Ode to Joy

Roughly five hours after I took the sunset picture, I returned to the Little Condo on the Prairie to find that I had NO keys with me.  It was close to - never mind what time - and I had spent 12 hours at school.  All I wanted to do was SLEEP.  I called the locksmith on my cell phone.  He - who spoke neither English nor Spanish - came out to pick the lock and let me in.  No dice.  The locksmith had to destroy the lock to let me in.  The end result?  I  have a new doorknob.

This morning I awoke to a most joyful sight - snow.  Once a ski instructor, always a ski instructor.
