snowboarding

Okay I'm in it, I'm learning at the ripe age of 39. I've got the gear, I've got the teacher, the pass, I rented the board, boots, binding, I've got the support, the universe has chauffeured my experience up to this point... And my job is lock in and go thru it. 

I'm sitting in the Park City rest area, it's my third time snowboarding. Apparently it unlocks at your 9-10th time. 

I'm in it, the growing pains, the falling, getting stuck, fumbling with all the gear, strapping in and out, and in and out and in again and my legs giving out at the end of the day.

But this is an opportunity that was spoon fed to me, the opportunity to live here, learn the sport and try as many times as I can muster up the motivation to fumble, fall and fuck up to learn this sport. It's hard, but I feel very lucky to try.
