Gary,

Here's to Joe Schmidt,
Here's to us and those who ski with us, damn few!

In the past 5 years, I lost 2 great ski buds. It hurts, and, I still miss them. You have the memories, he lives in your mind. My best wishes to his wife. I could not imagine what life would be like for her, literally - here today, gone tomorrow.

By chance, today was my annual physical. I train as hard or harder than ever, so, under the doc's orders, it's time to schedule another stress test. Just precautionary, my past tests have been great, but, it is time for a senior skier to get it done. Gotta keep up with all you guys (ooops, and girls).
