Two Things Today

Thing the First: I went skiing today for the first time. Somehow I managed not to ever do this when growing up and aided and abetted by my husband, have decided that now that I'm close to 30, it would be a good time to start hurling myself down mountains.
Roxy snowboarding pants = awesome, Roxy snowboarding pants with butt and knee padding = even more awesomeness.

Thing the Second: Today is apparently the 10th anniversary of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea coming out. Wow. Feeling very old now. Ancient. Can hear my bones creaking as I plunge down the hill...

I'm old, part 27

Tonight, in order to make it through the Decemberists concert, I'm drinking a can of Red Bull before we go. At this rate, tomorrow I'll have to tailgate with a walker.

Wilco at the Mershon

The Wilco show last night was great, but it lasted forever. They played two encores, which was great except that in the upper balcony, it was about 4,000 degrees. And I might be getting old, because 15-minute guitar feedback solos, just don't do it for me any more. So overall, it was a good concert, but the level of fan worship (Jeff Tweedy is a God!!!) and feedback distortion left me feeling a little "eh." They did close the show with the old Thunderclap Newman song, "Something in the Air," which was nice.
