And so, at last, after lo these many years

I made it to the ski slopes of Ogden near Halifax, where there was snow (and the odd grassy bit to avoid - alas, there has been a lot of thaw in the past few days, with snow dissolvéd-ing like anything, though we still drove past some 5 foot high drifts getting there), and I got to go skiing.

As a result of two hours of said activity, and a rope tow, my arms hurt, my hands hurt, my thighs hurt, my calves hurt, and I have been reminded how tremendously unfit I presently am. It was a lot of fun, though.

Also, that accomplished, the weather now has my permission to warm up.

I am glad you got your skiing but if that means we can have spring now, I would be grateful. It is nearly April. I should be planting things.

I got to so an hours cross-country on the golf course yesterday, so spring can definitely come now. Even the sun of the last few days has been pleasant despite the chill, compared to the months of unremiting gloom.
