Having a great Christmas Time

Well we have had quite the week in Montana. It all started with being invited to Bret's Christmas Party at Lone Mountain Ranch in Big Sky. We met at the office in Belgrade and toor a "nice" Grayhound like bus up the cannyon. A short ride later we were there and getting loaded into a horse drawn sliegh . Pulled by two very large Clidesdales (sp?) we quietly sliped acrtoss the trail to a cabin a mile and half away. It is amazing to see the forest in such beauty with a bright moon, tons of snow, and jsut a nip in the air. Once inside, we were trated top prime rib, poatatoes, and cowboy coffe all cooked on a stove that dated from the late 1800's. Damn it was good and soon after dinner we were sung to by Bruce Anfinson. just a normal cowboy who can play the guitar, but it was cool to all be sining Jingle Bells By candle light in the middle of the winter laden forest. another tired , full, little drink ride down the cannyon and we were home. what a great night adn it was just Saturday.
The next morning we got up and had opur first day on the ski hill for the 05-06 season. With Ken, JAne Breat Zac, Olivia, Nate JUlie, and myself making runs we had a great time. We were even greated by a helcopter landing right next to us in teh parking lot for some reason. Dame it was fun to speed down the hill with the cold air biting at you anas you wish you could go faster. But it is just the start to a season that has begun with record snow fall and hopes for much more in the near future.

Then this weekend I was pulled at great speeds behind my nephews snowmobile . It was very cold( -2), but so worth it because there is nothing like going 40 miles per hour in a hugh firld of powpow . I could only stand it for about 45 min but it was the funnest spert of time I have had in quite some time. We ended the weekend witha viewing of the new movie........KING KONG. the effects were great, but DAMN it it really nessasary to take 3 1/2 hours to tell the story. It seema the effects almost took away from the story because they really had little or nothing to do with the plot. last but least aat the Walker christmas party I made a connection with an ond friend and it just so happens that Her firm is hiring for the GIS job Zac is looking for. He interviewed and he will find out on Thursday if he is chossen. I would be great to have him here. I would look forward to our families having fun together and plying a larger role in the girls life. Well it will be soon that we find the fate which Zac is working so hard to fulfill.
I am also thinking of taking up Statistics again. I find my mind is grtting dumbed down a bit.
