WE WENT TO BURRMONT FOR NEW YEARS!! (pt. 1 of 2)

Gogo Jones

Okay, so if that combination of all caps and terrible word play didn’t piss you off then I don’t know what will. Perhaps this?? Anyways, Miss Gilhool (Kate) and I landed a co-babysitting job in Vermont this past weekend, and this post is basically a highlight reel of what happened.

For those of you who know me, I’m a pretty big hater of the Northeast and would give a pinky to see palm trees instead of scraggly oaks 24/7. HOWEVER, I must say Vermont is a very scenic state and I can always dig some frosted pines and dilapidated syrup shacks.

Wrestling Season Kicks Off

In this, the last Armchair Athlete of the 2011 calendar year, our subject is the new wrestling season. The wrestling team’s 2010-2011 year was full of ups and downs to say the least. Projected in the preseason to continue their dominance from a 22-3 2009-2010 campaign, last year’s squad went 7-14 with fewer FCIAC State award recipients. However, there were some signs of hope last year, as a strong underclass combined with a surprise FCIAC bid has set them up for some high expectations for the upcoming year.

I was late to the Twitter party, try 5 years late, but honestly, it’s better late than never. I didn’t get it until last spring because I didn’t understand the purpose of it. I also didn’t know how to do it so I held back; a perfect example of how lazy our generation is. But no worries, it only takes a little bit of snooping to figure it out, and once you do you will not be disappointed.
