Consider this, fair friends, your notifications have been noted.  And filed for use in the future, should I need to bring up your exact quote :)

I shall briefly describe to you my past couple weeks.  Beyond that... even I hardly know.

We went skiing recently.  Recently being... end of January, beginning of February, just after a debate tournament (as in the day after).  Oh did I mention the debate tourney?  Pictures for you.


January Warm-up

ICOM did fairly well in this tournament, considering the size.  I finally broke!!!  If you know the significance there, celebrate with me?  If you don't, it means I got at least 3-3 with high speaker points and thus got to the outrounds.  Now admittedly, I did face off against the person who later turned out to be the best speaker in the tournament... but it was a split decision and I very nearly won.  Fun stuff.

The day after the tournament, Mom and I got up early to go to the airport for the flight to Albuquerque.  Uneventful.  Met up with family, skied an entire week, and returned with them to Dallas, from where we came home.  See the pictures and ask for details, I suppose.  Does not a picture tell a thousand words?  And yet, were I to use enough words, you would not need to see a picture.  I'll just say I'm lazy in those affairs.


Ski Trip

This past week, three Davis (grandmother, mother, and competitor), Joshua, and I had a long drive through Amarillo and Albuquerque (again) to reach Farmington, NM, for another tournament.  As I am yet recovering from that, you are permitted to ask for details later.  For now, rest assured that ICOM did exceptionally well that tournament and I am proud of my younger collegues for getting first and second places overall in LD.  I let them off easy :)

I would post pictures from said tournament right now, except that I cannot continue into the night, attempting to get everything just right.  Goodnight folks!
