Skiing in the Rain

Jim, Dave and I each skied a set today in the rain. It has been a long time since my corneas have been pelted with rain drops as I endeavor to stay centered and lean away from the boat. I thought it would suck; but it was kind of cool. The slight disorientation made me care less about things I usually fret over. More fodder for my "full-seeming" life. Sorry fact: 600 mg of Ibuprofen is both the minimum dose required to mediate the pain from my fractured patella; and also, it seems, more than enough to cause an ulcer.
