Last night after work (Thursday), Ash and I drove up to our friends Derek and Jenny’s cabin in South Lake Tahoe. It took us 10 hours with traffic to get here, and we arrived around 5am. Since I love roadtrips, it felt like 4 hours. Time passes quickly when you travel with good friends. And finally, a cool evening compared to the heat in Southern California
We woke up this morning and went out on the boat to the middle of the lake. We turned the motor off and just lay back and napped. It was perfect! So quiet, and the sun was just warm enough. We did some inner tubing before heading back to the dock. It was around 5pm.
Right now, everyone is asleep in the cabin, taking power naps before the partying starts (our parties are the type you have to prepare for, physically and mentally). I couldn’t just sleep away the dusk, so I walked down to the water (about 200 yds) and now I’m sitting in the (closed) coffee shop, enjoying the view:

Hello all my readers! So I know that the two of you have been desperately missing updates on this crazy blog, so here it is! Well, 2006 was a big year. We moved to California, had half my face paralyzed for a while, and even bought a house/learned about debt! But enough of the small stuff, I’m going to tell you about new years up in Big Bear. You see, our friend Adriana,
has a cabin,
and we all drove up to spend New Year’s in the closest thing California has to a winter. On the first day, everyone went snowboarding. Not the kind to be left behind, Ashley and I decided to go as well, borrowing extra snowboarding gear from almost everyone in the cabin.
This was our first time snowboarding. Nevertheless, I’ve decided that snowboard is too easy of a sport. It lacks technique and it’s just not fast enough. So, I decided to invent my own sport, faceboarding.
You heard me, faceboarding is it. Why use an expensive, questionably-colored snowboard (a snowplank, if you will) when you can go downhill on your face like I do?
You may be wondering if I have any pictures of faceboarding, and sadly, I don’t. No camera is capable of capturing the speed of a faceboarder like me. Just imagine an skydiver, but put that skydiver face down on a slope. That’s pretty much how you faceboard.
You’ll be hearing more about faceboarding as this year rolls along. We have a trip to Colorado and a trip to Mammoth mountain planned. Stay tuned!
Oh, and Happy New Year!
