It was a snowy day at Sugarbowl yesterday when Markasuarus went skiing with the Bay Area Ski Bus. Not that I didn’t enjoy it. While everyone else was complaining about how it was snowing and cold and huddling in the lodge, I was out enjoying the winter weather. I did manage […]

Mark
15 Jan 2008  
>> San Francisco
