Big December inc!
(For those of you who aren't up on the lingo on teh_intraweb (the internet), "inc" means "incoming"
First off, I got all the files and information transferred over to me for my new position, and I am now the Executive Director of the Alberta Music Education Foundation...and more than a little overwhelmed. What a lot of stuff!!! This is going to be quite the ride.
Woke up this morning and stepped outside and said "hrm...it's kind of cold". I then scraped off my car (as I've done already 2 dozen times, at least), and turned it on to that oh-so-familiar whine of protest. This was interesting; Jazzy (my car, thanks to the JZY in the liscense plate) hadn't complained yet this year when turning her on. A numbness creeping into my fingers and a quick look at the thermometer gave a very quick explanation why: it was -25 degrees. Holy hell.
While walking downtown, I made the mistake of taking a deep breath. Oh how I'd forgotten that lovely "lungs freezing" sensation.
Been out skiing about 1/2 a dozen times now. The hills are really starting to get into good shape. More lifts are opening every day and the snow keeps falling. Yesterday I went out with Dave and it was just a spectacular day. Some fresh powder on the ground, no wind, and not a cloud in the sky. I was kicking myself for not bringing my camera. There's really something incredible about skiing at 9,000 feet and looking around to see nothing but mountains and blue sky. Was a nice, crisp -15 or so up there. Cold, but not too cold, and cold enough that you don't start sweating.
Bonnie and I decorated our place for Christmas last night and it looks great. I'll try to take and post some pics tonight. Until then...

Love the name of your car. I still haven't come up with a name for mine. Old reliable is looking better and better. We had our share of snow last night too. About a foot fell over night and the dogs fell into it this morning - face first. Am anxious to see your home decorated. Get those pictures. They are my little window into your world. I watched skiing at Lake Louise yesterday on TV. Kind of steep! Can't wait to see you.
