More Musings

OK, third calender month - third blog entry. I have a lot going on! Some updates -

I'm still teaching up at Loveland and I still dig it. We have another month until the Ski School closes. We've has some incredible snow this year and so April ought to be some awesome skiing if I can get up there a bit. I've learned so much from the instructor clinics - not only about teaching skiing, but skiing itself; the techniques, the models, etc. I'm a much better technical skier now than I was 4 months ago. I don't have time this season to attempt to get my PSIA Level I, but for sure next November I'll wrap that up. I think we get a big monster raise of about 1-dollar per hour if we are level I certified. But, nobody teaches for the money I suppose.

I've been very busy coaching, and as of now I am basically booked for the near future, as I just don't have time for more athletes. Now, hypothetically, if I did not have a 'real job' I could coach full time, shlep bikes, and a few other things to make a buck. I've done the math, and the math works. Hmmm.....more on that topic later.

I have a full suite of races planned for 2008, and I'm training hard, despite some minor setbacks here and there. Recall my broken ribs a couple months back, and most recently I've been out of commission for a bit due to an illness I hate being sick as anyone does, but for me, now, so close to the racing season..its really a pain.

What else? Soccer starts in a couple weeks and ST Jr will play again on the Sharks U-4 team. he is looking forward to it. We'll see.

For now, that all.

Thanks for reading.
