well, it's been a long but really great first two weeks as a gainfully employed taxpayer...well, the taxpaying part actually sucks but the gainfully employed part is nice. the newspaper keeps me jumping....i'm getting more assignments than any sane man could handle....luckily i'm not sane, so it's no problem. the town is gorgeous. the skiing is incredible. the peeps at the paper are awesome. here are some pics from my first couple days on the job:
