The Grange is one of my favorite bars! Owners are awesome and they pour the best Guinness pint, hands down!

I almost hate to admit this, but I didn’t shower last night. When I got in to my house it was 58 F (!) because I hadn’t switched my thermostat to heat because I didn’t expect it to get that cold. Because of this I went into the basement (it’s always warmer-in-the-winter / cooler-in-the-summer down there) to watch the game and fell asleep doing so. This morning’s shower was fantastic!

You’ll more than likely see me again there next year, hopefully we’ll have better weather too.

Glad you survived the ride home, Paulie. I thought I might have seen some small flurries as I was outside walking Nolan out of his crying jag at 3am Sunday morning, but I couldn’t tell for sure – light drizzle and small snowflakes look about the same in a headlamp at that time…

LEAF is definitely more enjoyable with nice weather – I’m glad Sunday gave you a glimpse of what it can really be like. On the plus side, how good did that hot shower feel last night? Hopefully we’ll see you there again next year.

I agree, those zipline kids were crazy! Flying half-naked into a lake when you can see snow on the mountain next door is just plain nuts.

@Romanlily – Sorry I didn’t run into you either. I looked for you, especially when we stood inside the dance hall for a (cajun I believe) band. I spent most of my time shivering, waiting for beer/food, or listening to storytellers. I didn’t know that we had flurries, but I am not surprise. I was surprised to see kids do the zip line into the lake.

I realized early in my journey Friday that I packed only my hiking boots for shoes — great for cold weather, notsomuch for dancing.

@Barb – Good episode including our first “Oh crap, we’re going to need another car.” moment. I won’t tell you who finished first but I will tell you that it’s probably pretty easy to get through life being one of the “pretty people.” I think you will enjoy the episode — especially when they go into a skiing area built inside a Dubai building.

Glad to made it to LEAF and back. I wish I had run into you there. I kept looking for you. Wow, that place is huge. I spent most of my time either in the family camping area or in the dance hall.

I enjoyed LEAF, but holy crap, I packed very stupidly. The heaviest clothing I brought was a couple of fleece jackets. No hats, gloves, scarves, thermal underwear… So I just about froze to death the entire weekend. Did you know that LEAF actually got some snow flurries on Saturday night?!

The dancing was utterly transcendent. My buddies and I are planning to return in the spring for that reason alone. I’m told by LEAF vets that the weather is rarely that nasty and cold. Let’s hope they’re telling the truth!

I just watched The Amazing Race this morning. I fell asleep watching the Falcons game. I wish that CBS would realize how frustrating Sunday evening program watching is for us on the East Coast in the Fall. I’m certain that The Amazing Race would benefit from being on a different night in the Fall because it never seems to start on time.

I don’t buy something from Amazon every day but I hate not being able to log in. I thought about starting a new account but my purchase history is invaluable especially when printing receipts for insurance purposes. Amazon and Chase have been horrible at communicating with me so the only way that I think I’ll find out that my account has been reinstated is by logging in successfully.

Barb, please send me your mechanic’s phone number and address (again). I’m planning on taking it there to get some service done soon.

I’m glad you didn’t do a Amazing Race recap – with the Falcons on & it being delayed over an hour (due to your Jets-Bills game) I didn’t watch it last night.
I just love that I have to record the entire Sunday CBS lineup to be sure to watch 1 program.

Do you really buy something from Amazon everyday? Maybe if you quit trying to log in, it will unfreeze? Or – start a whole new account?
