And, I did. Thanks for the post. It was just enough to tip the scales.
Very reassuring. Despite being a couch potato since haul out, no heaviness in the chest, no pain radiating down the left arm, even trying to take a short cut and ending up fighting my way uphill through knee high unbroken snow. I don't think I've breathed that hard since racing to rescue the dinghy on my science cruise.

It was beautiful. A reminder of what a privilege it's been to spend every one of 60 winters in the northeast. Been there, done that, nice tee shirt, thanks. Balance is important in life. What's it going to take to balance 60 years of snow? I'm damn well going to find out.
