How is this day not over yet? I've been her about 18 hours already. (Ok. it's only been six, but it feels like 18.) If it wasn't for snowboarding tomorrow, I'd be bouncing off the walls. Wait. I can't because lawyers have invaded my office. (I didn't do it.)

What's the difference between lawyers and hookers? There are some things hookers just won't do.

One funny thing about being black and snowboarding. Every other black person on the mountain wants to be your friend. It's a pretty funny phenomenon. I can't tell you how many times I got the "What are we doing up on a mountain with these crazy crackers?" look.

Hopefully tomorrow will be the day I finally master the heel-side turn. (If you don't know what that is, don't ask.) Toe-side turns are a piece of cake. So is falling. But I persevere. This will be my first time out with my new board. I'm very excited. I wonder if my cute snowboard instructor will be there. I wonder if she'll remember me. (Probably not.) More later.
