jfin is here…

.. THE DEEPEST SNOW IN THE WORLD! And it’s starting to fall again… *happy me*. Last Saturday was the first day of the season for us at Mount Baker, and this Saturday was the second. A good start, with stashes of pow to be had on both days. I love that place, it’s like no other mountain I’ve been to… bring on the La Nina weather patterns. :) Must get around to doing snow safety courses and buying the gear one of these days, the back-country out there looks to have some unbelievable riding.

Watched a good movie the other day .. In The Name Of The Father. Last time I’d seen it was in 6th Form (?) History. About the Guildford Four, who were falsely charged with an IRA-linked bombing in London in the 70’s and imprisoned for 20 years until their convictions were overturned in the late 90’s. Irish history is fascinating … has motivated me to find a copy of Michael Collins to watch, that’s a good one as well.

Went to an NBA game. Sonics vs Clippers. Neither team is doing very well this season so it wasn’t the best of games, but still entertaining.

Work is busy but not too busy. In some of my outside-of-work time I’m working through the Chronicles of Narnia again .. up to The Horse And His Boy now. Heading into another white Christmas, and remembering the reason for the season. Christmas carols are where it’s at. Oh, and this Johnny Cash cover…

Listening to : Ex Nihilo - Redemption (Mars Hill band cover of Johnny Cash’s original .. good song, ..get it here)
