I used to have a pin that said "Nothing beats a Quickie". I was reminded of this pin when I ran into a fellow SOX fan, long-time acquaintance Chris Waddell. Notice the people magazine bit in the link. Anyway, he was at the birthday party of our friend Liz on Sunday evening and broke out of a conversation with not 1 or 2, but 3 women to chat with me. Considering the admiration I have for Chris not only as a ski racer but as a human being, I was pretty honored. I was also reminded why Gardie has long hair.
In other news, I have begun establishing contacts in the snow mechanics and avalanche dynamics world to possibly get a PhD. Then I could be: Jared W. Nelson, PhD--wow!. I will learn more in a couple weeks when I go to the ISSW. This is a pretty exciting field for me and while I don't see it being extremely lucrative, I am pretty sure that Anna and I could live in a place we really wanted to. Speaking of Anna, she turned 25 for the second year in a row yesterday! Both years I said to her, "You only turn 25 once!" Apparently, I can integrate over an area, but have trouble with simple addition.
First cross race in many years is on Sunday. I am sure a report with ensue.
Oh yeah--I wish I were there too Tbird. Thanks for thinking of me!

I think you need to post a race report. Between you and Bryson, the Sienna team will have excellent representation at Cross races. Much of the community can't wait to read about them.
