The snow was covered with a sheet of crunchy ice. Some places it was too slick to walk on even with crampons. I&nbsp; bend down to write Sam&#8217;s name in the snow and could barely make a dent&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/mar0908\/mar0908002.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">Chai took atvantage of my attempts to write and grabbed my glove and ran off. she thought it was pretty funny !<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/mar0908\/mar0908005.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">She redeemed herself a bit later when I tried to walk down the sledding hill. the ice took over and I slid down out of control.. loosing my hat .. Chai ran back up and got it from me.&nbsp;&nbsp; I bruised myself when I fell and broke my favorite $5 glasses&#8230;&nbsp;&nbsp; Oh well, <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/mar0908\/mar0908020.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">Tyler was over when I got back.. his pants cheered me up a bit.. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/mar0908\/mar0908008.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">Gabe and Trevor had gone up to the Mountain mid day.. but it was too icy to ski\/board.. so I went and fetched them at about 3.. It was a blizzard up there !<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/mar0908\/mar0908011.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">Then Diane and I went over to Tom and Beth&#8217;s. for an early dinner. Ron, Paula and Carolyn were also over.&nbsp;&nbsp; I managed to bring mismatched slippers&#8230;&nbsp;&nbsp; It was really nice talking to those guys..&nbsp; we spent a very peaceful 3 hours over there. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/mar0908\/mar0908012.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">Meanwhile, Gabe, Ian and Trevor had gone up to Jen and Tim&#8217;s .. We went up to get them.. and ended up staying for a couple of hours.. It was good to be around people.. One great first happened tonight.. Gab had is first Twinkie ! (and here it is for posterity). This motivated me to secretly fill another twinkie with mustard and put it back in the box.. but I confessed before we left.. The kids tried to get Evan and Marie to eat it when they showed up.. but no dice. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/mar0908\/mar0908019.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">Well.. nothing else to report.. I&#8217;m hoping that another good nights sleep will get my emotional compass back on track.. At this point I know I sometimes just have to sit back and wait for that to happen.. it usually does.. OK .. g&#8217;nite friends ..
