Earn Your Turns

Why must we be a slave to the traffic light, insisting on stop and go, craving the intoxicating fumes stemming from an exhaust pipe while listening to over played top 40 on the FM radio, wondering how many tv dinners are left in the freezer and how many times did my dog piss on the floor while i was away slaving from 9-5, and for what, suburbia, prime time television and satellite television beaming at me from all directions to my plasma LCD flat screen projected viewing station, only to be kind and rewind, waking up the next day to do it all over again.




No. Never.

So, on a different note, we went back country skiing today, it was my second time ever, and Gretchen's first. Promptly at 4:32pm we loaded up the station wagon, tossed the pups in the car, and drove up yonder to the South Fork Access of the Chugach Mountains off Hiland Drive. A recent weekend snowstorm left a nice dusting of champagne powder atop old crusty snow, less then ideal conditions, but we don't care, it just felt good to strap boards on your feet and head up the mountain, on a school night....




Enjoy.
