9 IMLPs on a Quest for Good Waffles?

http://edholden.com | CC BY-NC 2.0Ok, so we don't work all the time... (We really must sound like work-a-holics.) Don't get me wrong, a job on the IMLP program does take a time commitment, but we need to have something fun to do in our spare time. So, for one weekend we decided to head up to Stowe, VT for some Spring Weather skiing and snowboarding.

For this trip we had IMLPs from a handful of GE businesses, including: NBC, Capital, and Corporate, coming from New York City, Crotonville (Corporate Training Facility), Albany, NY, Danbury, CT, and Stamford, CT. So, we all took a half day on Friday and started the long journey. I had forgotten how a 6 hour car ride can really fly by when you are surrounded by a group of your friends and laughing at the stupid things people do while driving (Here's to you, lady who was swerving from lane to lane as you read a book).

An IMLP Winter in California

Well, with Hanukkah upon us and with Christmas and New Years around the corner, I couldn't help but think about what the weather is going to be like in New York when I return for the holidays. As of now, it has rained for a grand total of 5 days spread across the entire 5 months I've been out here in California. The coldest it's been was around 40 degrees, and that's only at night and early mornings.

I am a winter person. I went to school in upstate New York, Syracuse University to be exact (GO CUSE!), and right around now, I would be trudging through 6 inches of snow to make my way to my last final of the semester. So naturally I miss the white stuff, especially because there are three small mountains within 45 minutes of the campus to ski on whenever you want.
