Just happened to bump into one purely by accident and wasn't sure if we were on the same wavelength. We are.

I remember you saying you like the cold and that you used to ski(?) I learned both alpine and x-country eons ago but stopped risking life and limb a few years back. X-country is h.a.r.d. but I loved alpine on a cold, but sunny, day heading down the mountain with the only sound you hear being the shooshing of the skis as they carve into the snow. That, and falling down...alot. Falling was easy, it was getting back up on an incline with skis and boots on that was difficult.

When I was a kid, there used to be a Saturday afternoon show called "Wide World of Sports" and it covered lots of sports many Americans (at that time) knew little about unless they participated in it. I loved watching, both then and now, downhill racing, tobogganing, figure skating, ski jumping, and luging (after it started). I personally never got better than "Beginner" at downhill, but it was a lot of fun. Hopefully, you'll have the chance to enjoy your sport again. If not, I'm sure the memories are still vivid in your mind. Take Care.
