Just finishing up a week long trip to Garmisch-Partenkirchen in the Bavarian Alps, about an hour and a half train ride or drive south from Munich. They celebrate Mardi Gras here (they call it Fasching).

Conditions were a little icy the first day, but we got dumped on the last few days and there was some decent powder off piste the past two days.

Garmisch Classic doesn’t have any beginner terrain, so I wouldn’t advise this mountain unless you’re advanced or an expert. It’s quite steep and the fricking Germans make so many turns on the damn catwalks that they become filled with moguls. Blows my damn mind. But the Kandahar is the famous run that hosts a lot of World Cup and world championship competitions for the downhill. It’s a blast.

BTW - the Germans have never heard of lining up for the lift. It’s just a clusterfrick of dozens and dozens of people pushing up against those in front, other people’s skis between your legs, trying to skip each other until you finally make it to the chair. It’s not for the faint of heart and certainly not what we’re used to in the states. You’ve got to push and block your way to the front. I don’t remember this type of social behavior in the French or Austrian Alps, but it’s been a few years, so I may just not remember. I’m hitting up Val d’Isere in France next month and can compare social norms.

Definitely take your kids on the metro. They'll love it. And it's easy to get around and much cleaner than any other metro in the country, imo.

- National Zoo
- Natural History Museum
- Air & Space Museum
- Spy Museum

Lots of great places to eat that are kid friendly.

The thing that trips up a lot of young families is the amount of walking. The National Mall doesn't look that big. And then you walk from the Licoln Memorial to the Natural History Museum and your kid has a meltdown because it's nearly a two-mile walk.

Zubimendi and Odegaard sure did pick a bad day to have their worst games.

Zubi just sucked and Odegaard played like a total pussy, minus two decent passes.

But give United credit for two incredible goals.

This Arsenal team needs someone who can take over a game and do something special.

I hope he gets denied cause he’s a fricking baller and I don’t want to have play against him again… I mean, if I’m being honest

Always Forward

LSU couldn’t run the ball against Western Kentucky. You think we would run through the steel curtain or the purple people eaters?

Finan was the best with a blade. So fast.

:bow: 100% yes.

Playing Ole Miss is September is a travesty. It should be Halloween weekend every year.

nah. Kevin Smith was at Lacey's high school on a recruiting trip. nothing more.
