hey everyone. no rollerski links this time for me. sorry. just wanted to update. life is fun in maine. sort of. ive been working 40-50hrs a week between my two jobs since i got back from cali. which was chill. check out facebook for pics of my adventures if you want. and if youre not friends with me dont be shy. i cant bite you over facebook. im not that skilled with comps.
anyway. for my internship we just finished up a petition drive. that was wildly unsuccessful. we got less than half of the needed signatures. but it was fun to run around the state accosting people on the streets to get their signature. now im doing research on religion in maine, how immigrants feel in maine, and setting up a blog and writing entries. which by the way check out my first post at mclublog.blogspot.com. so ya its been funish. good experience.
my second job is being bitch at the running store and working at road races for them and trying to be friendly. and getting paid shit. but better than smeltzer. other than that im training, hanging out with a future roomie of mine whos at bates right now, and trying to get together with people to do stuff. which seems to be impossible and for which i am sorry about. one last development in my life. some of you may have seen on facebook but i have lost my car. the prius has found a new driver. so im dealing with that loss of transportation and am scouting out nice, cheap, young rides that dont involve much commitment and can be drove hard and discarded easily and without mess. so far i have been unsuccessful but would welcome any suggestions.
hope all is well.
boner
and to second sams comment on my rollerskiing post: who else would be sending you links like that and working on thesis during the summer???

Public Radio Debut
Yo Yo Yo,
This week is radio week. We've got 3 feature shows airing Tuesday-Thursday. Each one will air once in the morning and once in the evening. The AM show is between 7:30-8:00 (somewhere in there... each segment is 10 minutes long or so) and the PM show is between 5:30-6:00. Also they'll be online at www.NHPR.org
So those shows are what I've been working on the last two months, with this guy Jon Greenberg. He voices the shows. They're about the Merrimack river, and environmental/development issues that are facing it. HOWEVER, if you listen to NHPR any time this week, there will be a different one minute segment airing each day called "river minutes." They are basically trivia that we couldn't find a good place for within the big features. One is about fishladders, one is about stormwater management, one's about Henry David Thoreau, etc. I wrote and voice those, which is wicked cool. Each one airs 6 times throughout the day, whenever they are doing New Hampshire News they air once.
SO, listen, you punks!
Either online at the website or at one of the stations below if you're in NH.

89.1, Concord, WEVO
90.3, Nashua, WEVO
90.7, Keene, WEVN

ps. I had to add my name after, because Jerry Lewis was confused about which Bates Nordic skier was working at New Hampshire Public Radio this summer. Oh, also, I go to Argentina a week from today. Woo. I also wanted to let you know that I like horses and long walks on the beach. I have a cat named Aunt Jemima and I like to comb her with my comb.

The Best Skier in the World
After being nominated as the Best Skier in the World alongside tough competition such as Bjorn Dælie and Thomas Alsgård, I felt it would be a great opportunity to ask the star some questions about himself
BATES NORDIC: How do you feel being nominated as the best skier in the world alongside skiers like Bjorn Dælie and Thomas Alsgård?
NATHAN HARRY WINEBAUM: I feel honored on being nominated as the most accomplished skier of the cross country
SE: What do you attribute your success to?
NHW: I attribute my success to my god given abilities. Cross-country skiing just comes naturally to The Nathan Harry Winebaum.
SE: Would you like to thank anyone for being the best skier in the world?
NHW: I'd like to thank Jesus Shuttlesworth aka. Ray Allen for giving me the inspiration.
Thank you Nate for the opportunity for fellow readers to understand how one of The Greats does his thing. Provided below is a picture of Nathan Harry participating in one of his hobbies at the beach.
