The mass of men ski lives of quiet desperation

Snowfall continued until we had 3-4" on the ground. Since this constitutes a blizzard by recent standards, I shoveled out the driveway, reshoveled the end after the city plow went past, and drove out to the city forest for a short bout of skiing. Wet sticky snow with the gravel and pine-needles coming through, but my first chance in over a month. Did _not_ attempt the full loop, after that long a layoff. Temperatures forecast to dip below zero this weekend, which bodes icy trails.

2 miles, 40 minutes

Apropos of that (sorta) I heard a bit on morning NPR news about how the total US cross-country ski team budget was less than the Norwegian team's wax budget....

Wonder if the country will let them back in?
