there was a decent snowfall here today, so my neighbor dude and i both went awol from our responsibilities to sled in my back yard.
he brought his red flyer and i had a saucer sled. there are trees to navigate around and with a thin layer of ice under the snow, there was a fair amount of velocity.
the numerous times flying down the hill with no mishap came to a screeching halt when a tree decided to stick out a limb and tripped me. yes she did, i flipped and i flopped until i came to a stop. neighbor dude was laughing hysterically while i was rubbing the swelling redness that was my left cheek.
after a few minutes, i joined in and could not stop laughing either. the tree enjoyed all of this as well.
