Sometimes I refer to "W"s hair as "Ted Ligety hair". It's irreverent and unruly and will stand straight up if left to it's own right, just like Ted Ligety's. Today was "W"s first day on the slopes (Chickadee, Snowbird). PBTB says he's a natural, he went more than one run without falling at all. He may have something else in common with Ted. It was a blizzard, they were up there for 6 hours and he still didn't want to come home. That's some dedication that he did not inherit from his mama. I last about 5 minutes in the cold.
I'm re-thinking this hobby as I consider the financial commitment, PBTB says it will be good incentive for him to do well in school. Well, yes, that's true.
