Not in person, that would be a little dangerous.
Depends how close you get to sit to the action.
Well heck of a note, another neighbor died today. It's been a rough wk on my neighborhood.
I'm just glad you brought your old avatar back. That KSU thing was pretty jarring.
Of course the equipment is totally different. It is my understanding that cross country skis (particularly skate skis) are the narrowest skis and ski jump skis are the widest skis (widest snow skis, that is) so they catch the most air and work as an airfoil.
Ours has had to learn time management since about middle school when she was playing club softball, club volleyball, school softball and school volleyball with overlaps at times plus homework plus practicing her saxophone. She only plays club softball now outside of school but homework comes first. On the upside, she has no desire for a social life (boyfriend or even going out with friends) so she has some “free” time. Ha! She is the HS marching band drum major so she can’t miss Friday night football home games.
She is one of those obsessed with her grades and does not let her grades fall much below 98%.
Had the same pair of wooden Kneissl blue stars for years. Long skis...185cm. When I was first learning to ski, they measured the ski by stretching your arm straight up, and the tip should reach to your wrist. Nowadays, everyone skis on shorter skis made of fiberglass and other compounds. I wouldn't trade my blue stars for anything...I could ski just fine on them.

Our oldest went from not caring at all about grades and being a struggle to hold things together to being Johnny on the spot and nonstop grades at ISU. If he keeps it up this semester he will have a great base under himself for the last two years
I had to snicker when I realized that the height to your wrist when extended as high as you could is to the top of my head.
I know, I know, you can still reach high enough to slap me.
It has been a busy year for her as well. She had fall school soccer immediately followed by Nordic (school) and indoor soccer (club). She is glad that Nordic is ending because back to back practices on a night is tough when there is homework as well. She also has confirmation classes and had a boyfriend for about a term. She is conscientious about her grades (straight A all through middle school) but she has my bad habit of procrastinating. I have tried to tell her that the procrastination is what killed me in college but she doesn't listen (i.e. is a teenager).Ours has had to learn time management since about middle school when she was playing club softball, club volleyball, school softball and school volleyball with overlaps at times plus homework plus practicing her saxophone.

Is she the one hoping for Vet school? If so she is off to a great start,
Im on my way there myself in a couple minutes. Basketball game. JV starts at 4. Will go up for the daughters game there and then rush back since the fighting cybirdies are at the kid's school for wrestling.

And yes, I realize the humor in it! But before I gave up skiing, I used to laugh at the looks I would get from all these tall guys with skis shorter than mine.
