There's the Inktober challenge - a drawing a day, everyday for the month of October. Last October was my third attempt and first success. I put my pens and my feet up afterward and haven't drawn a darn thing since.
A few weeks ago, Wolfgang tipped me off to #Inktober52. The powers that be wanted to keep the drive alive for a full year's worth of prompts; one prompt per week for 2020. Oooh, that sounded like fun. Then I proceeded to not draw a darn thing.
But hey, January was busy! What with settling into a new town and new house, selling the old house in the old town, January 2020 is pretty much a blur. I felt the dust had settled enough, and I'm a month fashionably late this week, where the prompt is "hammer".
In other being-lazy news, we've been watching the TV series "Fortitude" on Amazon Prime Video. Seen it?
It looked interesting to me as I like the arctic-city-where-normal-people-won't-live setting. But the show is stranger than I expected. I mean that in a good way. It's also rather gross. I mean that in a NOT good way. I just cover my eyes for the gross parts.
Since it's been cold and snowy here all week, watching Fortitude makes Colorado feel like a winter vacation spot... oh, wait. Colorado IS a winter vacation spot. The lift lines yesterday at Vail ski resort made the news.

So who are these people packing in at Vail and distributing cash all willy nilly? Is there a maximum occupancy for a ski resort mountain? Oh well, more power to 'em. I was not part of the mass, but was rather down in the lowlands. With a snow shovel in hand.
Maybe when I win the lottery.

75 minutes is a long time if just standing in the cold to me. I used to like skiing but I have to tell you I don't think I'd have done that in my hey day. After I took a fall, NOT on the slopes, and had to have several back surgeries I only now cross country ski. And now I live in an area where I go to bed fine now and wake up with a sports injury, I fear what would happen to me if I did take more risks. :-)
Forget that! I do not like skiing but I would never stand in a line like that for anything! It would be so cold just standing there! UGH!
I have to tell you that I watch The Bachelor (and waste my time - except I am spending time with my daughter). The commercials are shocking me. Just shocking me - as to what is normal anymore. I don't need to watch Fortitude - I bet it is way over my comfort zone.
I am a bore I guess.
And I would love to go skiing - having done that in decades - no mon no fun!

Oh wow that photo does not make me want to ski. I don't like being out in the cold for too long so I don't really ski. I'm more of a hang in the lodge kind of gal. I should check out that show on prime. I need something new to watch.
$209 to stand there freezing your arse off??? No thanks.
