Well, I have accomplished one of my goals for this year. I went sledding today. Hurray! Last year I didn't get to go at all. However, the snow did put a damper on my travel plans today, as I was planning on going to West Bend for an Antique Show, and then on to Milwaukee to have a girls day with Jen and C-bone. I also spent a wonderful Saturday night and Sunday morning in the company of Randy, having general fun, and playing " Chef's Love Shack" one of the greatest games ever for Nintendo 64

I LOVE sledding. I believe part of it is due to one of my older beliefs. If you can move and make little to no effort on your part, it is almost automatically fun! Sledding is awesome because, even though at the end of the ride, it involves hiking up the big damn hill in bulky clothing, in the deep, slippery snow with a heavy sled, you still are flying down the hill with the only effort being expended on your part is a slight push, or run and jump. This is why riding roller coasters, going down a hill fast on a bike, an amusment pary ride for that matter, riding in a boat, bungee jumping, and the like is fun. When you can move, and not try to, it's fun. Why, I don't know. Just like I still think it's funny to make noises with your body, and not be speaking. This is why farts, burps, and gastric noises are funny. I don't care if you call me childish for still giggling when someone lets one fly, but damn it, you have to admit, it's funny!

Well... I suppose...
