I’ve always been fascinated by glasses and always ask to try on my friends’ pairs. (I’ll probably need them sooner rather than later.) I liked these! 📷

Skiing today was fantastic! ⛷️🎥

And I just love finding these impossibly balanced rocks out in nature. They’re so neat! 📷

You know how in The Santa Clause, Tim Allen’s beard grows back the moment he looks back at it? That just happened with the snow in my driveway. I got home and shoveled. It was not snowing. I open the door a short time later and BAM! A fresh inch of snow. Out of nowhere! 🫠 📷

Curling! At the FISU World University Games 📷

I helped out at the ski jumps for the FISU World University Games tonight. Best seat* in the house! (*I was standing, and eyeballing where the jumpers landed as a backup in case of camera/computer failure.)
