Curses, foiled again
Jan. 16th, 2010 10:03 amThere 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.
