Winter league ultimate. We beat the gold team 33-25. I did NOT get hurt the whole game.

Turned 50.

My mother got me a custom puzzle for my birthday. It had outlines of dogs, a snowboarder, a book, a car, a guitar, my name... Plus, it was a picture that i took.

Took Sasha and Seera over to the White Rocks picnic area and hiked around on the crusty snow.

Winter league ultimate was on as a gnarly wet snowstorm rolled in. Finally at about 4 o'clock, the late games were cancelled. I was happy to not go.

Heavy heavy snow/sleet storm. I awoke to find 4 limbs down on the maples in front of my house.

Josh and i went out for a few runs. We ran into Derek, a new snowboard instructor, and he joined us through much powder.

All my siblings and cousins sent me dark chocolate for my birthday. This isn't even all of it, as i'd already eaten some by the time the bulk of it arrived.

I really should've had my driveway plowed.

Elfin Lake.

My first book signing! I set up in the Okemo Snowsports Shop for a few hours and sold 4 books.

I had Pandora radio playing on my MacBook and all of a sudden there was a groinking sound, the monitors went haywire stripey crazy, and it crashed with a friendly omenous gray warning screen. Never started again.

Tried to ressurect the MacBook at work, to no avail. Tried to borrow one of the Marketing MacBooks, to no avail. Brought the spare iMac home and discovered that i didn't know the Admin password, so couldn't use it.

Drove down to Providence with Seera (and my MacBook, to take to the Apple Store).

Got up late, opened some presents (more dark chocolate) and generally sat around doing very little. I'd been sick just before Thanksgiving, which is why i didn't go down to Providence then, and it was just hanging on all month, so i still wasn't feeling great. But i did manage to join Mark and isaiah for a dog walk in the woods.

Took my MacBook in to the Apple store and was greeted by the "Genius" by name. She ran some tests and said it needed to be shipped out to have either the garphics card or the logic board replaced. I looked at iPad Minis after my appointment, and had someone bothered to ask me if i needed any help with anything, i just mighta bought one. No one did, so i didn't. After that it was picture day.

I took Seera for a walk in the woods before lunch, then just before dinner i went out again with Seera, Java, Isaiah, and Naima to India Point Park where there was some fantastic afternoon light.

Breakfast birthday gifts for Mommy. Naima and i took Seera for a walk in the woods. Juliet came down to visit. Seera and i drove back to Vermont.
