In honor of the Olympics, I recorded my own rendition of "Bugler's Dream." If you've been watching the Olympics at all, you'll recognize it as it is probably burned into your eardrums by now.
The music accompanies a brief slideshow of great olympic moments from my vacation with the Windhorsts. Be sure to check out Perspicacious Girl's most recent blog entry for even more epic cabin moments (http://perspicaciousgirl.blogspot.com).
The events of the Cabin Olympics are as follows...
1.) Mario Jump
2.) Epic Pose
3.) Ninja Roll
4.) Bongo Bounce
5.) All Night Indoor Bag Toss (x2)
6.) T.P. Rachel's Car
7.) 25 Meter Float and Drink
8.) Extreme Tubing (x2)
9.) Rachel's Retrobution

Goodbye Old Friend
It is truly a sad day at the Ford Household. The time has finally come... to say goodbye to my first tv.
I remember bringing it upstairs to my room as an eager 12 year old. Oh the hours I spent in front of this thing were truly wonderful! From my first tv movie on it (Predator) to playing Nintendo and Super Nintendo on it (Final Fantasy 2, or 4... WHATEVER!), to being stored in my parents garage to its final days reposing in my studio, it's been a righteous technicolor ride.
Look at how old school this thing is! The dials have a UHF station on it... a U H F STATION!!! This is an outrage!! This is a disgrace!! (I'm still quoting random movies due to my recently being up at the cabin... more on that soon). Anyway, the tv channel crank went up to 83, and although the functionality of the connector in the back was a constant source of frustration, it was a joy to get my Nintendo to work through the phallic looking device. C'mon, you know that looks like an Amish Penis! (sorry another inside joke from the cabin... don't ask if you don't know... Believe me, you don't want to!!)
So it is with regret that I go through the necessary act of throwing away this memory box, but you can see my fond memories, sadness, happiness, love, and reget because I kissed a dusty 30 year old tv.
Here's to you RCA! You have lived long and prospered, but it is time for me to say goodbye old friend. Cheers!
