sore but happy

[metawidget]

In a bit of skiing-induced pain, but it was a good kinda pain... spent the weekend with a few friends skiing up on Bromont. It’s been at least five years since I’ve been, meanwhile those nifty shorter parabolic skis have come into popular (i.e. rental) use, and my skills haven’t rusted enough to eat away all the benefits of those puppies. So it’s mostly just that active kind of sore... although I did have a funnier-to-watch-than-to-do encounter with a ditch... my compadres had zipped ahead on the clear slope and planted themselves at the bottom of the glade I was trying out to see if I wrapped myself around a tree... I didn’t, but then at the end of the glade, I exited a little to the right of where I should have... and my thought process was someting like “that looks like a clear path out... oh shit, a ditch! juuuump!”... and I got a little altitude, but not enough to get my tips clear of the opposite wall of the ditch. Splat. I’m feeling OK on all the bits I landed on, except for the fractured ego. Other than that, the skiing was great, the company was fun, we were really well fed, and the weather was a subarctic kind of beautiful... brilliant sun but rather nippy.

I continue to reduce efficiency at Legend[e]s of the Forum. I continue to waffle and procrastinate on writing and applying for stuff... not much longer before this gets serious. Stuff gets done, just not as fast as it should.

On that note, back to work for me!
