It's been a while since my last post, so I just thought I'd let you know what I've been up to. Lots of planning for winter, and lots of exercise. I'm really excited for winter. None of the townfolk are though.
It's funny how many times a person can have the same conversation. People remark that it's getting cold. I tell them it means winter is coming soon, and I'm excited for that. They try to tell me how much snow they got last year. I tell them I'm not scared cuz I like snow. The tell me the Farmer's Almanac said there was going to be more this year than last. I'm still not scared. They look at me like they think I'm about to fart on them. I think I've had that conversation upwards of 30 times in the last three weeks. I wish it would just be winter so that people would stop trying to scare me about how much snow was on the way.
In other news, there was a lobster bake here last weekend. Some random guy got in touch with a lady here, and they arranged for him to bring 500lbs of lobster up to town and sell it for $5.50/lb in the K-Mart parking lot. Leave it to the Madawaskans to cook up a scheme like that, but it was great and we all at lots of cheap lobsters. They said they want to have a rib-eye steak party next. I'll be shocked if they convince a guy to drive up from Texas with 500lbs of steak, but I guess it could happen.
I bought plane tickets last night to come home to Steamboat for Christmas! I'll arrive on the 22nd an leave on the 29th. I realize that those dates probably don't coincide with the plans to go to Tays Condo, but I had to take what I could get as far as time off from work during race season. Anyway, many of you live in Colorado now, or have hosted me in the past, or you're my friends and that's reason enough, so please come visit me in the 'Boat. Mama and Papa Toast love to have my friends visit, and I love to go skiing/drinking/half-pipe kayaking with friends (Sophie, this might be your chance to have my mom get you liquored up).
I hope you are all happy, healthy, and well-fed.
Love and Adventures,
Toast
