Instant Hangover Cure

Having sensibly abandonded the car at the Hawthorne Suites last night we decided to work off our hangovers by cross-country skiing across the fields to retrieve it. As can be seen from the photos it was a glorious sunny day. What the photos don't reveal is that it was minus 15 C with a biting wind that penetrated any tiny crack in your clothing. I was glad of my new beard to keep my face warm. Anyway it was fun, cross country skiing is just about the best way to exercise that I can think of.

At journey's end Janet's photo brief was to capture the new "Grizzly Adam" look, including the impressive icicles that had formed on my moustache during the skiing. Erm, this is what resulted...

Basement Days Re-visited

It was the somewhat belated staff Christmas Party yesterday. The drinking began at 4.00pm round at Sean's house so I was somewhat the worse for wear by the time these pictures were taken in our basement sometime after midnight... earlier I was very ill-advised and tried to sing Bohemian Rhapsody on the karaoke, ouch. The star of the show was our mechanic Jonah who did a perfect Axl Rose impression that had everyone in stitches, in fact we were so impressed we re-convened back at our house and turned up the amps for a reprise!

As you can see from the photo quality Janet had a few also. Here's Sean "singing" Harvester of Sorrow. This was about the time that Gregg stomped on his bass drum so hard he broke the skin...

Jonah and Trish doing Sweet Child 'o Mine, while I do my best to look like The Edge out of U2 with my ski hat on and beard (the sounds were'nt coming out as good, sadly)

T-6

Janet and Sean flew to Delaware to pick up this T-6 that is coming to the Museum. It is one of only two that are known to exist that actually flew with the Tuskegee Airmen during WW2. It is probably the only plane known to exist that is registered in Delaware and actually in Delaware... everyone else registers their plane there as a tax-dodge.
