One of my friends died in Nicaragua. Fell a long way off a cliff. Hiking the volcanoes can be dangerous. Other than that, beautiful country.

sorry man, rough way to go. volcano boarding is apparently a pretty new thing down there, like you hike up and then board down. pretty much the only thing on my must do list right now, only place in the world to do it. i think it's pretty regulated now though. hopefully.

Got back last night...the SB weekend crowd was bigger than in years past by a lot. Saturday night it was nearly impossible to find a spot at a craps table or blackjack table. The only open spots were at the big money tables...I ain't playing craps on a $50 or $100 table.

Friday night and Saturday afternoon were good...Saturday night and Sunday sucked. Losing all SB bets and it not even being an exciting game was a downer. I got blind drunk afterwards. Ended up partying with a group of Aussie chicks on a bachelorette party and showed one of them how the ceiling and headboard in my room looked.

Monday was nothing but craps and basketball betting....

Can't wait for March Madness

i suggest everyone take a trip to nicaragua if you can. beaches, jungle, islands, cities. all amazing. not touristy at all , beautiful weather all the time and cheap as farg. most fun two weeks i've ever had.

ha, i'm almost all healed. my only mishap of the trip. lost control of a motorbike while going down this long ass driveway to the hostel i was staying at on the beach. hit a huge pothole and spun out into a barbed wire fence. ended up just being some deep cuts and bruises on my right arm and collarbone area. but if those wires were an inch or two higher that ish would have cut my head off or hit my jugular. i got very very lucky. chicks were digging it though.

Those were some impressive bruises/cuts.

So rather than being in Philly this weekend for the AI thing...I get to go to farging Buffalo for a customer relations trip! We get to go touring lumber mills.

Maybe I will bring Dio a goddamn Bills shirt back.

Diomedes

Sounds fun.  I'd like to tour a few lumber mills, too.  In my J.P. Losman Authentic.

Last time I was there we went to Bills-Browns and it was a 6-3 game. I wanted to hang myself.

Brian Moorman their old punter was one of the most popular jersey's I saw!

Diomedes

Ha.  As a guy who has only ever owned two jerseys--one for a farging kicker--and given them both away, I know these people.  They are not unlike the poor bastiches I handed my dumbass costumes down to.

The tailgating there was pretty good and the stadium is set in a neighborhood type setting. So most people park in people's yards for $20-50. My coworker told me that's how many people pay their property taxes and summer vacations - Bills game day parking .

Cool setting and Bills fans know how to party.

My saving grace this weekend is I will get to drink a lot of Molson.

Diomedes

And hang out in lumber mills.  Don't forget the lumber mill part.
