Weekend

So, highlight of the weekend was going skiing for a day on Sunday. They've gotten a lot of snow so really looked forward to it. What do I mean by a lot of snow? That's the parking lot mound.


I carpooled with 3 others. The driver was a nice guy, but he really likes to listen to comedy on Sirius radio (snippets of comedians). I guess there's 4 or 5 stations on it, one of which is Crude or Raw or something like that. So, add my general neutral to negative desire to listen to comedy and raunchy/rude humor, and it was a little not so fun. I couldn't block it out either... It's funny that the one person I laughed at was Rodney Dangerfield. I must be old.

It was a great day to try lots of things since they had had so much snow. I went to the top of a really intimidating Wall (it was windy and cloudy):


Also went into the trees, though with not enough downhill power to keep me going, so I had to get out of my skis. And promptly was knee/thigh deep in snow. Took one really interesting fall in which my skis ended up tips down, parallel, and I got thrown off of them. Also took one fall in which I heard crack crack crack up or down my neck (each vertebra) - I didn't get paralyzed though so that was good.

When I get home and take a shower, I see the stress points on my feet (heel and side of the upper foot) from the ski boots. Hmm... can't be good. Oh well!
