More Snow & I Am Legend

Well, we are getting a little more white stuff today. It's good and bad I guess. Good, because it covers up the dirty, massive piles of snow that are clogging the sidewalks and parking spots. Good, because it means more base for when I actually get out on the ski slopes. I was going to head out today to Mt. Sunapee for a day (only $49 on Thursdays....that's a deal these days!) but I took my skis in to get waxed and buffed and they're not done yet:( Bad, because well.....it's MORE SNOW! Boston did such a poor job getting stuff cleared the first time it dumped that there are a lot of problems now....see the previous sentence about the clogged sidewalks and parking spots.

I saw I Am Legend yesterday, the heavily hyped film with Will Smith as "The Last Man on Earth". It's kinda funny because the previews make it seem like he doesn't know that there are other things out there but you realize very earlier on that he knows.....oh yes, he knows. The premise is this, a cancer cure delivered to the body through viral means has killed much of the population of Earth. If you're not dead or immune (a very small portion), then you're....well, an interesting creature. Will Smith plays a immunologist who is searching for a cure to this viral infection and just happens to be immune too....LUCKY! The movie is basically about his days in NYC with his dog, Sam (a little twist on that in the movie) which is pretty cool since NYC is deserted and he can just do whatever he wants. He is obviously starved for company and is losing his mind a bit. He comes up against these "other" humans and has to find his way out of it. That's all I am gonna say. Just see it.....it's good. There are some freaky parts, lots of wandering around in dark places, and jumpy type scares occasionally but very action packed for the most part. Even the more boring parts are there to give you an idea of the routine that Smith follows to keep from going insane. I enjoyed it and would give it an A-.

I am heading off to St. Maarten with my family on Sunday to celebrate Xmas week in the sun and sand. It will be chock full of swimming, tanning, eating, and fun I am sure. It will be nice to get out of the snow for sure and hopefully they'll get a couple of warmer days up here in Beantown to melt some of it. Til then.....Ho, Ho, Ho and away I go!
