Tanis:  I went skiing!

Zach:  Oh really? Was it fun?

Tanis:  Yeah, it was really fun! I just haven’t been for so long.

Zach:  Are you a snow bunny?

Tanis:  Um, I used to feel like I was a snow bunny, Zach, but now I’d have to say I am definitely no longer… I, I pretty much sucked.

Zach:  Like, do you go off jumps?

Tanis:  I tried one jump and I fell. Kids laughing at me and stuff, because I’m all, “Watch out, guys!”

Zach:  That’s cool. Was the weather good?

Tanis:  Oh yeah. Well, we were at Bachelor. It was clear and sunny and it snowed the night before, so it was really nice. Gosh, I just hadn’t been for so long and my, um, my boyfriend, we were skiing together and he, um, had been sick all the week before, so we’d ski for maybe, you know, five minutes and my thighs would just burn so bad because I’m so not in shape to be skiing, you know. So, we’d just sit down on the snow…

Zach:  Did you have any, uh, big wipe-outs?

Tanis:  Um, I didn’t have any big wipe-outs, with the exception of my jump, but, uh, John lost his skies a few times. Yard sale!

Discussion

Well, it sounds like Tanis had a lot of fun, but maybe a little more practice is in order. I can just picture her going off a jump. I wish I could have seen it! So, do you like to ski? What other Winter sports do you like? Tell us about it at the Life Goes On message board! See you next week!—John
