Extreme Bingo
Last night Steph and I decided to spend the evening playing Bingo for the first time. Well, it was my first time playing. Steph still had Bingo calluses from years ago so I knew I was in good hands. We had some really good Thai for dinner to re-energize and headed to the local church in Watertown. The mood was surly and the blue-hairs were on edge when they saw us youngsters enter the auditorium. We knew chances of winning were low seeing as how we were late, we only bought two books of Bingo cards and our dabbers still weren't broken in. None the less, we took our seats and started marking our numbers. Action was hot and heavy and we were close a few games but it was getting late and only a couple games remained. Could we yell "Bingo" and win some cold hard cash before the end of the night? Yes! At exactly 8:53 pm Steph filled in I23 for a prime Bingo! There were boo’s, sighs and even death threats from the retiree’s but we kept our ground and received a cash prize of $300! Seriously though, it was a lot of fun! Here are some pictures from the evening.

Utah

The picture above would indicate Utah is quite the drinking town. Well, as I found out, it's not! Most of the beer was near-beer and watery. We found a few good pubs in Park City (where we stayed) but the booze there was pretty weak at less than 4%. Utah has some weird liquor laws including a bar "membership" which is a fancy way of saying "cover without entertainment."
Anyway, the trip was great! Skiing, hanging out in the hot-tub with friends, sightseeing (I was blown away by the mountains!), visiting downtown Salt Lake and just chilling out... it was all good. Here are my photos from the trip but Brendan has many more, plus a better synopses on his site, here.

Marblehead

This past weekend Steph and I spent a relaxing day in Marblehead (a small seaport town here in MA) and had a really good time. I brought along my new digital camera, the Canon SD200. It's an ultra portable camera with a good focal length but like a lot of consumer digital camera's, it lacks depth of field and had a hard time with skin tones. Anyway, enough tech talk... here are a few pictures from the trip!
