Elaine and I have been laid up for the past week or two with a fairly bad summer cold, curbing our activities. Elaine has gotten the rawer end of the deal, so it's exciting that we're both finally feeling decent enough to go do a little ski in the hills. Nothing big – more of a walk in the woods with a 600 vertical foot shot of snow – but it was oh so good. It felt good to use the lungs and legs for what they are meant for.
