Say Cheese

If I had to pick my number one favorite memory from all of our time overseas I would not hesitate to name attending the Gloucester Cheese Rolling contest.  I wrote about it last year, but wasn’t able to share my video with you until this very special moment.

Cheese Rolling Contest 2008, 2nd Race.  I was there!!!

And that’s it for October – Month of Videos.

Happy Halloween!

We interrupt this month of programming to bring you this special Halloween post

I wasn’t going to post anything to interrupt OCTOBER:  MONTH OF VIDEOS, but I have to share with you this hilarious rant by Mr. Don Mills on his continually funny blog, The Problem With Young People Today Is.

His Halloween post, Affronts to Old People #7: God Damned Teenage Trick-or-Treaters, left me rolling AND cackling:

“Few things chaff my thighs more than damned teenagers who don’t know when to hang up the pillowcase and stop trolling for free candy on Halloween.

I have no objection to doling out some boxed raisins or wintergreen lozenges to a damned 3-year old in a Garfield costume but I get pretty incensed when some pock-marked 17-year old smelling of old bong water and sloth shows up at my door with a insolent scowl and a demand for free food.”

Ben Nevis – upupupupupupup

I was very proud to make it all the way up Ben Nevis, the tallest mountain in the UK.  The Husband and I have some pictures we’re really happy with, but nothing shows the scale like a recording.  Here are three.

While climbing – we’re going up there!

The summit and observatory ruins.

Another view.  Like heights?
