Slip-sliding...

[jay]

The last entry reminds me... I used my tiny Casio credit-card camera to shoot a video while sledding, holding it up with one hand while clinging to the spinning tube with the other. It actually turned out pretty well... if anyone's interested, it's here. (warning, 3MB AVI file)

Now, off for some tapas and talk with my beloved patgreene :-).

Wow, that looks like fun! Of course, the spinning made me a little queasy, but it still looks fun. :)

One can prevent spinning with deft toe drags... but it is slower. I need speed, myself ;-).

Where'd you go for tapas?

Re:

Iberia Restaurant in Menlo Park. The "warm cheese scones" (not scones as I think of them -- small warm cheese puffballs, really) and "devilled dates" (dates stuffed with chorizo and wrapped with bacon) are to die for.

You can order tapas in the bar, but I don't think you can in the dining room. We go and sit at a booth in the bar and order a bunch of tapas and drink sangria.

Well, now I'm warmed up for this weekend! Let's just hope I don't take such a bad tumble this year. More runs like yours, I think!

I hope that you find smooth sliding this weekend, with no tumbles!
