Snowshoe Mountain West Virginia

We made it out to Snowshoe Mountain to start stretching our ski legs. Snowshoe is a fun resort with plenty to do. The first picture was the view from our hotel room and the second is of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in West Bank, West Virginia. The weather was a little warm and the holidays are always crowded anywhere. Looking forward to going back when Snowshoe is less crowded and has a little more snow :)

Browns Ravens Game in Baltimore

I was able to check out the Cleveland Browns the other day against the Baltimore Ravens. Its been a couple years since I've been able to catch a Browns game. It only took a couple years to figure out I need to buy my tickets the summer before the season starts... Next time, see if we can get some seats a little closer to the action :)

O to be an eBay Millionaire some day...

Well, not exactly millionaires at this yet... But, we keep trying... This Christmas season looks like the Wii is the big winner! Our Wii auction got over 854 on the visitor counter. The PS3, not so much :) Elmo was so so... Still fun to eBay and watch the auctions...

My eBay PS3 Buy It Now

Jeannie and I were lucky to find a PS3 bundle for the holiday season. And yes, we have an eBay auction going for the bundle. Actually it was Jeannie's luck that got us the system. It is a cool setup with a blu-ray player, hard to give up for eBay... Maybe we'll pick one up later on, but for right know we're hooked on Xbox 360's Gears of War. Hopefully we can find a buyer for our eBay PS3 auction :)

My First Trip Door Busting on Black Friday

We thought we'd check out the local Best Buy in Cleveland for some Black Friday door busters. We had our eye on a few Xbox games and some Ipod speakers.

What I couldn't believe is 1.) I got up at 4:30 a.m. and 2.) the hundreds of other people already in line!? The line almost wrapped around the entire store!!!

Was fun to run in with the others for what everyone wanted and the Best Buy I was at had a friendly staff on hand, ready to help locate what I was looking for. It was fun and worth it, at least for some Xbox games and Ipod speakers :)

some pics I took inline with my camera phone...

2006 ADA Walk Fundraising

I wanted to send out a thank you for everyone's support and helping me raise $250 for the ADA 2006 Walk. Which brings my total to $485 for the ADA this year between the 2006 walk and ride. Below is a link to my picasa web album for a couple pictures taken at the event. The walk started in front of the Capital for some good pictures. It was a nice walk and look forward to next year.

ADA Tour de Cure Fundraising

I wanted to send out a personal thank you for everyone's support and helping me raise $235 for the ADA. The Reston Tour de Cure raised more than $280,000 for diabetes research, education, and advocacy. This pictures was taken after I completed the 32 mile loop on the WO&D bike trail from Reston town center to Leesburg. It was a fun ride and look forward to next year's event June 10, 2007. I'd recommend any bike rider consider coming out next year.

Nationals Picnic in the Park - June 11, 2006

Last Sunday the National's had a picnic in the outfield after the Phillies game for the season ticket holders. It was quite the party with complimentary food and a gift hat with blanket. Plus the chance to lounge around in the outfield of a major league park. The players and manager were on hand for autographs and a question answer session. Below are the pictures I took with my camera phone.

jeannie gets her new bicycle .::. part ii

It was another great day for cycling in northern Virginia today. It had been awhile since we've had a chance to get out and so we headed towards the Cross County Trail (CCT) in Oakton first. We found a nice section, but it turned into difficult dirt path. More of a mountain bike trail then a bicycle path.

We then headed over to the WO&D trail in Reston. It was smooth sailing going east, but coming back west, into the wind was challenging. Good to get out on the bikes again.

Skype :: Free calls within the US and Canada to all phones!

Interesting concept and a good way to save some molla. Skype calling is totally free. It's also free to call landlines and mobiles within the US and Canada until the end of the year! Of course I'm signed up, friends over at eBay bought the company and are promoting. Check it out & chat with me...

final four in indy

Dad and I met up out in Indianapolis for the Men's basketball Final Four. We had fun watching the games and checking out what was going on in Indianapolis for the weekend.

The pictures of the stage are from downtown Indianapolis circle and Hooboastank was the first act we saw. The other picture is of Nick Lachay in town (sorry ladies I couldn't get a better shot).

The pictures of the Pontiac GTOs are from out at the Brickyard at Pontica's 'Grab the Keys' test drive. We got to test drive one of the cars, but it rained on us and we weren't able to finish test driving all the cars.

It was a fun weekend and we're putting in for next years games in Atlanta.
