After reading the last few posts, I cannot remember being as conflicted about what I want to say. Lynn's experiences, or at least a very quick summary, just dominate my thoughts. Bouncing back to skis just seems, well, so trivial after seeing the emotion icons. For the past week, my family has been dealing with the health issues of an aging 90 year old father-in-law and those icons somewhat describe my emotional state. Skiers are a very fortunate group to have the resources to do what we love.

So, Jim, there will come a day to celebrate the arrival of your new family member. Enjoy, and don't over-analyze them. Take care of important business in the mean time.

Lynn, my best thoughts go out you! Some people think of what they could have done or should have done, but you went and did it. You have the highest level of my respect.
