Curses, foiled again

[pbray]

There hasn't been much snow this winter, but earlier this week Greenwood Park was finally able to open up their cross-country ski center. I'd been hoping to get out this weekend, but when I called to check the hours, I learned that they'd closed it yesterday, due to the warmer weather. Reopening depends upon conditions-- some recent winters they haven't opened it at all.

Sigh. So now that's two strikes for my weekend plans-- no Lost Dog, no getting out to go XC skiing. Mind you, I could drive an hour or so north and find snow, but I'm not quite that ambitious. Usually when I go out by myself I like to keep it local--in case I do something stupid, I don't want to have a long drive home on top of any self-inflicted injuries. Not that anything's happened so far, but it doesn't hurt to err on the side of caution.

I suppose I could always hit one of the walking trails. Or maybe head up to Ithaca for the heck of it.

But first, I'll get another cup of coffee.

No skating for me-- I tend to go "skate, skate, boom- land on butt." A technique honed on New England ponds.
