It's snowing on Saddleback Mountain, and the snow guns out the window are blasting away. If it gets too cold, I'm told, they don't make snow, just fog. The granddaughters have skied all morning, consumed wedges of pizza larger than they are, and now it ought to be naptime, at least for Nana and Pop-pop. My laptop and I are happily in the lodge, supervising. It's 31 years since I skied Saddleback. Wow -- surely I'm not that old. We did not get Big Snow in the west central part of Maine, but that's ok -- we keep what we get, so every little bit counts. Today we should get a couple of inches, maybe, at home, but here on the mountain there's a heavy snow warning (six inches). I think they can handle it. Sharon, what you need is a skateboard and a leash for those boxes. Don't mess with rotator cuffs -- I speak as One Who Knows. I had a little tear from a fall; I helped belay a storm window of substantial size; I fell again on the smallest piece of ice in Franklin County... until finally my right arm was able to rise only to waist height, and that was that. If you can manage to heal, a few weeks' inconvenience is well worth trading for the surgery. Doesn't ADA cover rotator-cuff resting? Kathy
