It snowed here in Denver recently, a rare occurrence these days, but evidently it has been snowing a lot in the mountains just to the west, which inspired me to post this photograph of my sister Susan and brother-in-law George, taken on a long ago cross country ski outing. We also did a bit of downhill skiing back then, too, but that was much more expensive. Also, we would often go with George's cousin Richard, who was an excellent skier, but had a tendency to lead Susan and George down "black" runs, which was very akin to jumping off a cliff. My sister Susan often thought he was purposely trying to kill them. She still does, actually. He once filmed her coming down one of these runs backwards, and often liked to show that tape at family gatherings. Ah, the good old days. Or in some cases, not.
