Christmas in Vermont was wonderful. We skiied...we ice skated on Christmas day...we snow-mobiled on the day after...we attended Christmas Eve church services at Stowe Community Church...we watched Christmas Story and Christmas in Connecticut...followed it all with a ferry ride across Lake Champlain and a rare Winter visit to the Adirondacks to see our friends on Lake Colby and have a wonderful dinner.
After a Black Tie dinner on New Year's Eve and a day watching the Mummer's strut up Broad street...it is now back to the grind. Back to work and all that entails.
On the Sporting front: My boxer is slated to fight a 6 round bout on January 22 at Harrah's Casino in Chester PA. So we are gearing up for that...and for the last 3 weeks of Waterfowl Season.The semi-hapless Eagles are in the Playoffs. Welcome to 2011 Sports Fans!
Vermont sounds delightful! I was in Philly New Years day too. We were stuck in Mummers parade traffic! Happy New Year! xx
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year and good luck to your boxer!
ReplyDeleteYour semi-hapless Eagles got beat by our no doubt-hapless Cowgirls in the last game of the season. (Trust me, I'm not bragging.)
ReplyDeletePerhaps if "Jack*ss Jerry" makes the right call and hires Garrett as the head coach, next season will be different.
Wow, that sounds like an ideal Christmas! Best of luck to your boxer in 2011!
ReplyDeleteBand-Box Babe..Welcome and thanks for the comment. Yes, the Birds lost to the Boys...but it was 2nd string and meaningless game. The whole NFC East was weak this year...this the Eagles won it...I fear they lose to Packers this Sunday.
ReplyDeleteBad Bennie Briscoe R.I.P
ReplyDeleteA true Philly fighter.
Happy New Year! My neighbors across the street here in Madison were in Stowe when you were and I thought of all of you skiing together, although not knowing each other, and enjoying the holidays in snowy Vermont. Sometimes you have to literally remove everyone from their natural habitat in order to just hang without distraction...glad that happened for your family.
ReplyDeleteAnon: Yeah...Bennie is/was a Philly boxing legend. As Russell Peltz says...the best fighter never to win a title in history. Saw him fight at Spectrum. I was saddened when I heard of his passing.
