  I learned it in grade school in New Hampshire. Fridays were half days in winter and our PE was going to the mountain for the afternoon and getting skiing instruction. I was in a small poor town with no street lights, we were not rich. Equipment was subsidized for the kids who couldn’t afford it. I do wonder if money to support it came from outside our community. There are a few winter Olympians that I graduated highschool with.

  I never realized how privileged I was to have that experience until I was in college. I have probably gone to the mountains less than a dozen times since then. Too expensive, and I have better things to do with my time now.

  Is this in reference to ICE and Renee Good, because I think we know what that ICE agent decided? Create a problem so they can pull the trigger.

  Also an engineer. I’m lucky that most of my meetings are before noon now after I moved to a different time zone. Though, that also means I have early meetings I have to be alert and ready for. Of course by the time I have a couple hours at the end of my work day to actually get something done I am mentally exhausted and need to start resting for my early morning meetings the next day.
