Merry Christmas to all!
Well…I had plans for a Merry Christmas…full of deep powder skiing, chilling with RandoKitty and massive amounts of eating…but last night I got a TCSAR call-out for some missing skiers on Togwotee Pass and now I’ll be spending the day looking for them. To tell you the truth…I’m not that psyched about responding to this one and I lost all interest in opening up any gifts last night after I got the page. But duty calls and I hope it will at least have a happy ending.
Thanks to Brian and Dina for organizing this delectable menu!
I hope I’m back in time to enjoy it.
What are you having for dinner tonight?
