Back in Business
I was up in Telluride for the past week and a half. I didn't notice my site wasn't working until about the second day that I was up there, so it's been down for quite a while and I was a bit bummed. Anyway, got plenty of powder runs and took pictures for those of you who care. I worked in the gallery doing "all the things no one has time to do" for the time that I was there. Such as painting, electrical work, construction, installing a dishwasher, setting up a network and running an ebay store. But the ends justifies the means, because it looks as if I will have enough money to travel. But in all honesty, who the hell knows. Just take one look at my track record and it's pretty clear that I can't get both feet off the ground unless they have pedals resting underneath them. I might just move out to California for a couple months. But really it all rests on how cheap airfare is to New Zealand.
Just a brief story that my dad told me about, I found it hilarious and I'm sure you will too:
My dad does this passover cedar for the christian community center in ridgeway, colorado. Don't ask, they're born agains and he enjoys doing it. Besides, it's not as if there are really that many Jews in Telluride with whom to celebrate Passover. In any event, he's at the CityMarket (large grocier store chain in Colorado) ringing up item after item of Kosher foods. Manishevitz Matza, Manishevitz Gphilta-phish, Manishevitz Grape Juice, etc... etc... When the total reads $125 the cashier looks at my father and says "You've spent over $100 and you're elligable for a free ham, would you like to take it?" My father ask for her to repeat the statement, and she patiently does with the same enthusiasm as before. "You've spent over $100 and you get a free ham." The woman bagging all the groceries looks at my father and then looks down at the goods she's been packaging. Realizing they are all Kosher and that all of these items were clearly for a Passover cedar, she looks up once again at my father, still contemplating the free ham and says "Kind of a dilemma there, isn't it?"
In the short term, I will be in Deerfield for the next couple of weeks, unless something comes up. So for those of you who will be around over the next couple weeks, drop me a line and we'll hang out. To the rest of you, happy christmahannukwanzika, and too all a good night.
