I wish CSU was relocated to Crested Butte, Steamboat, Aspen, or Vail.
After the lunch break I went skiing by myself for the rest of the day. Then I went in for some hot tubing. Note to you readers out there, splitting a 20 pack at 10,000 feet in a hot tub isn’t a good idea. The next morning my hangover was ridiculous. I decided to take the day off from skiing so that I could find an internet connection in town so I could set my March Madness brackets. I had actually planned on taking the day off from skiing but I hadn’t planned on the wicked hangover. Got the brackets set and headed to the mountain for some much needed lunch. After this it was back to Gettman’s place for a nap, hot tub and some beer. Dan came back around 5 and we took the bus into town for a night (Tuesday) on the town. Dan had noted that the town of Crested Butte was not known for having many ladies at the bars. He was correct there were less women at the bars then I have ever seen in my life. I was in shock. Back to Gettman’s place for some more beers.
The next morning I woke up without a hangover and headed out skiing early. I went out hard since it was my last day there. The only downfall was that skiing hard all day and deciding to split more than a full 30 pack with Dan left us both shit housed. I don’t know how it happened really but we got housed that night.
Thursday morning I left for Fort Collins. That ended up being a fairly uneventful drive. The uneventfulness was partially due to the fact that I was in that hungover phase when keeping a constant thought was difficult. So keeping my mind on track resulted in time fly by on the way back to Fort Collins. Thursday night was uneventful even though my trivia team won.
Since Boyle didn’t have to teach and I didn’t have to work on Friday we went to the brewery tours. This was before I was supposed to meet Jessica and Paul to discuss them getting together to get her into a town home. Paul and I decided to meet later in the evening for some drinks. It ended up being Tamara, Paul and some of Paul’s friends. We went to Old C’s. Not much happened outside the typical shenanigans. I didn’t do anything wrong this time. Paul’s friend ended up nearly getting us into some trouble but I was a good sailor. I guess that means that I am becoming more mature and responsible. I ended up giving Paul and Tamara a ride home. During this Tamara actually said that I was “a good guy”. I nearly crapped in my pants.
Saturday consisted of me being lazy until about 3pm when Jessica and I got together to grab a couple of beers at the Old Town bars. It was a beautiful day and apparently the entire population of Fort Collins thought the same thing as we did. Of course it also happened to be Saint Patrick’s Day so I can’t figure out why the bars were packed. Jessica and I later met up with her old boyfriend and a couple of other ladies. After all of it was said and done there were 5 girls and 2 guys. I went home alone, I am a loser. I didn’t drive though. That was probably due to the fact that I didn’t have a car but I took to new Shamrock $6 shuttle home. I wish that thing was there when I was in college.
Sunday was the day of rest and I used it as such. I went to Potts with the sister for some Bloody Mary’s. Spring Break was over as is this story.
