IN A FOG

I HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF A LOT OF THINGS ASSOCIATED WITH MY MEMORY. MY KIDS HAVE TOLD ME ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION THAT I HAVE "MOM-NESIA" WHICH I DON'T DENY. AND AT TIMES I HAVE FELT LIKE I HAVE BEEN IN A FOG, BUT TODAY GRAND TARGHEE LIVED UP TO IT'S NAME OF "GRAND FOGGY". THIS WAS MY FIRST REAL EXPERIENCE OF SKIING BY BRAILLE, IF YOU WILL, I LEARNED HOW TO SKI IN THE FOG AND BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE I HAD TO FEEL WHERE I WAS GOING. THIS WAS VERY CHALLENGING. WE SPENT THE MORNING SKIING ON SACAJAWEA AND AFTER LUNCH WE DECIDED TO GO OVER TO THE BLACKFOOT LIFT THINKING THAT IT WOULDN'T BE AS FOGGY. WRONG! THE ENTIRE

MOUNTAIN WAS PRETTY MUCH IN A FOG, JEFF WAS ONLY ABOUT 10-15 FEET AWAY FROM ME WHEN HE TOOK THIS PICTURE. BEFORE WE LEFT, JEFF AND OUR FRIEND BRYANT TOOK TO THE TOP OF DREAM CATCHER AND THEY EVEN GOT A LITTLE OUT OF SORTS IN THE FOG.

WE HAD HIGH HOPES THAT THE FOG MIGHT LIFT BEFORE THE END OF THE DAY BUT IT DIDN'T. THE FOG WAS THERE TO STAY, SO WE WILL JUST HAVE TO GO BACK ANOTHER DAY, AND PRAY FOR NO FOG.
