John, have you given up cross country skiing? I remember back in the earlier days of the site you had posted in your journal pics from when you were out skiing. I apologize if you still post them and I missed them.

I haven't given up on it, but having Burt along was a critical part of the fun and his old bones are just not up to the task anymore. So life is more about taking naps than skiing or hiking.

I am sure that the day will come when I will be back out there.
