Winter Lovin'

Blizzard, blizzard, blizzard!! Yeah that’s right it’s a friggin’ blizzard here. I went skiing on Thursday because it snowed at least two feet the night before. It was quite an ordeal.

Wednesday night I barely got home, the snow was so bad I had to just leave my car on the street and walk to my place. Thursday morning I woke up and dug out my car and started cruisin’ the major streets that had already been plowed.

On my little snow drive I decided to pick up someone special to me, Cheryl. She is the beautiful woman I met in the last post on here. We had met on the night before Thanksgiving in our hometown. Fortunately we both attend CU.

After we did some smoochie, smoochie, I suggest we go for a little ride in the vehicle. Cheryl is all about it and we start up Canyon Boulevard. The roads aren’t bad here (well not so bad that you can’t drive on them) and I continue until we are in Nederland.

When you are in Nederland, and it’s snowing, you’ve got to check out the ski resort. So we cruised up to Eldora and it looked gorgeous. I went to my locker, threw on my gear and was ready to hit the slopes.

Cheryl had never tried boarding so I got her an all inclusive package that included a half-day lesson with all the equipment. She loved it and when I met her after the lesson she was already flying down blue runs. I think my girlfriend could have a little immortal in her. Even this god didn’t try many blues until his second day.

All in all it was a day to die for and a rare sight to see and especially ski. I drove Cheryl back to her place and met up with the boys for a night cap.

Peace!! -D-Nys

Not doing anything for the new year?

I will tell you, after two thousand years of New Years, the scene starts to get a bit old. I have done the Vegas, Rome, Greece (both of these last two are pretty obvious), New York, Rio, Omaha (our car broke down), Paris, Amsterdam, Shanghai etc. thing. What I guess I am trying to say is it is time for a change. This year I am staying home!!!!! I am soooo sick of those cheesy noise makers, hats, and the always-annoying, not-drunk-but- just-enjoying-himself-too-much guy. (Between you and me, the super cheesy guy is usually Dionysus … it is his time of year and everything) It is probably better that I stay home for my mental health anyway. Every year I go out, Hera is all concerned with who is going to be there. What other gods and all (Us Pagans know how to do it right you know). Inevitably it hurts more than not because she has to get a new dress which costs money (the coffers aren’t as full as they used to be) and she always gets upset when I disappear with my friends. What is the big deal if you want to celebrate the New Year in every time zone on Earth? Anyway, sorry Hera, I am just staying home this year. Go out and have fun without me. No worries.

(Dionysus you reading this) Ok, I think I fooled Hera. She doesn’t have a clue. Let’s meet in Tokyo first at 11pm next to the Hot Soup stand where you did that samurai impression then we can do the party/time zone hopping thing. I love this time of year!!!!!!!!
