Vermont Weekend

Went skiing this weekend at mount snow.  Took Lori to a bed and breakfast inn.  We usually enjoy our stays at b&b`s - but this one wasn`t so great.  We initially liked our hostess , a kinda spunky older lady with a smoke-gravely voice; After a while , her spunky was just funky and annoying.
  We woke up at 6:45 in the AM to the cooks radio , apparently we resided right above the kitchen.  It was rock music , but once it makes it thru the ceiling and floor to our ears , it just sounds like muffled discordant noise: At 6:45 AM , regardless of sound quality , this wasn`t appreciated. 
  The cook was an "out there", loud and obnoxious Neo-hippy who obtrusively offered his dinner services , prior to even allowing us to taste his breakfast.  His breakfast sucked.  No cheese to goalong with the dry eggs was my complaint. Lori loved her pancakes.
  We had a cheesy little jacuzzi tub but took advantage of it two nights in a row  ; on the 2nd night Lori`s bathing was interrupted by the Hostess who said that the tub was apparently leaking
downstairs.  We promptly ceased using the jacuzzi and drained the tub , they promptly shut the
water off with no warning.  Ugghhh!
  We left on Sunday without their crappy breakfast , attempting to sleep in despite the cacophony
of the kitchen radio.  Unsuccessful , we got up and left.  I planned on taking us snow shoeing but it was 18 degrees , 40 mile per hour gusts , and snowing .  We wimped out...The drive sucked as it was icy as hell , at one point my subaru which rocks in
 the snow , was unrelentingly sliding down a hill whilst the breaks did nothing but whine. 
In slow motion we anticipated sliding into the car ahead of us. The drive didn`t get much better from there.
  Finally made it to Northampton on Sunday in anticipation of our night out to see The Clicks , a concert at Pearl St nightclub.  This is a fun little college town despite all the hippy lesbians that attend the local college.  I obliged Lori on hitting all the funky little shops , filled with mystic tarot cards, fair trade textiles , gay literature , vegan food stores , bath and body shops etc; I was even patient for the most part.  We ate Indian food at a place we have enjoyed in the past , but this time it wasn`t quite as good. Something about Indian food , as much as I love it , restaurants rarely repeat the dish exactly as you have had it before.  Well , we check into our hotel .  It was kinda nice considering it was half the cost of the B&B.  We relaxed , showered and dressed for our night out , and make it to the nightclub to find out that The concert was Cancelled.  The lead singer apparently called out Sick ! Fuck !!! Shit .... SHIT FUCK !!!
 Sorry , but this was actually the event I booked the entire weekend around.  Lori wanted to see
this band , and I liked the CD she picked up , booked this first and wrapped the rest of the crappy weekend around it.  SHIT ... FUCK!
  Our hotel happened to have a pool and a real jacuzzi , Lori and I whiled away the evening til we were wrinkly and waterlogged.  We drove home the next day , basicly laid around the house.  What a waste of a long weekend. 

  In between all the bullshit I described , their was pockets of fun.  It wasn`t all horrible.  Skiing was fun , we enjoyed one of the dinners out in vermont , the pool and
jacuzzi in the hotel was great and Lori and I , for the most part , got along well and enjoyed each
others company.
