I attempted to learn to snowboard yesterday in pretty icy conditions. I fell a lot, and now I'm sore. Falling on icy snow is a a lot like falling on gravel; a few choice strawberries and a lot of bruses too. It also uses a whole set of muscles that I don't often exercise. I'm sore in ways I can only compare to the circle of pain -- an infamous quasi-transcendent group warmup and conditioning exercise -- from my freshman year in the Experimental Theater Wing.

It's been a heavy weekend. Lots more to do going forward.
