it's not just highlights anymore. if it was, that would be fine.
The highlights back in the day on MNF were great. I hate the "experts" but not as much as I hate the guys on Sunday morning recreating plays on the faux indoor field.
Oh. yeah. I know what you're talking about. That part is stupid.
Because they cover silly sports like nascar, hockey, and basketball.

Check out Skamania Lodge before/after Multnomah. They have a gorgeous spread and it might be fun to grab a cup of hot chocolate by the giant fire place. Kid friendly.Eh, have had some kinda ugly extended family stuff this year, so we told both sides we're doing our own thing for Christmas. Wife went to HR with some girlfriends a few years back and really liked it, so suggested we head up there (we're in Central Oregon). Staying at a cheap little lodge on the Columbia. Going to a Christmas Eve service, then out to dinner. Christmas day we're gonna brave the cold and sleet and take the boy to Multnomah Falls, hike around, get some pics. He's really into Amazing Race so I put together a kind of "Hood River Amazing Race" for that day, with clues and tasks and such. After we finish that off we'll watch movies and play games and snack in our room. Low key, but I think it'll be fun.Sweet! What are you guys doing in Hood River? One of our favorite tasting rooms is in Hood River - Naked Winery. Excellent wines and they have Double Mountain on tap. Fantastic place.Nice.Wife, son, and I will be across the Columbia in Hood River over the weekend. Enjoy Skamania.
ETA: Jack squat open Christmas day, but making a note of Naked Winery for a more romantic trip later. :boomchickabrowncow:
Also, Full Sail has a nice restaurant in Hood River. If open, might be worth your time. Again, kid friendly. I really like Hood River.
I think I missed the first part.Car accident or finished Christmas shopping?Sleep study?
For the car? Oof. What else was wrong other than the quarter panel?
Ooooof. Insurance?Why are you posting as Bart?
My uncle has a country house.
She ran into a pole. In a parking lot. Going forward.
I don't know. Killing me.
Yep, cost me a grand plus the future hikes. I posted something that was apparently over the line.

That Skamania spread does look amazing, but we're on a budget. Full Sail was my first choice, but closed Christmas and closing early Christmas Eve.Check out Skamania Lodge before/after Multnomah.

Hot chocolate at Skamania does sound like a winner though. 
I would be up for September 10 (v. Nevada). The only thing that would prevent our coming would be if my company's in the midst of our IPO, in which case you could just give the tickets to friends (we'd be paying you back for those plus treating you to wine, food, etc. during this as a thank-you anyway).Hey, if we want to get a little cornhole together for a Ducks game, I would for sure be down with that. But getting tickets will be tough and I'd need to know well in advance to get the best deal. Otherwise, we'd be stuck negotiating with craigslist/scalpers. I have two tickets, but can put in for more on any single game. Just need a heads up.Party it up hard in Eugene post game, then meander our way through wine country on the way back to Portland the next day, finishing with some great food and drink in Portland. Could be a lot of fun!:bookmark: for next summer.General Malaise said:Wife and I are leaving town Christmas day (first time she's been in Portland for Xmas) to head down the Gorge and stay here that day/night. Love this place and think I might have mentioned it to you a while back. Tremendous food, huge fire places, great place to sit and read and just relax. Cannot wait.krista4 said:After going to see my family at Thanksgiving and then a trip to Mr. krista4's family for Christmas, Mr. proposed the following: next year we fix Thanksgiving and invite anyone and everyone to join us if they wish. At Christmas we go to a beach somewhere and also invite anyone to join us. I agreed except for nixing the "invite anyone to join us" part on Christmas.YMMV based on having kids, though. But the holidays are for the birds, IMO. Love my family and want to see them, but no need for it to be at this insane point in the year.BobbyLayne said:Am I the only one with a mega-stressed out wife? The holidays ar e driving her bonkers - bunch of out-of-towners flying in, planning dinner, accommodations.
Biggest reason I want to get a country house is 1) place to summer, and 2) get through the last 6 weeks of the year without killing each other.
I'm 180 out from G.M. right now...life is not good. I cannot get upset about things that are beyond my control. I just shrug and move onto to something I can change or fix. Drives Mrs. BL crazy (truth be told, anything I did right now would probably piss her off - she is in impossible to get along with mode).
Cheers anyway.
Me too. Im deciding between him and Ryan Fitz against the Pats. Thoughts?

What's this all about?
Man is that good stuff. I really need a nap. Merry Christmas GB.
That is great news.
him and Cutler for me. The Texans have no defense, so I'm really leaning Tebow. Would probably go Tebow over Fitz also
YOU'RE INVITED TOO!
My son is 6 and goes ape poo for it. We do it around the house all the time, and once in a while even around town. This is the first time we're doing one in another town.I found these Amazing Race clue templates via Google: Amazing Race Templates (Sometimes I love middle age hausfraus). So his Amazing Race clues/tasks are things like following me in some exercises first thing in the morning, finding the local hospital and visiting with and giving a gift to one person who's alone Christmas Morning, going to a local trail I read about and counting how many steps it takes to cross the bridge over the creek, going to another trail and checking out an old highway tunnel that's part of the trail, and going to Multnomah Falls so Mom can take pics. Puzzles and brain teasers and stuff as part of the clues. Anyway, it'll end up back at the lodge so he can unwrap his biggest gift, which will be his prize for completing the Hood River Amazing Race.The Hood River Amazing Race sounds like a really cool idea!Eh, have had some kinda ugly extended family stuff this year, so we told both sides we're doing our own thing for Christmas.
