Pre-Snowboarding Entry

I'm about to hit the slopes of Mount Sunapee New Hampshire, and now that I have snowpants and waterproof gloves I should be warm enough. It'll be my first time on a snowboard, but I figure with the knee trouble I've had in the past I could give it a try instead of trying to ski this time, which I did a few times in Colorado and once in Virginia. It will be nice to be up in the mountains, too. The scenery is certainly something to look forward to and may help relieve the nerves as I'm getting on the board.

The Jewish Advocate article I wrote came out yesterday, and the editors of the newspaper and my grand aunt Lenore told me they really liked it. I'm going to be brainstorming some more story ideas and dropping off a package of clips to the newspaper next week.

Onto other news, last night I finally saw "Sideways," one of the five films nominated for best picture. It was funny, serious, and sad at times. I don't think I'll be upset if "Million Dollar Baby" or "The Aviator" win because I haven't seen those three, but this one would be worthy too. I guess I'd prefer "Ray" to win, but at least star Jamie Foxx is looking to have a great chance for Best Actor.

That's all the news I'm sharing for now, folks. I'll report back when I'm back from the mountain.
