First ski of the year

[dreamshark]

Woke up feeling kind of logey and cranky, but the sun came out and I just had to try out the new snow on Hiawatha Golf Course. I can't believe how it perked me up! It was a beautiful day for skiing; I'm surprised there weren't more people out. But fortunately there had been enough eager beavers to lay down a fine set of volunteer ski tracks. I had originally planned to turn around after 20 minutes but I was having so much fun I went all the way around the loop. That is probably 2-3 miles, although it took me an hour. (I'm not the world's fastest skier.)

Sorry I missed the chance to say goodbye to you at the airport, ambertatge. (I guess I'm not the world's best mother either.) It was great having you home for Christmas! Good luck making it through the Houston airport!
