2005 SUGARBUSH Wellness Fair and Holistic Health Seminar
held March 11-15, Irasville, Vermont

The skiing was great, and the snow kept coming, but the intrepid team persevered ...

Breakfast awards: Kenny, always the fine breakfast cook, stayed near the kitchen and opted for an upstairs berth this year.

Feast kudos: Lee scored big with dinners, from rib-eye steaks (with Greg's fine Australian wine) to hot wings. With John's addition of imported Michigander kielbasa, the meals were the expected feasts. John wisely decided to leave behind the kielbasa cooler; better that than having it as a smelly guest for the 13-hour drive home.

Most tows in a day: Bob wins this one hands down. From his I-89 off-road adventure to his ditch ride on Glenview, he, more than anyone else, needed a beer upon his arrival.

Dominoes fever: I forget who won (probably because I did so poorly), but I seem to remember Peter showing us all up.

A shit to remember: Newcomer to this trip (yet an old-timer to many of us), Jack finally connected with the boys on the mountain -- after the team inadvertantly left him on the house crapper.

Sore fingers club: Jack, Chaz, Jim, Ken & Steve provided the musical interludes. Copious amounts of Herradura and Corazon helped numb their fingertips and probably enabled everyone else to tolerate the good, the bad and the squeaky. All I know is, even Greg and Lee were singing, so something struck a chord....

I am open to more memorable moments, if any of you would care to add a line or three. These are just some highlights that immediately came to mind ...

Most spirit this year: The slimmed down Chaz (50 pounds lighter). He treated us all with Bahama Mamas, Hurricanes in test tubes, whiskey sours and his usual Bookahs! Yup, Chaz outdid himself this year, and he dressed the part, right down to the NEW PANTS!

Great skiing on Sugarbush!

 
Bob had left, but you get the idea.

   

 
Nothing like a pile o' meat!

Yes, they came, they crooned
