skibigsky's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello? Is there anyone in there?!? Wow. It's been HOW MANY days since I've posted? Yeah. Umm. I've been busy. The spouse has put so much work on me (not that he's lying in a hammock drinking mai tais... he's working just as hard), as we are trying to get some businesses flying. Although I was perfectly happy being retired.... *ahem. Anyhoo, after being sick for all of January, I have been skiing for the last couple weeks, and while I haven't made the leap to master's racing yet, I've been running NASTAR, and have qualified for the Nationals. (Not my favorite event or format in the world, by a long shot, but Mr. V. REALLY wants to go. He's got surgery on his ankle 2 days after the event ends, and he really wants to make a showing there. So... instead of driving my shiny yellow Corvette in San Diego, I'll be freezing my ass off in Steamboat. Woo-hoo.) *ahem. Oh yeah.. The short story on Mr. V.'s ankle? He tore two ligaments, and needs surgery to stablize the ankle. Woo-hoo. Tai Chi hurts him. Walking hurts him. Skiing bumps kills him. So yeah, he's a mess. And he'll be in a cast for 6 weeks. Should've gotten a degree in nursing.... *sigh. Eh. Knowing him, he'll be running marathons within 3 weeks, and all will be fine. I was just HOPING that we'd make it through a ski season without a surgery. Ah well. As my grandmother used to say, if wishes were horses, beggars would ride. 7:10 p.m. - 18 February 2008 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
