Winter Awaits

It’s hot and muggy today, but it’s not too early to start thinking of winter. The other day I received an e-mail from the snowsports school for which I occasionally teach. They already had a picnic for instructors and patrollers (I was out of town), and plans are set for refresher meetings.

My favorite news, though, are the tent sales for the sporting goods stores. There’s nothing like looking at new gear in person to get me giddy about the return of winter.
