“You know, Jamie hates falling when she snowboards. And she gets really pissed when she does, and it’s really funny, too. She looks like an angry little elf as she struggles to get up.”

Aubrey, my sister, reminiscing about snowboarding with Nathan and me.

So, it appears I will only get to board once this season. Surgery on my left shoulder is scheduled for December 19th, and that’ll wipe out the following two months of boarding season right there. At least I’ll be able to fence sooner than that, within 10 to 14 days post-surgery (provided I pad the area correctly for impact). I look forward to the snowboarding, though.

My sister did mention that she could go with Nathan and Dane (her boyfriend, who is awesome) and I could sit with their stuff in the lodge. Oh, and that she would be happy to take pictures and videos as they go down the mountain and send it to my cell phone from hers.

She’s so kind. I think she learned it from me.
