On the left is the view from the ‘mobile office’ last weekend.

The ‘green dot’ is my son who was racing and the ‘blue pants’ are the older one on his right. It was the end of a beautiful and successful day.

Although my email nightmare was over (blocks, bounces, broken links) from earlier in the week, I found myself without internet at this location. *gasp*

So, I prepped email / letters / scripts and used my phone for desperate communications.

Luckily the next day, guest services told me that the best wireless connection was in the deli where I was forced to spend the next several hours drinking tea and doing as much online stuff as I could muster before I ran out of battery power. Yum, Chai!

In this picture to the right you can see the lift on the left and the racing run is on the right. I hiked up to the finish corral to see the last run of the day. In the picture below, he is the top figure behind the red fence. The race is over and he’s just in a safety arena coming down after a good run.

I can honestly say I’d forgotten how ‘mountainous’ the mountains are. You would think that went without saying, but it’s different hiking up and down multiple flights of stairs and through the snow to get to any destination. I’d actually forgotten how much I *love* that! It took me a long time to understand ‘going to the gym’ when we first moved to Calgary & revisiting the hills was positively therapeutic!

I can also honestly say I’ve gotten soft. On top of that, I suspect I’m developing a weird reputation… I mean, beyond ‘normal weird’ for me, among the other parents who don’t carry their computers around everywhere… Have I become a geek?

The Mobile Office

The “Mobile Office” at Mt Norquay on Dec 23 / 09 waiting for my oldest son to get his ski instructor certification. His original testing day was canceled earlier in December due to cold weather. He now has his coaching, instructing and will get his park certification in February.

I’m working on audios, answering emails and making calls. I’m go glad I found a plug to keep me ‘empowered.’ I’m behind on my self imposed schedule, but it’ll all get done.

Family arriving this day also for the holiday season. Busier than usual having good times!
