    Merry HO-HO's everyone! I hope everybody's x-mas was happy.
    So what cool DeaD stuff did everyone get?
    
    I'll start:  I got the "batik" dancin' skeleton/shake your bones Tee
                 
    The Baby Jaz got: a tie-dye "onesy" and a cool cool cool
                      "Tumbling Bears" baby blanket (courtesy of
                      her uncle LeBlanc_C) ...it won the coolest gift
                      of the year award, edging out the Dr. Suess book,
                      "One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish."

>>hope everyone had a happy one.  i decided to bag phish and go hang with some
>>friends in burlington.  had a fun time.

>did you ski mon?

i skied at stowe on 12/31.  i was planning on skiing somewhere in vermont on
1/2, but i just felt too tired on 1/1 and wanted to work on grad school
applications, so i headed home early.

we got there when the lifts opened (bright and early at 7:30 am - we chose
stowe over sugarbush because they opened earlier).  conditions were adequate
at that point - they had made snow and groomed overnight, and there weren't
any crowds at that hour.  unfortunately, the most challenging trails weren't
open because there wasn't enough snow.  as the day went on, it got more and
more crowded, and the conditions gradually deteriorated.  by 1:30 pm it was
pretty crowded and the slopes were pretty icy and since we had had already
quite a number of hours of skiing we quit early.

certainly not the most spectacular skiing, but it was nice to get out on the
slopes again.  hopefully january will see a bit more snow than december.  they
were supposed to get some on the night of 1/1.

439.12Bring on the SNOW!!!!!CSLALL::LEBLANC_CPlease don't dominate the rapJACKTue Jan 03 1995 18:567
    sounds alot like Mt Snow yesterday Rich...good fluffy snow fell in
    Keene....even caused us to back up the bus and try an alternate route
    to rte 9..per one NH state trooper.....snowed all day...musta been
    between 10 and 15 below at the summit with windchill...Beartrap and
    the north face of the mtn were skiied off heavily at the end of the
    day due to the whipping wind and a base of sheeeeeeer ice...
                   
439.13when are we gonna get a big STORM???!!!ROCK::FROMMThis space intentionally left blank.Tue Jan 03 1995 19:148
the weather was very pleasant at stowe.  apparently it had been quite windy
earlier in the week, but it was calm on saturday.  when we started skiing it
was warmer at the summit (in the 20s) than at the base (in the teens), because
the summit was in the sunlight but the base wasn't.  got to catch the sunrise
(thanks to the skywatching tips pointed out in this notes file) while driving
there.

439.16Solstice Salutations!!!STAR::ECOMAN::DEBESSSomethingNewIsWaitingToBeBornTue Dec 19 1995 18:0315
	Season's Greetings to y'all - my virtual Dead family!

	I've come to believe that this season of short days - season
	of most darkness - season of holidays, many of which are symbolized
	in some way by Light - that the place to find that Light, at this
	time of year, is inside yourself.  It seems the natural thing to
	do when it's so cold outside, and so cozy inside, sometimes, to be
	introspective and quiet...to look for the light and let it Shine!

	so, light up! ;-) and let's hope next year brings not-quite-so-much
	sadness...

	Happy New Year!
	love, Debess

    Well, I'm off to lunch with the HLO layout group and then home to pack
    for the trip to see my family in Syracuse. I'm on the road bright and
    early tomorrow morning - won't be back for 2 weeks :^). 
    Just wanted to wish my DEChead family a Happy and Peaceful Holiday Season. 
    Let's all take a minute sometime over the holidays to remember the man and
    the band responsible for bringing us all together!

Happy, happy holidays (Solstice too) to everyone.  Hope the 
season is really safe and full of good times...  

Hey /danielle....  Watertown!?  I usually tell people that 
my family's from Watertown 'cause most people have never 
heard of Carthage...  (not that a lot of people have heard 
of Watertown)... Not to mention Ogdensburg...

Peace to all.

    I've heard of 'em. I'm a Potsdam native;-). Now, how about
    Dekalb Junction, Adams, and Booneville as household names?
    
    Safe travels to everyone and happy and sane holidays, too!

This brought a smile to my face...my brother-in-law is from Massena
and is always giving me grief because I went there on a "foreign
exchange" trip in high school.

I have fond memories of touring the Alcoa plant next to the Robert
Moses power dam... :-)

    I know where Watertown is I visted my son at Ft.Drum this summer,
    he received 40 inches of snow last week. I had the pleasure of
    driving there from Marlboro MA, parts of the country never
    seen. Very nice section of New York.

    Hey now .. this promises to be another great holiday season.  My 
    two oldest kids and I will be together for the first time in 10 years
    or more.  Life being the long strange trip it is - we've been on very
    separate paths for a long time.  While we spent time together in
    various configurations, we three haven't been in the same room together
    in that long.  My other kid, the San Diego daughter won't be home this
    year.  Anyway - warm thoughts and hugs to you all and I also hope you
    all get what you wish for cuz if you try some time you get what you
    need.
