Another Step Up; No Celibacy.

Our friend C was here over the past weekend and we went skiing again. It had snowed for 2 days before and about 4 inches had been accumulated. Ideal condition on the slope. We went on Sunday. It was cold and windy but we had some awesome runs and we did a black-blue, Yeha... Definitely a step up from last time. I didn't fall at all. However, one of the buckles on my boots broke so I had to go get another pair but then the guy gave me 11.5 instead of 11. Those absent-minded teenagers. I was really itchy for a black diamond run but the loose boots prevented my bold move.
The day before, we went to visit the Shaker's village. It came as a shock when we learned that they were strictly celibate! I only knew that they shook when praying, which somehow gave me a false imagination that they might be good at copulation (guess I was wrong!). When adopted orphans reached 18, they were given choices to stay or leave. Most of them left. Obviously everyone likes sex and as a result, shakers pretty much have gone extinct now. But I actually thought of a friend of mine who might be the perfect person to revive the whole phenomena. I will have to take her there for a tour when she comes to visit me.
We do love the chairs they make. Have to find one on auction sometime.
