Swish.....Splat

Reality doesn't always become me. In fact, I'm not a big fan of it. But sometimes reality can be pretty amusing. Like when you show your kids how to ride a sled down a steep snowy hill standing up. In my head, I see this awesome surfing maneuver cruising down that hill and bringing the sled to a stop by turning it sideways and spraying all this snow at the bottom. In reality, I go about ten feet, then I'm airborne, as I see earth, sky, earth, sky in repeating order. Only to find me sprawled spread eagle at the bottom of the hill with a roar of laughter proceeding my demise. Needless to say, my kids were smart enough to stay in the seated position on the sled for the rest of the morning, not following their fathers phenomenal example. Following my spectacular performance, I came home, cleaned up, did some requirements, did my pre-test (which I should have done before I did my requirements), and drink hot cocoa. My V sit-ups leave a lot to be desired.I hear the sun will come out tomorrow, and melt some ice away, and then I'll do my run. Makes for a good weekend. Nice job my fellow Cycleillians on your pre-test.
