Hi,
Another month has passed since I started my recovery. This seems good. Dave and I went up to Crystal Mountain Friday. We skied down three times before lunch. No trouble at all getting on and off the lift. My exercises have paid off. Snow was perfect. I love to ski when it is sunny--makes the shadows show up on the snow, therefore easier to see the ridges and bumps. There were a lot of kids skipping school. After lunch the lift was so crowded we had to allow two adult men snowboarders to join us on the four person lift, even though it is not a really wide four person lift, if you get my meaning. Just at the crucial moment when everyone stood up to dismount, the guy next to Dave fumbled with his snowboard and bumped into Dave, who then bumped into me, sitting on the end. You guessed it...down I went. It was a gentle fall, more of a slide down rather than a big bump on the head. There is only one way to get me up. The skis must come off, and then I can stand up.
We decided that was enough for one day.
On the way we stopped at Vic's SuperMarket in Reed City to drop off eight books to restock. They have put my book rack in a prominent place, right in the aisle between the cat food and the Depends displays--sure to get lots of play there.
We had similar sales at Hixson's Family Market.
Out new book Hawaii and Back, Vol. 4 Kauai Via SFO is out now and looking great. Dave says its my best travel book ever.
