Giving up on skiing

2012-02-26 23:47

I am tired of the tyranny of ski boots, so I returned them (and their accompanying skis and poles) one day early. Now I’m frantically Googling “How to snowboard.” I think that this is a longer term thing than just this weekend. I’ve been struggling with the pain that ski boots inflict on my feet and calves for the past decade or two… I think it’s time to give up and try something new.

We’ll see what I post tomorrow after 4 hours of snowboarding.

Anxiety dreams

  1. Last night I had anxiety dreams that I had to fly out to one of our manufacturing plants on short notice to solve a hardware problem.
  2. Tonight I’m having anxiety dreams that the Pats lost the Superbowl (or worse, that I was unable to find out the score online at 05:00 this morning when I wake up to go to the airport to fly out to one of our manufacturing plants on short notice to solve a hardware problem).
