Tis Christ our God, who far on high
Hath heard your sad and bitter cry;
Himself will your salvation be;
Himself from sin will make you free.
Merry Christmas from Steve and Margaret Taylor, Park City, UT. Image Gallivan Square, Salt Lake City, UT. 20 December 2024.

Powder day. Three inches on arrival. Light snow thru 11:00 AM whereupon it became too crowded to stay.
Evening: Had three couples over for cocktails. A coupla hours of good friends and stimulating conversation.
Above: Contrary to what the meme indicates, I didn't go around her this time. I finally received her permission to reduce the fleet from four to two, trading in three bikes, the two Ducs and the BMW F800 GS, for a new Multistrada (my 2024 Christmas present). Keep the new Multistrada in Park City and the still new seeming 2021 Goldwing in Ivins. I knew I had to get her permission this time in view of the major faux pas ten years ago when I bought a Ducati Diavel on her birthday without telling her. I wonder if the Pamellato visit to O.C. Tanner in Park City had anything to do with her being more amenable to me getting a new bike?

Yours truly in the pink of health.

Never forget Megumi getting lost at PCMR and your insouciance about the whole matter. Yes. You had total confidence in your daughter, and you were right to think that way and train her that way. Good dad is Malcolm.
Great memories of good ski days with friends.
you are the only one still skiing of that group.
Keep it up⛷️⛷️

A memorable day. Recalls the many times we skied together over the years. Missing your company skiing these days. You would always pick a run that tested my resolve.
