yep, back from snowboarding (ouuuccccchhhh!) and of course can't really complain as much as i would LOVE to since jane is going through her thing and i would sound like a total baby (guilty!) by complaining about my self-imposed pain over her inevitable treatments!
she's doing great, out at the movies with the girls (27 dresses) and i'm trying to heal myself. can't help but feel as if there is a sense of impending doom - and i'm not quite sure if it's everything that jane's been through, or watching our kids become teenagers, or just getting old! maybe just a combination of all things - everyone seems to be talking about their kids going to college, or driving, or dating ... and commercials for plavix, hormone replacement, and alzheimer's remedies flash before me on the flat screen. as previously noted, it seems that NOT getting old is no good, and GETTING old isn't all that great!
so, maybe snowboarding is a good shot in the arm - if i can get beyond how OLD it actually makes me feel (creaky bones, bruised behind) and capitalize on the youthful and invigorating feeling of learning and doing something new! it's an uphill battle these days, but if i take my cues from jane's own positive and youthful attitude, i'm sure we'll all be okay!
