The Guv just told me that our home in Vermont received about a foot of snow today. Yippee! Petunia and I will be in ski/board school together in seventeen days, so I'm rooting for lots more fresh, white powder.
Meanwhile, I'm still going back and forth in my mind on whether or not to take up boarding instead of trying to ski again. (Petunia will learn to ski first.) I found an on-line snowboarding lesson that makes the sport seem fun and not neck-breaking. Friends who've tried boarding seem to love it and stick with it, but most of them report sore backsides and lots of falling down. Petunia and I will be wearing helmets, but that won't help my "bahookie," as Petunia calls it. We're also still debating whether or not to plunk Dash down on some sticks. He'd be doing moguls on day three, I'm quite sure. The problem is not his safety, but, rather, our certain inability to keep up with him. Of course, that's not much different from any other day...
