You are a clever one, aren't you?

The ski areas are out of town. In places that grow their own rednecks. In another state, actually. The only ski-related activity in my hamlet is a ski jump. That's pretty random, come to think of it...

I learned with incredible disdain recently that my high school has added lacrosse. Apalling.

In other words, maybe.

Do you herd the redneck skiers leaving them no choice but to go over the skijump?

My gym bag is in my car at the park & ride lot. I look forward to the particular thrill of putting on a -14 degree sports bra. Brrrrr.

This morning I did wear my dorky but warm hat with the ear flaps and wrapped my scarf around my face. My ears and head stayed warm but my eyeballs nearly froze.

Santa Ana winds are blowing in Southern CA these days. Should hit about 80.

the knee soreness might be compelling evidence of who's lying except that he's 6' 11".

What is there about broomball* and ultimate frisbee that would keep black people from participating? Don't see a lot of brown faces playing hockey here but there is an inner city hockey program (Hockey in the Hood) working on that.

*Other than the cold, which seems to be racially neutral.

I can give you some locations where you'll find local rednecks. They're there, shooting pool, drinking cheap booze, leaving rotting cars in their front yard, doing landscaping work for NY expatriates. But if you're not into lift guys, you may prefer not to know.

There are two black kids on my younger son's hockey team. He and another kid are the Latinos. There are three (or four -- I can't remember) Asian boys. And one Asian girl.

But no rednecks.

Sigh. This is lovely. Especially since, until a few weeks ago, I was expecting to be in a cold and generally miserable east coast city for the entire winter.

And here I am waiting for my roller skates to be delivered. Next heat wave, I'll be ready for some roller boogie on the beach.

Your new pledge name is "Santa Ana." Don't ask why.
