Tonight I am grateful to my parents who took the time (and time it took!) to show me the joy of skiing, who went out of their way to teach me this arcane and wonderful winter sport so that I could be one of those crazy people who look forward to the snow...
And I am grateful again to my mom who thought of us this morning as she brushed powdery snow off her car and decided to forgo her day's plans and send Nat and I off for a ski.
Our first in 5 years and I am so grateful that we went! Nothing quite like the endorphins after a run, eyes watering from the wind, just a little breathless...
Even on a dinky hill with the bare minimum of snow to cover and ridiculously long, poorly organized lift lines-- it was a grand way to spend a sunny, cold afternoon.
On that note, we spent $60 dollars on our wonderful afternoon and another $20 on a perfect dinner at the townie bar in Chesterland with the perky little waitress. I am officially declaring this expenditure to be totally worth it. Savings: 0. And that's OK.
