too long!

it has been too long! last year, paul i didn't do go cross country skiing once...shame. this year we weren't able to go in december, let's face it, we don't take the time like our dear friends do (boy do we need too!). we woke up to snow and said "what are we waiting for?" got the gear, and left for a quick run around a local park so we could be back in time for family plans. it is so worth it being outside doing anything.
paul is hilarious. he doesn't like to race because he gets way too excited and falls on his little bum, bends or breaks a pole. yes, every time. when i mentioned to race to the courts, he looked at me with a "are you kidding, i just got new poles" look. so i was off giggling, because i knew he would follow and i would be right. he didn't fall this time, but he sure made patterns in the snow i haven't seen in a long time, followed with words. it was funny.
what would make skiing better? i need to wax my skis bad. snow stuck= frustration and no smooth motions.
