Brrrrr

Christmas II at Mrs. BGA's sister's house found us spending the night at a motel chain you've heard of but that shall not be mentioned. I don't know how cold it was outside last night – suffice it to say it was really cold – but it was even colder in the room. A lot colder. It was cold enough, in fact, that That Certain Hanover High grad went to sleep with a down vest, knit cap and mittens on. (I had gloves and a hat on.) And you most certainly did not want to walk on the bathroom floor in bare feet. We turned the heat on high, and when That Certain woke up this morning she was amazed to find her down vest on the floor, still zipped up. Turns out she had Houdini'd her way out of it without the vest without realizing it.

Sometimes you get what you pay for and this goes down as one of those times. Hey, at least that Vegas-type wallpaper was, um, interesting ;-)

In case you are still looking for that perfect gift for a Dartmouth football fan (or not-so-perfect gift) how about a wind-up Dartmouth football music player?
