The Blocks

I love summer. But lately I've been itching for some snow and to hit the mountains. The two days a week I have off from the newspaper, I spend as a snowboard instructor at a mountain in the heart of the White Mountains about 85 miles north. It makes for a busy 5-6 months and I'm anxious to see how it goes with the primary this year. The primary is my first priority. But teaching someone and watching them connect turns for their first time down a trail is amazing and makes the busy days completely worth it. Now, if we could only get some snow!
