Hey all,
I feel very inadequate compared to all the interesting things people have been updating about recently. No, I haven't traveled across the world or looked at any new apartments or been to presidential inaugurations. However, I have been living the very upstate New York kind of life. Well first of all, I went skiing for the first time a few weeks ago. I came out remarkably unscathed. The hardest part of skiing isn't the actually skiing part, but figuring out how to get on and off the dang ski lifts. I fell 4 times that day and 3 of them were getting on or off of the ski lifts. In 2 weeks, I'll be skiing again with Tonys family. They're coming to the Ithaca region for the weekend, so it should be nice. If the weather is going to be Syracuse-ish, I might as well have something to do while its gross out (though today is 55 degrees..so who knows!).
Secondly, I went on a cow vaccinating expedition. Penny (a vet who works at my clinic) partially owns a dairy farm (with her family) and my coworker Cetta wanted to help out with vaccines and seeing as though I've never vaccinated a cow before, I thought it would be exciting. And it was! and also very very very gross. I didn't catch ringworm which is good because apparently its fairly common to get ringworm after working with calves. Anyways, I got to tag and tattoo about 35 jersey cow calves . I can now cross that off my list of things to do in life.
Well, I'm veryexcited to hear of tentative plans to see some of you guys soon. I miss you all a bunch!

what are you talking about? Vaccinating cows is interesting!
I hope to see you soon (and Tony too!)
Cows and skiing are indeed quite exciting! Most likely smelly on the first account, but certainly noteworthy. Sounds fun :)
