New Year

If the year really does begin at midnight, what difference is there between 11.59 and 12.01? I think dawn should really be the beginning. Isn't that more practical? Whatever, more random thoughts. The kid was having none of it today, 4.30 wake up for a milk and then no return to sleep. Making my 6 a.m. meeting to skin up was no trouble, it wasn't light until just before the top, pretty cool to ascend in the dark and ski down in the light. I still suck at tele skiing but no great surprise there. I was awful at cross until I gave it a while so I guess tele skiing will be the same, if I get that far with it. Some of it is lack of motivation to really rip at it right now. I like the trip up more than the trip down. Hmmmmmm sounds like mountain biking.
