Although some people that went on the trip would doubtlessly convinced that it does not love them! Well, the ski trip was fantastic. I got two great days of skiing in, definitely enjoying the sunny parts of the second day, as when the clouds cleared we were provided a beautiful view of the surrounding hills and even over to the ocean if you were far enough up the mountain, which often we were. There were a few close calls of people falling off cliffs and sliding past their escaped ski in the out of bounds area and having to climb back up a hill, but all in all we enjoyed ourselves immensely and any wounds should heal in not too long a time. I have only once ever laughed as hard skiing as I did on this trip ... long story, and probably a "guess you had to be there" sort of funny, so I won't bother telling it.
Aside from the skiing, there was much to be enjoyed, such as sledding, eating, languishing in the hot tub, playing cards, and watching the Canucks game. The fellowship was a real blessing to me, as I tend to end up spending a lot of time alone when classes are on; it was almost like spending a few days with a really big family (there were 29 of us) ... :)
So yeah, I'm spending this evening just reflecting on that wonderful time, and preparing to move ahead to the rest of the week and weekend, when I have a hockey tournament (I'm playing goal), and also actually need to get some school work done! Hooray for that.
Hopefully I get some pictures from the ski trip up soon. I know there were some great ones taken.
As far as the Leafs game goes, well, I didn't get to see it, but I did watch highlights, and it must be said that Gill was not responsible for any of those goals. Didn't really look like Raycroft could do much about it either, at least not on 2 of them. I think they really need a solid effort tomorrow against the Isles, to get them back on track. Tucker coming back in a week or two should also be a boost. Why is it that Thomas almost always seems to play really well against the Leafs? The Canucks game (that I watched in lieu of the Leafs game) was really good, and it was nice for them to play well in front of Sabourin, and for him to get a win (it had been quite a drought).
