since we had our x-country skis until monday, we went out to teacup lake today up on mt hood for some more skiing. i fell down many times, because i just couldn't figure out how to stop in the stupid x-c skis without edges. it hurt. :( we tried a couple blue trails until i got sick of falling & went back to the main green run. it was pretty out there, but for some reason i woke up on the wrong side of the bed and got crabbier as the day went on. ah well. on our drive back, we saw a puppy run across a 4 lane road which caused an accident. we hung around as witnesses, but the parties involved declined to take our names & phone numbers. a big mistake on the side of the party that got hit, but all you can do is try to help. the stupid puppy emerged unscathed, of course. luckily nobody else was hurt, either.
we went grocery shopping when we got back and returned with some kick-ass beef teriyaki stir-fry. we drank some of our walla walla wine & listened to the splendid table as we cooked. if i ever got an ipod, downloading podcasts of that show is something i'd actually use it for.
