I wonder how many of you out there have a friend or relative that practices passive aggression? I don’t know about you, but I wish these people would just grow up and stand up and talk out their issues instead of making life more complicated for those people around them. My poor wife has so many people in her family that are passive aggressive and it drives her absolutely crazy! I think that people who practice passive aggression are sneaky cowards. I don’t envy my wife having to deal with so many of them!
Many of my friends from New England still keep in touch on a regular basis. That sure helps me to get through the many long and lonely days of recovery from my accident! Jarod called me to wish me a Merry Christmas last night. He was telling me that Santa had been really good to him this year. He said that he found a Burton snowboard under the Christmas tree at his parent’s house when he went over there for dinner. Jarod says he’s not quite sure how to send Santa a notice of new address from when he moved out to his own place last year! In addition he got a new Burton beanie and a new Burton jacket to wear while he is out on the slopes trying out his new board.
I never learned to snowboard; I always enjoyed alpine skiing and snowmobiling. Snowboarding always seemed like a lot of fun that I’d like to try someday, but now with all of these back injuries I have I’ll probably never get the chance to try it. My wife says we’re too old for that anyway and it’s time we started acting more our age. To be honest I think she’s just worried that some of the other boarders might run into us and that could really hurt! Well, too old, or too injured, either way it looks like I’ll just have to be satisfied watching that sport from a distance!
