Back from the West
This week was Spring Break-- and time for my annual ski trip with IPLawGuy. This year we went to Sun Valley, Idaho, a beautiful and remote place. The facilities are so nice and the crowds so small that our theory is that the whole thing must be some kind of money-laundering operation. Big mountain, fast lifts, no lines-- go figure!
It's also a kind of quirky place. Ernest Hemingway lived there (and died there, by suicide). It was developed as a resort by the Union Pacific Railroad, which was already going through the area (to the south of Sun Valley). The world's first chairlifts were installed there in 1936, and supposedly it is the birthplace of the Hokey Pokey. Really.
At any rate, we had a blast-- and it was a good break from the grind of the Spring semester, which can be a little overwhelming. I find myself smiling when I am skiing well, sometimes even singing a bit, and that's all good.

And Mark did ski very well. Me.... well, I had fun.
There's also a store in town called The Elephant's Perch. For some reason, we may not be allowed back in for a while...
