Today was Martin Luther King day… Especially poignant this year after all the racial tension. It was the first time I’ve ever had it off as a real holiday… I’m not sure if that’s because I’m officially working in Massachusetts or because everybody is paying more attention. I hope it’s the latter.

Diane and I took off for a couple of hours in the early afternoon to explore the same area around John’s pond up on happy Hollow… But this time on skis. I hate to say it but even after 40 years of cross country ski and still no good at Hills… Either up or down. It was really tough going and I spent a lot of time on my backside trying to climb out of knee-deep snow.… Still it was beautiful up there. The pictures are all of Diane’s camera. Let me see if I can find some I’ll post them later

Nite all, nite sam
