Green Monsters
A Shade of Green: S.U.V.'s Try to Soften Their Image: "This year, Ford and Toyota plan to sell the first two hybrid sport utility vehicles. With carlike mileage expected, the advent of the hybrid S.U.V. may change the uniformly visceral antipathy to sport utility vehicles among environmental advocates, even if automakers are unlikely to sell enough hybrids to significantly reduce fuel consumption or pollution any time soon."

I'm back
Wow, I guess it's been over a week since I've posted anything here. I needed a break.
We had a great weekend. Valentine's Day snowboarding at Greek Peak - I think Breean is really starting to enjoy boarding more than skiing. I'm happy about that.
I was pleasantly surprised with the size and terrain at Greek Peak. From the web site and things I had heard from other students I expected about one or two lifts and no challenging runs. It's not Heavenly by any stretch of the imagination, but it is only 20 minutes away and there are plenty of good runs.
Sunday I had practice for a b-school basketball tournament at Georgetown this weekend. Hopefully we'll come home with a trophy this year.
