Yeah, no this is not a shot from our winter training season.  It is May 18, 2002 and yes that is snow you're seeing that we had on Saturday.

And yes, that is The Weather Channel parka I'm wearing... local Massachussets folks thought we were in town to do a report on first snow in May in over 200 years.

We all went to see the new Star Wars movies instead.

2 days of practice
1 day of flying
1 day of Star Wars
1 day of judging

a human body can only handle so much!

No, this was the only way to stay warm - close to the ground as our Fearless Leader discovered.
