I know I already told you that I am sorry but I wanted to write it down so that you could find it later, when you are older. I know that you are remembering things and if this is one, this post gives me the ability to give you some context that I either could not explain to you or you could not understand. Insight into the past is a powerful thing I hope. I don’t know what memories you will hang onto but my earliest and important memories are very special to me and I wish I had some more of the context, the details. Many of them are feelings more than images or video sequences. I got a bit frustrated with you this weekend. I made a mistake and wanted to take you with me as I ride, not as you do. You belong on the magic carpet ride for at least this year or until I can figure out how to get you to stop and turn (I read that red light green light might help and erase my track with follow-the-leader. I saw what I wanted to see (Hannah on skis and ready to go) and assumed that because your spirit was ready all systems were go. But I forget. I forget the sore muscles. The oddness of skis, perhaps a reason I made the jump to a board. I forgot that it should be about what you can do and spent the day without my board. Next time, when we go, I’ll need to convince you that I’t better to go to the magic carpet ride and see if you can catch me along with the stop-and-go games. I think it would be fun. I’ll need to buy a stomp pad for this new board though. While I really like the look of the black matte its a bit slicker than the T6 was. I need to get one for Julie too.
