Snow

Wet snow two days ago whilst I was traveling home from Trumbull, CT. Yesterday there was a bit of snow flaky goodness on the wife's car in the AM.

Today, I just tuned into the Patriots game on the tele and wow...it's snowing hard enough that you can't tell where the yard-lines are on the field.

I hope this is a sign of things to come. I don't care how hard the snow makes my life. I'll pay the electric heat bill. Just give me feet upon feet of the white stuff. Makes me happy!

Maine Primitive Gathering

I have just returned from the Maine Primitive Gathering. Leah and I spent the weekend up there learning all sorts of new things; Birdcalling, plant identification, trading blankets, etc... all cool stuff.

I got to meet a lot of interesting people who share the same interest of relearning some of the lost arts from 'primitive' times. Personally I partook in learning some flintnapping, blacksmithing, knife making, plant identification, bird calling, an archery tournament (borrowed a bow), potluck dinner, and of course camping.

The gentleman teaching the flintnapping is actually known as one of the top flint-nappers in the world, an experience I was not about to pass by. I also got to meet Mr. Arthur Haines, one of the top plant experts in the world as well.

The experience in itself was totally awesome and I look forward to hopefully spending more time with these people learning new skills. I just wish it was a bit closer than Maine.
