When I became a blogger I was a little excited and nervous about becoming part of the “blogosphere” - that uncouth, unmoderated shoutfest that gets so much attention in the MSM (mainstream media). Of course, cross country skiers are a bit outside the mainstream, so our blogs don’t tend in that direction. Until today.

A lot has happened since my last post. School is out here at New Hampton, so I have endured final exams, graduation, lots of meetings, and also five days in the mountains with a bunch of sophomores, since our 10th graders go backpacking in lieu of exams each year. Perhaps I’ll have time to write about that later, but for now I am almost busier than I was when I had a job. But not too busy to drive to Rhode Island for a race.
