Neck Out, Arm Hurt, Way Too Tired
...but, like the Everready Bunny, still going....
I was pretty tired yesterday, and not feeling my best. That's a shame - when you're looking at something like this, you really oughta be feeling your best:
That's looking down the liftline along lift 8, way on the backside, along Blackburn's Bash. See that line of short cliffs out there in the big, flat meadow area? That's the bank of Purgatory Creek, which is where Purgatory Ski Area gets its name.
My neck is out - the right levator; I'm seeing a chiro this afternoon - and my arm is still black, blue and red from skiing on Tuesday, and I'm very tired - working, skiing and running may be too much for this old man. But for some reason, I keep going.
Bad habits - that's all that can explain it. Working and skiing and running are bad habits. I can tell this, because I think that I should stop doing them, but I don't. Therefore, QED, they are bad habits.
Now, I probably can't quit the work habit, as Ethel is spending money (today she's decided that we're going to go out tonight and eat raw fish. That's right - there are certain restaurants where you pay extra for them to NOT cook the fish. This will result in my having to pay EXTRA extra to ask them to fry it for me - and I'll be bringing my own sack of corn meal. What's the Japanese word for "hush puppies"?) I've got a mortgage in Arizona and I've got HOA dues in Colorado, so I reckon I'm gonna keep the work habits.
And I probably shouldn't quit the skiing habit, since I quit that once, and it pained my soul for five years, and ultimately resulted in my buying this place up here - an unadvised bit of lunacy which, while allowing me to indulge my skiing habit, actually forces me to do more of the work habit.
So that means that I should quit the running habit.
Okay, I quit.
<....a pause here of several seconds...>
Nope. That didn't work. I said "I quit" and then looked inside, waiting to hear back from my running habit, and it completely ignored me. It didn't even argue. It is completely impervious to outside influences.
So I reckon that means that I'm going to have to rest more - when I'm not working, running or skiing (or at meetings) I'll have to be asleep. Maybe I'll be able to sleep enough to allow my body to keep up these bad habits.
ANYWAY - on Wednesday, I said that I couldn't get QBC's video tool to load - turns out that it's an incompatibility with FireFox 3.6 and On2's control, so I used IE8 to load this up - a video of Ethel and Silas skiing Ray's Ridge, a black groomed run on the backside (to the west of the above chairlift). Ethel wants a disclaimer posted here saying that she didn't know that she was skiing with her legs that far apart - there. It's been posted :)

I watched it twice to make sure it wasn't, indeed, the Olympics. Lovely!
