We’re still at the house in Killington.. the internet here is pretty shaky… I’m doing it over my cellphone.. so I’ll be brief. We’re staying in a huge house just off the trails. It’s a great place for the kids.. they can ski or board right from here. What’s more, it has a cool macot:<\/p>\n

Sam would have dug this place. <\/p>\n

   <\/span>Yesterday everyone was pretty tired. I think we were all asleep by midnight<\/st1:time> which is unusual for this crowd. . I woke this morning around 8ish  <\/span>and there was already a big breakfast going<\/o:p><\/p>\n

After breakfast, the kids and some of the adults went out to ski\/board, but Matt had to stay in the house because of his broken leg.. poor guy. Tim, Diane and I went out snowshoeing.. We hacked around in the woods for awhile but we kept running into houses. . We eventually found a direction that took us away from people . The woods and the snow were beautiful. At one point I got tuck by a fallen tree and fell in to my waist.   <\/span>As we hiked a weird thing happened to me .. I started seeing an intense red and blue glowing aura (for lack of a better word) over the snow as I walked.  <\/span>It looked like licks of flame…  <\/span>It stuck around for several minutes despite blinking, looking away, etc.. Diane couldn’t see it either. Not sure what it was. But  <\/span>it sure  <\/span>was pretty..( also pretty freaky). We also found a tree with some great bark scars that looked like eyes:<\/p>\n

 <\/span>Just as we were lcoming out of the woods, we happened to run into Gabe, Sumner and Brittany on a small side trail.. which is a pretty funny coincidence given that there’s 80 mies of trail here.  <\/span>I realized that I kept looking around for Sam..   <\/span>again, he would love it here.. <\/p>\n

 <\/o:p>   <\/span>We got back around 12 and everyone started showing up for lunch.. Another big spontaneous meal;  <\/span>Diane made grilled cheeses and Deb had made some Clam chowder\u2026 Delicious  <\/span>The food had lots of personality !<\/p>\n

 \"Photobucket<\/a><\/o:p><\/div>\n

 <\/o:p> <\/span>After lunch everyone went on their own ways. Diane went skiing with Jen and I stayed behind and slept and read.. It was really peaceful This house has a big TV with cable.. I know that most houses have cable.. but I just couldn’t live with it. It’s not that I hate it .. it’s that I love it. When it’s on, I’m drawn to it.. and can’t do anything else. If we had cable in our house, I’d be useless. I wonder how people who do have TV get anything done\u2026. But they seem to. I kept having to make myself walk away\u2026   <\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span>Luckily this is a big house with lots to look at. I spent some time going through the book shelves.. I really think you can understand a lot about people by looking at what’s on their bookshelves (or Ipods \u2013 Ivy J<\/span><\/span> ).. By their books, these folks are in their 70’s, highly educated., politically liberal, have a good sense of humor and are probably Jewish (mom ? dad ? ) ..   <\/span>Here’s a book I particularly liked seeing.<\/p>\n

It’s quieting down now.. Deb was reading us dumb jokes from a book. Now Tim’s teaching folks how to play poker. I Figured I’d write now.. because I’m not sure if I’ll be able to upload tonight..   <\/span>We’re heading back to Richmond<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> tomorrow.. then coming back to Rutland<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> to pick Max up from the train..  <\/span>Time to go help with dinner\u2026.. Fajitas.. one of Sam’s  <\/span>favorites,  <\/span>We’ll hold hands and welcome you in  <\/span>before we eat, Sam.<\/p>\n

 <\/o:p>Ps. Tomorrow’s town meeting.. please remember to vote !<\/p>\n
