nfreeman Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 New baby boys! 8lbs 2oz, 20.5", healthy and happy (both mom and baby pommer fan #3) Congrats!! Honeymoon: Booked Destination: Thailand Touring thru the Northern part (including the River Kwai, heh). Doing a side trip to Cambodia to Angor Wat. Awesome. My wife and I went to Thailand on our honeymoon too (and Hong Kong). It was just terrific. And if you like hot food -- they can really bring it. If you're going to be up North and have time, Chiang Mai is really nice. Congrats! Quote
MattPie Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 If you're going to be up North and have time, Chiang Mai is really nice. Congrats! I think that's on the tour. I've heard great things too. Quote
MattPie Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 Took this shot on Sunday. Great day for a snowshoe hike! Quote
wjag Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 Saw Les Miserables with Jo tonight. What a phenomenal film. My high school was one of the first to do the student version and it meant a lot to see it in this way and hear all the music again. Every grown man in the place was teared up at the end. Powerful. Go see it. We saw it too. I've read the book, seen it in NYC and now this. A truly remarkable movie. They can extend the visual in the movie that a play just can't. The Fantene scene at the end was chilling.. I thought all the characters were well casted. This year 's Oscars will be very competitive. Quote
Claude_Verret Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 An article about sledding at Chestnut Ridge in The Boston Globe of all places. Brings back great memories of sledding and tobogganing there as a kid. http://www.bostonglo...mljN/story.html Our ballparks and arenas no longer allow us a single thinking moment. The NBA is the lead offender, blaring some form of music or scarring beat amid the action. More and more, the game feels like an extended intermission. MLB, the NFL, and the NHL (when it’s in business) are somewhat more moderate, but they all deal in their ragged, annoying forms of audio-porn. Our senses are constantly under assault, our sensibilities desensitized by life’s incessant woof and hum. Ah, but to be there atop Chestnut Ridge, with life’s volume turned low, its pace slowed, the world minimized to the pleasure and task of blending sport with gravity . . . So simple, yet tremendous, as simple so often is. Quote

Brings back great memories of sledding and tobogganing there as a kid. http://www.bostonglo...mljN/story.html I was just in town from Boston last week and brought my fiancee there. She'll get a kick out of this one. Quote

wjag Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 Do they still have the toboggan run open? Yeah they refurbed it a few years back.. Flying down the sled hill on those old runner sleds was always a thrill.. We had a souped up ten-seater tobaggan with extra cushioning. That thing routinely went all the way down the toboggan runs and forced us to deliberately crash it to stop it before the end.. I remember the hot chocolate too.. Quote
bunomatic Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 stepped on the scale today.... i weigh 89 pounds lighter than i did 365 days ago Congrats. That is awesome. Quote

I remember the hot chocolate too.. They looked incredibly dangerous on Saturday. The toboggans were jumping all over the place. A few people barely made if off the ramp before they fell off. I never did ride those when I was little even though we did have the toboggans. Now that I think of it, I can't even remember if those runs were even open back then. I know they shut them down at some point (before re-opening them recently), but I have no idea when exactly that happened. Quote

Not sure when you were a kid, but I remember doing them once or twice when I was little. So, mid-80s or so. Quote

I think it's gonna have to happen now Quote

I remember the hot chocolate too.. Yeah you could really get going on those things. I also remember an ambulance always parked on the top of the hill on busy days. My friends and I always tried to take each other out when we went there as teens. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) When in college we used to go to the Quebec City, or Montreal, area ski resorts. None of us skiied, but we did the *apres ski* thing at the lodges. Let me tell you this ... chicks dig guys with casts ... :flirt: Edited January 3, 2013 by Sabres Fan In NS Quote
apuszczalowski Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 New baby boys! 8lbs 2oz, 20.5", healthy and happy (both mom and baby pommer fan #3) Congrats, but about a week to early to get one the Sabres baby blanket and Certificate from TP (assuming you had it in Buffalo) I saw the article about it yesterday and told my wife, she now refuses to go anywhere near the Border with me around her due date. She still thinks the baby is going to be a Leafs fan like her........ (We did have discussions about having to come to a compromise that the Baby will be neither a Sabres nor Leafs, and may have to be a Red Wings fan) Quote
shrader Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 Not sure when you were a kid, but I remember doing them once or twice when I was little. So, mid-80s or so. They must have been open when I was younger (I'm 31 now), but since I never rode them, I guess I never noticed or cared. Quote
