Looking Forward.
I realize that my particular perspective on hockey, the Olympics, spectator sports, patriotism, and television, probably won’t get a sympathetic hearing from many, suffice to say that this afternoon, while it seems most of the country was tuned in to “the” hockey game, I was skiing. North facing slopes in the local back-country have a half inch crust on top of the 15cm or so of cruddy new snow we got yesterday, but on the steep stepped ridge-lines, where I was making linked jump turns, it was fun skiing with no signs of instability.
Looking Back.

Nice, on all accounts!
