John Butler Trio

Great tunes- currently listening to a song called "Ocean" off of the self-titled album. Another favorite thus far is "Groovin' Slowly". That song has a slow, easy skanking rhythm that makes my mind wander to thoughts of past girlfriends.

Bed Ironing

I've just realized how complicated it can be to iron clothes on your bed. Being as I don't have an ironing board, I feel like this is a good skill to learn. After multiple failed attempts, I discovered that it is much easier to iron button up shirts while the shirt is buttoned. Crazy.

Bed Ironing.

Day 1 - Asssssspen

I had my first day of work today, but before I get into this let me explain the past month of my life. I had no job, was playing rugby 3 times a week, and even skiing a little bit as well. Sounds pretty good right? Right- it was great! Living with mom & dad was enjoyable. But, it's time to "grow up" and get a "big kid job", even though what I am doing now doesn't really qualify as such!

Fast forward to today...

First day at work; learning the ropes, meeting my co-wokers, getting a feel as to where I can fit in with all these new people. I have yet to meet one stuck up or rude person - everybody is super friendly. In fact, as I was unloading my car yesterday, a guy by the name of Pete came by and offered to help. He saw I was wearing a rugby t-shirt and we began talking about rugby.

My roommates are great. Yucil, Mark and Johnathan - and only one of them enjoys skiing/snowboarding, which blew me away. I figured every person in this town was as ravenous and crazy about snow as I was - but I was wrong! After work I caught the bus to get a few runs in on Snowmass Mountain, and the bus driver on the way home has been here since the 70s. He's a good guy, and turns out he has a run at Aspen Highlands named after him ! He also named two runs in Highlands Bowl and Olympic Bowl - Ozone and Deception.

Highlands.

That's about all I can think of now.
