Happy new year!

Sorry, I know I've been gone forever--and that's forever and ever in blog years. We went to Alabama for Christmas (which, more on that later), and then on to snowboarding at Mt. Hood.

This was about my fourth time snowboarding. I'm still not great, but I can more or less do it.



That's me in the foreground. On a more hilarious note, here is me in all my gear, plus a borrowed helmet. As you can see this photo was taken right before I blasted off into space.



Have you been to the Timberline Lodge at Mt. Hood? It's the one they used for exterior shots in
The Shining, and it is fairly awesome. Here is the view from the bar:



That's all I have time for right now, except for a quick GO OBAMA. But I'll be back soon.

Question

What demon do you think Dick Cheney's minions were making an unholy sacrifice to when the whole thing got out of control?

I was thinking maybe Moloch. Something nice and traditional--certainly none of those sissy Gnostic demons.
