West Virginia! Wild and Wonderful...

I went snow skiing this weekend in West Virginia! And, what a great time! Catching up with old friends... spending time in the mountains... playing in the snow... but, looking no where near as fabulous as this woman while skiing.


Skiing is hard! And, after 10 minutes I was ready to kick off my skis and meet up with my friends a few hours later at the lodge bar. And, I should go ahead an apologize for all the f-bombs dropped around tiny ears. Sorry, parents, of all the little kids skiing last weekend in West Virginia... apologies for my unfortunate potty-mouth, but in my defense, I was experiencing both stress and anger.


I did, however, get some schooling from some wonderful teachers. Enter my friends / saints for the weekend:

Thanks their support... and tolerance!... I turned out to be a pretty okay skier. Even managing to fly, almost literally, down an intermediate slope by the end of my second day. And, I love skiing now... love it! Can't wait to go again. I need to remember to plan a massage appointment immediately upon my return to town, but the adventures were well worth all the sore muscle pains in the week that followed.

Note to self... live a little... travel... don't be scared to try new things... and, when playing "circle of death" stay away from the liquor drinks!
