Winning, Part V

Here's our most recent winner. Adam competed with 300 other skiers at the Brighton races on Saturday. He had set a goal to place in the top ten, which is pretty ambitious for a ten-year-old. He placed 8th. Here's a cute story. Dell called Kristin on the way home. She asked how the race went. Dell said, "Oh, we had a good time," which is code for things didn't go so well--better not to ask right now. When Kristin got home, Dell was gone and Adam was in the shower. She started folding laundry, thinking through how she would respond to Adam when he got out of the shower. Suddenly, there he stood in the doorway, dripping wet from the shower, a towel around his waist and wearing a huge smile and his medal. Surprise!! Sorry, no picture of that available.

Congratulations Adam! I think I made it down a bunny hill once or twice without falling -- no medals for me! And btw, I have to say that your comment about the broken indian pot made me laugh out loud!
