Default Pray for Snow

Hi All

Mark and I have scheduled a ski trip for Feb 22-25 here in Tahoe. We need snow bad so I'm asking for your prayers with our crazy weather these days. I hope that this trip is able to go off. I will be getting rooms at The Ridge Tahoe if anyone else is interested in joining us. Queen of Hearts are you still game?

Wow... flights from Orange County are < $200. They get in late at night and depart early morning. I'm thinking of arriving Thursday or Friday night and departing Monday morning.

OK... now I've got two weeks to get in shape. Does anyone have a magic program that will take me from totally deconditioned to ready to kick Paulette and Doreen's butts in just 2 weeks?

Airline ticket to Tahoe - $200

New Skis & Boots - $800

Beating Mark down the mountain - Priceless!


Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can make it. I've only got a little over 48 hours off between shifts at work that weekend, which doesn't leave much time to get there, ski, and get home. Mark, it looks like you'll be safe from taking a double hit from both me and Paulette!

If something changes with my schedule, I'll let you know. Dang it, I was really looking forward to this.

Doreen... you can't bluster like that and then not make it... The shame of chickening out will be a dark cloud that hang over you for the rest of your life... a monkey on your back that you'll never get rid of... Don't do this to yourself!

I'm glad that we spoke last night after you posted... I hope to hear that you'll really be there. It will be great to ski with you.

Paulette, I saw Dr. Delamarter yesterday and told him that we'll ski together in a few weeks... it brought a huge smile to his face. The more time I spend with the docs the more I appreciate how much of their payment is in hearing about the positive impact they make on so many lives.

Mark

Mark - I'm glad the snow conditions are poor enough right now to have this rescheduled for March. The humiliation of being last down the mountain behind the girls will still be all yours! I certainly hope you'll use this short delay to get some conditioning in and give us a little competition. It wouldn't be completely fair to just beat some poor old guy down the hill every run.

Oh....and the last one down buys the first round in the lodge....so bring some money, you'll need it!

Hopefully Mark didn't get scared away and is out training!
