Remember, it's "Donners", not "dinners".

[epershand]

So, yesterday was not very successful from a skiing perspective, but the failure at skiing was a productive failure, in terms of random silly creative output.



This, incidentally, is what a bank of powder looks like after you have tripped and faceplanted in it. That crater you see is the shape that an epershand makes on impact. I really don't know how the left ski got that buried, but I'm pretty sure that it's what took me down.


lauralyrics was kind enough to provide a caption for my image, which I then felt obliged to illustrate in a sketchy sort of fashion.


It all started, of course, because I was a wee bit distracted composing (and subsequently tweeting) the following:

This is just to say

I have snowploughed
through the mogul

which
you were probably
saving
for a later run

Forgive me
it was intimidating
so bumpy
and so steep

As lauralyrics wisely concluded, "Everyone gets all upset about texting & driving, but nobody says anything about dangers of skiing & tweeting! Now conclusively proven." Let that be a lesson to you all.
