I was supposed to be skiing Wednesday, Thursday and today, but after 3 hours of rainy skiing Wednesday and no skiing (or break from the rain) on Thursday, I awoke today to gray-but-dry-skies, a fresh inch of snow on the ground (the only inch we have here) and the slopes opening for business as usual. I only skied for about 5.5 hours today, but that's okay - I'm fat and out of shape and committed to getting more skiing in this winter, both with Casey AND with Drew. I'm even considering looking into doing a group ski thing up to Big Bear or Mountain High or whatever - we'll see.
Anyway, I just wanted to check in - it's been another long-ass time. Ann Arbor again tomorrow, then Cleveland. Back to Detroit (where I'd like to buy a house) on Monday, then to LA and business for the week before Christmas.
If you buy a red 4-cylinder soft top Jeep, I want to recommend that you don't plan to drive it across the country with a white Honda Rebel 250 on a carrier attached to the trailer hitch. If you are going to do all that, I'd recommend not filling it up with crap and having a bum fuel or electrical system.
It's quite a bit of work to get across Oklahoma and North out of Texas without getting practically blown off the road, first of all. That was maybe the hardest day of driving I'd ever done, honestly. Since it was my second day on the road, I was already tired, too, which didn't make the day any easier.
So I didn't update during my down day, and after that, events just proceeded too fast for me to keep up with. What follows, by way of apology, is a condensed account of the Shit I Did during those last couple of days.
