Even now, some 9 months after I was there, I miss that particular trip. My analysis of it in […] Fresh snow! Despite the unpleasant weather, this has been a very nice weekend. Saturday I spent much of the day sleeping and reading — a great way to recover from an unusually intense workout Friday evening. There was a little bit of shopping thrown in there as well.
