I always have to think about how old I am. Time is flyin', that is for sure. Of course my body is falling apart already. My knees were a little swollen this week, but now my right knee has really ballooned up since my ski yesterday. I could barely swim today (felt fine kicking, just could not use the leg on turns which is annoying). The funny thing was that I skied harder on Saturday, and my knee was not too bad. At one point Sat, we were bombing down a run that was like a regular ski run on our touring skis (narrower than my foot), but the snow was powder so you could control yourself relatively well. We saw 2 guys cutting parallel turns on I think cross country skis (I did not get a good look, may have had a tele set up). At any rate, I am getting worried about Utah coming up. I iced a lot today and took some nsaids, so hopefully it will go down tonight. I swear if it is not a cold or some other illness, something else happens. I am healthy with energy for once!! My luck tommorrow will be all of my challenging kids will take off on me! Time to stop whining.
Hey Gucky, when should we pick you up in SLC?

So, I haven't booked my ticket yet. Since I haven't boarded since '01, I was a little worried. Arash and I went up to Mt Hood and I was able to eek out a run on exactly one black diamond (OK, well I went down the same black diamond many times - No moguls). Man am I out of shape and that run scared the crap out of me the first time down. Anyway, going again this week. Our budget really can't take much more of a beating (Between our gold-plated roof and the first class air fare for a wedding in March), but I'll see what I can do :)

Loser,
You can handle Park City, and I do not spend my day on Black Diamonds. We also start late and take hour lunches in our advanced age.
I was serious about scholarship opportunities too.
