If any of you are at Heavenly Valley next week (Tuesday through Thursday) I will be skiing along the top and on the Nevada side. Say hi.

Do not forget that if you do something enriching in the area of history or science and bring me proof, you get +5 Extra credit. Only one activity per vacation please. Extra activities are for your benefit and should be enjoyed.
