Gone Skiing
by Josh Staiger
This past monday at lunch, Jon asked me, rather spur the moment, if I was into skiing.
And so it goes that tomorrow after work, I will be heading up to Snowshoe Mountain in WVA with Jon, his girlfriend, and Dan for a weekend of skiing. We will be renting a cabin on the mountain. It should be pretty cool.
This will only be my second time skiing ever (the last being nearly four years ago now), so I'm planning on coloring myself plenty black and blue before the trip is over. Luckily, the story is the same for Dan, so at least I won't be the only one.
Wish me luck! Will try to get some pictures.
UPDATE:
By the way, I really like this quote that I found in Craig's profile:
"People talk about 'finding themselves'. Usually this is in the process of breaking up with someone or backpacking through europe/california or just plain leaving your old life behind. Does this make sense?. You do not exist in a vacuum. Your personality is how you react to those around you. The more varied enviroments you can expose yourself to the more you can learn about yourself. I suppose people who take such drastic measures sense this, but don't know it explicitly. That isn't to say that it is always the best thing to do... nothing is ever that simple..."

Craig, did you write this yourself? If so I'll definitely give you credit here.
UPDATE 2: Craig did write the quote.
