Holidays approach. Daylight savings take an hour away. Although it doesn't get cold in Cali, the rains do come. It used to be my favortite time of year. Skiing time approaching! Time to plan exotic ultra challenging ski trips with my crew. Skiing was my religion. It was that important to me. For me not being able to ski is like excommunication. It's painful. I might try it this year. Just get up on skis maybe. But be in the top 1-2% skill level wise at many mountains? Feel that incredible freedom? No. Winter is hard. Especially bc i amp up the lying about how I'm cutting back on the sport. Everyone asks bc i was sage on the subject. I can give em an answer, but on the inside I beg them not to ask. Ill never be able to teach my kids this great love i had.

I'll keep up my biking and swimming. At least it doesn't rain for months on end like Seattle.
