Butler 4

Well... it was a Friday night and what shall we do?Let's play ticket to ride again. So after my monumental game earlier in the week there was some discussion if 181 with 3 players is as impressive as 160 with 5 players. It's place in the record book is secure there is no question of that. The question was if there should be an "*" or not.

To be honest there is something to the debate. So to clear it up I played a five person game and ran the saddle technique again and scored huge.
In fact... I got 181 again! In the same week. What are the chances of that?
The chances are just like me... slim.

Here I am counting up what might be the most amazing ticket game in my life.
My track stretched through California skirted Mexico and up the through the south stretching all the way to Canada... but is it enough.
8 of 9 cards completed... but is it enough?

It is worthy of the hire. New record on my board 181. Which lays to waste the old record of 160.

Things are pretty rough here in NYC. I've had to take on some extra jobs to make rent. Here is some of my "work" on the side.

No the truth be known... I was just walking down the street and I looked up and saw myself. It was so crazy. For a bit I thought that someone had stole a picture of me and photoshop'd me into that space. But no, it's just someone that looks a lot like me.

Every week I get emails or people at church asking me if it's me. If some dude asks, I say no. However if a cute girl asks I say "sure is".

Eric and Ashely are here on holiday here and I swung them buy to check it out. They were quite surprised.

So if you are in Manhattan any time soon and want to see me swing by the corner of 42nd st and 5th and look up and I'm right there looking down at you.

At the top of the hill, over looking Oslo is their Olympic ski jump facility. You can see it all the way down in the city.
The drive up to the ski jump reminded me a lot of driving up to Sundance.
When we got to the jump I noticed some people were walking up the jump it self to the very top. I thought, "there is no way that those people should be walking up that jump." We were there in the evening and the museum was closed so I figured that there wouldn't be anyone around to yell at them. It looks like those pesky kids would get away with it this time.
I was looking down at the landing wondering if they had any sharks in there when I tuned to take a picture of the jump. I thought that I saw someone standing on the railing. Then that person jumped.
I was a bit confused as to what was going on... but then their shoot opened and they floated down to the ground. Turns out that it was just some Norwegians out for an evening of base jumping. It looked amazingly fun and I was jealous.

I've been popping up all over the place in Mid-Town. While walking to work I found out that I was the inspiration to the garment district's new ad campaign. I think it's a great resemblance. If you think this one is funny... stay tuned.

My new goal is to own a cannon.
