A saddled lion running through the thicket

When I started writing this Wilco [You and I] came on the radio, so it'll be a good post, right? Wrong, random-wrong. I'm rereading My Name is Asher Lev, and it still makes me want to be a little Jewish. Oh crap, Neil Young [Winterlong - live!] just came on the radio, seriously this is the best station ever. Ever. A couple of nights ago I played my first game of Risk ever and won. I was playing Kaci and Ryan [Sarah too, but she had fallen asleep by this point]. Kaci was dominating, so Ryan and I formed an alliance of sorts and I put the final nail in the coffin. It was then determined that the name of our empire is [was] Beardanzia. For the past few days we have been inventing a history of our beloved homeland, perhaps it will see the light of day. LOST is great, even though I have no idea of how it's all going to turn out. Pancake Day is tomorrow, and I'm not really prepared at all. It will be glorious all the same. I think I might give up Facebook for Lent, not sure though. A year ago I wrote the infamous "Her?" post. One of the pledges [via Kaci] ended up being Sarah, so I guess I'll call that a successful campaign. And it was a little weird having a girlfriend on Valentine's Day. For those of you who knew me at Trinity, you will be happy/angry to know that I did not wear my traditional VDay black t-shirt. My EHBS constitutes of old, prepare your hearts. I'm really tired of driving in the snow. If I could do any three events in the Winter Olympics, in order of awesomeness: Biathlon, Skeleton, and Curling. Perhaps Beard Growing could be an Winter Olympic event. I had a dream that the snow had melted and that the grass was green, it was amazing. I'm pretty excited for that dream to come true. I'm glad we can laugh about this. I am hoping that the 104 Family can reunite this summer, even if there isn't an "official" reason for getting together, i.e. a wedding. I started thinking about seeing them the other day and I got a little teary-eyed at the thought. It would be more than good to see them, and surely as unsafe as possible. What a difference a year makes. you have my love.
