Long time...

no see. It's been quite a while since I last posted here, mainly because I'm lazy. Because it's been so long, I'll summarize events:

• I dressed up as a trustafarian for our Halloween Ultimate games, one of which we won and the other we tied.
• The Flying Disc Monsters (Discafarians) finished second overall in the fall season of Grass-roots Ultimate. The tournament was on November 19th, the Sunday before Thanksgiving. We lost our first game, won our second game quite handily, miraculously pulled off a win against the best team in the league in our third game, and had our asses kicked in the fourth and final game. We used up all our energy and skill in that win against B-1, who had been beaten only once the entire season. That win made up for losing the final game, though.
• I visited Sarah in Indiana over the Thanksgiving break. We did a whole lot of nothing, hung with out Cat, Chris, and the doodles (there are two now), and went to a tree farm just south of Bloomington where Sarah picked out a nice spruce to put up in her apartment. Travelling there was nice because neither the airport nor the plane was crowded. Coming back was another story. Luckily I got to watch several hours of Mythbusters on the plane, which made it far more bearable.
• It's damn cold here. The highs for the past few days have been in the low 20s while the lows have been in the single digits and teens. It snowed several inches here on Wednesday and Thursday morning, and again last night into this morning. It's pretty, but slippery and chilly

Here are some pictures from the events listed above, starting with Halloween -
