well who the heck cares when you are sitting in the surroundings of skislopes.
The kids are having a wonderful time. Riens is a star when i comes down to snowboarding (ok the rule for me is: everybody born before 1970 is not allowed on a snowboard, so needless to ask : i did not make a complete fool out of myself by trying)
By the way it was Lauran's birthday today, she turned 13 today. Please do not make any reference to the movie 13, i had nightmares about it :-) ). That is her going down the slopes.
Usual stuff for the birthday: the nice breakfast, cakes, her favorite evenign dinner and the thing she loves the most: Stories from the old days. So with my older sister (with husband and kid) and younger one we had a lot of stories to tell to her about the gold old days.
Even admitting to smoking the first cigarettes with my brother and even remembering the brand: Boule Nationale. Reminds you of the how quickly things can come and go.
trying to enjoy still the last two full days of skiing, but can not reflect on what my daughter was saying this evening when at 21h00 i opened up the computer to check the urgent mails: Dad, is there really no way you can do without ..... and in a way she is right, but only this week 5 phone calls of people apologizing to disturb me on my holiday, but they neede just one info from me. It's strange that the definition of holiday is change to : the days that you are 12 hours in front of a screen, but only 2 if your're lucky. And the worst of all: people expect you to be ....
well happy travels to area's without Wifi and Cell reception
