Ouch

I am starting to sound like a Whiteface commercial but conditions are so good, so early. It is wildly exciting. We had a fantastic ski day. The boys are in the groove and back to their old tricks of leaving me in their ski dust while they race down the mountain. It snowed all day yesterday, was fairly mild weather-wise and tons of trails are open. This morning, every joint and muscle is creaking. After skiing, we came home for a quick change and headed out to Morgan's 11 to watch our Marquette Golden Eagles Defeat the Mighty Wisconsin Badgers. What a lovely evening. We had pizza and beef and hung around the bar with the boys. We met a Saranac Lake legend named Dew Drop Morgan (yes, his name is Dew Drop). He was on the US Bobsled team (maybe in the late '40's early '50's?)and is in the Lake Placid Hall of Fame. I believe his children own Morgan's 11 and it is named such because Dew Drop has 11 Children!! He is a lovely man who lost his wife some years ago. He cheered with us for Marquette and was a lovely surprise to our night.

We need to get out of here early today as Joe has a board meeting this evening so holiday decorating will have to wait but it doesn't need much. The fluffy snow everywhere feels like a Christmas card.
