The other side

For more than 40 years I have skied New Year's Day. The morning is a great time to ski as it is vacant. I texted my Mom as I usually do "Happy New Year Mom, I love you." Pretty cool to still be able to do that at 68. There was another Mom just now on the news. On New Years Eve she got the same exact message from her 16-year-old son, who was on a ski trip; just like me. My Mom is in Florida having breakfast with my brother today. His Mom is in Crans Montana Switzerland, where she said she will stay until they find and identify his burned beyond recognition body. The other side.....

You are a good son. Nice. I use to ski Killington. I had 2 friends who did Mt Washington, more nerves than I had even in my 20s when I did Jackson Hole in thigh-deep powder in college.
