No, it will somehow make even less sense.

Why?

You’re in the right place.

Skied. We’re getting dumped on this year and I’m putting some newish gear through some steady reps. Big growth year for me on the slopes; I had plateaued for a bit so these are some notable improvements in maybe the last five years? Moving faster, tighter, more confident.

I stopped at the halfway point of the day to do some homework at the lodge. My skis were leaned against my car while getting my boots off and they fell over and scraped the shit out the paint. Then I watched my kid go off some little ski jumps.

Listened to some NPR on the drive home. Got some Indian takeout. Sportsball. Monkey Driven dunked on me in the NFL thread. Started Charlotte’s Web with my daughter.

Extremely good Sunday.
What do you think has contributed to your growth on the slopes?

My oldest son has a friend who fancies himself an elite athlete. He, therefore, doesn’t eat the free school lunch, instead opting to bring a high protein meal from home. A true bro, though, he still gets his free lunch every day and rotates who gets free “doubles.” My son and his lunch pin connected to our bank account gets doubles whether it’s his turn or not.

Tonight at dinner I said that it feels like the automatic schoolcafe withdrawal is getting more frequent. My son said, “Yeah, it’s black history month so only Tavion, Patrick, and Josh are taking turns on the free doubles. Today it was Tavion.”

We were dying. These kids have all been friends basically their whole lives. My son is an academic dipshit. But I asked, “What happens in March?” and he deadpanned, “Oh, it goes back to the whites for the rest of the year.” The sense of humor encourages me about him. The friendship encourages me about the future. The kids are alright.
