Hey, what up?  i'm still in Portland, in the office right now.  Had a pretty cool time this weekend.  Checked out Hood River, a little town on the Columbia River Gorge and then headed up to Mt. Hood yesterday.  I think its about 11,000 ft high. There's a really old lodge half way up...it was almost snowing!  Actually, up near the summit you can ski year round....but i don't think many people do.  The little trip made me think about our ski plans, which we should definitely keep pursueing.  I apologize i'm a little out of touch up here in Portland, maybe I'll do some surfing when i get a chance.  So, this chick fun...i don't really know what it is, but i feel comfortable hanging out with her...I think maybe its just that she's pretty down to earth.  She ski's a lot and plays soccer every week, so i guess there some common interests there.  She's totally not into fancy expensive things...which is good because she's broke...want's to go back to school so she can teach.  Only other comment is that she's got a little hippie in her...but i guess you can't have everything...
 
Anyway, I took some pictures, so I'll send them to you sometime.  I have to run.  Thanks for the email. 
 
Talk to you soon.
 
Mat

Hey Matteo,

How's everything goin?  SO, I am so pumped about Utah.  I talked with my
friend Jeff and he told me so much more about Park City, skiing there, where
to go, the night life and the Sundance Festival.  He is going to write up a
bunch of stuff for us and would like to meet up with us for a day or two as
well.  We are planning on Martin Luther King weekend still??

I was thinking that maybe Brad and Heather might like to go as well.  Sent
out the invite to a few people, will know more by the end of the week.  I
say let's get the tickets and start planning.  Once I get the specifics on
ski places from Jeff, I'll have a better idea of where would be the best
place to crash.  By then maybe we will have a few more people commited and
can make a decision.  Sweet!

Also, last night I brought up the idea (to Duncan) of going to Australia in
February for a few weeks.  I know that you and Jeff have been thinking about
it.  Just thought I would let you know that we are too.

So, how did your weekend go with the chica????   love, k
