And the trip begins. Throughout the afternoon and evening and into the wee hours of Saturday morning, ski trippers arrived at the Plimpton Lodge somewhere in the wilds of Dollywood. Their trip ended with clutches burning out on a 65 degree hill leading up to the cabin. Provisions have been stocked, but we're still not sure if there are enough two liters of soda. It's my firm belief that we'll need more. Just about everyone was scarfing down chili. No word on whether we have air fresheners for the resulting blast tomorrow.A few questions from the pre-trip surveys have been answered. Dave Schanding was the first to pass out. He went out quite early. I was the first injury at the hands of my car, although Big Jon's was more interesting as he fell down the steps. Kara has made it through day one without hatching. Right now, the MVP is the maintenance guy who came late to get the fireplace going and drop off a remote control. And the most intriguing question has been answered. Dickie Tipton is on the ski trip.

Just finished reading your blog. Enjoy your news reviews, laugh out loud. Get lost in the sports analyses. You should be a sport writer. I told you to major in journalism. Be careful going home.
