happy holidays

hey guys...

i hope you're all having a lovely winter break and nice holidays wherever you are. tahoe is lovely and snowy and perfect. i've had tons of fun snowboarding and i can now (somewhat) jump and can ride simple boxes which is very nice. and i went down my first black run on a snowboard which was very exciting...
oh...and my parents got me the most awesome christmas present. well, i think it's awesome. some people might think it's lame. basically, it's a giant book that has the most important front pages from the new york times in it. not the original pages(obviously) but scanned copies. it is so cool...my favorites are the ones from 1850-1900 b/c they are so different from what newspapers look like now. can you believe that the ny times used to be only 10 pages long? isn't that weird...
another great present was finding out that england is going to pull completely out of iraq no later than may 31, 2009...which happens to be my b-day!!! how great a b-day present would that be????
