east wind party

Today I learned that if we get the right kind of strong, gusty east wind, since we're just on the west side of a ridge, we don't see it. The phone has been ringing off the hook all day, which is a sure sign that the EI community is feeling crummy, but we're feeling fine. I'd invite everybody over, except everybody reacts to each other, the house, etc., so it wouldn't really help.

In other wind-related news, I got to ride the entire north end of the Fantasy Island trail system for the first time this morning, where I learned that I should not absent-mindedly follow my husband off the jump at the half-pipe, but as usual, crashing really hurts much less than you'd expect.
