Moving quickly forward to 2010, lets introduce the Tomo.  I somehow made a promise to go with him to snowboard one time.  I may have been drunk or maybe crazy, maybe both, but I felt a need to make good on that promise regardless of my previous experience.  I was lucky enough to find another beginner to [suffer] with me, also someone who was nice enough not to yell at me when I started crying on the slope (true story, it happened).  Tomo, Janet and driver Tuthien and I embarked on Saturday, February 27 to Kirkwood….

…and I survived!  HURRAY!  Here’s some fun shots from Saturday:
