Travelling cross country in the middle of winter tends to be a pain. Whether it is problems where you are coming from, where you are going to, or where the airplane you are going to ride in is coming from, there always seem to be problems with midwinter flights. We just returned from my dad's funeral in Michigan, and it feels so good be home again after spending endless hours waiting for delayed flights! It also feels good to have the warm sun on your skin, and see the mountains (it was less than 1 mile visibility when we left!) It was wonderful to see everyone and visit, and funeral was actually a very uplifting service, but I am glad to be home.
We are all looking forward to some skiing this week to make up for some lost time over the holidays, the snow is looking good with over 40" of base most everywhere now.
