The inspiration to write has alluded me lately. Life has been busy with work and play. This past weekend was spent in Whistler snowboarding and spending a little time with thirty friends from grad school. Whistler was absolutely amazing - Saturday we had fresh snow and a full day on the slopes followed by a Sunday with a cloudless, bright blue sky and visibility that went on forever. It was breathtaking to see the endless mountaintops.
It was a busy weekend though - leaving me exhausted on this Monday when my day started at 5am. My current work project has involved a lot of international work which sounds glamorous but what really just means very early morning phone calls to accommodate other time zones.
This weekend will involve some more slopes, closer to home though. I'm thinking of hanging up the snowboard and returning to skis for a bit. We'll see how it goes - it's been about 10 years since I've been on skis!
