Sunny and 54 here in Denver today.\u00a0 Heading out to the zoo with grandson Gabe and daughter-in-law Jen.<\/p>\n
Ruth and Jon drove into the mountains to A-basin at 5:30 this morning.\u00a0 Ruth has an all day ski lesson while Jon will try to find runs not crowded with newbies.\u00a0 Not much snow here so the existing runs have become clogged.<\/p>\n
Jon moved out here ten years ago and has taken full advantage of the location.\u00a0 He skis as often as he can, which means weekly at least in most cases.\u00a0 He climbs mountains and skies down rugged terrain.<\/p>\n
He’s no youngster, either, at 43. He’s stayed in good shape and manages his chronic illnesses with grace.\u00a0 He has diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and addison’s disease.\u00a0 Any one of these would give most folks an excuse to sit in the easy chair, but not Jon.<\/p>\n
He’s an artist, a teacher, a father, an athlete and a home renovator. Pretty impressive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
