Back in the Saddle Again
Yesterday I went out cross-country skiing for the first time since my unplanned overnight outing. It was on a groomed trail about 30 miles from home that I had skied before. A good choice for my re-entry. So many changes had been made since my last time out. I had only one new item, boots. [...]
