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.
