Have you forgotten that Pope John Paul II is one of the few skiing Popes?

Hmmmm better make sure you make it to church sunday after posting that one.

He's correct! I teach at a Catholic High School. We're off Friday for the funeral. A fellow teacher has a house basically across from the Grand Union at Hunter.....guess where we're going Thurday Evening.

I recall reading an article in one of the ski magazines about Pope JP-II skiing when he was living in Poland...what small world it is we live in.

If all works out well, I'll be there Thursday night with some other teachers. If not ... I'll be flying up solo Friday morning.
