Everest

After trekking home from the bus through unplowed walks in freezing temps, it was only right that Jake & I curl up to watch our favorite documentary Expedition on Everest on the Discovery Channel.

We booed big Tim Medvetz for being a pain in the butt and cheered when "asthmatic" Mogens Jensen finally agreed to use to oxygen in his 3rd attempt at Everest. It is really striking how these men risk their lives and give up all financial security just to "summit". Seems redunkulous to me but I won't go anywhere without my space heater and coffee creamer.

Oooh I love documentaries! My favorite one is on Air Force One, from National Geographic! I always get excited when the Main Steward, says, "It's all part of the J.O.B."
I love it!
