good news for people who love good news

I made the team of 10 U.S. athletes selected for the European World Cups next month, and I am very happy and very relieved. (See my last post for an explanation of why I was doubtful whether I'd make it.) Now I can't wait to get up early tomorrow morning to train super G and keep tweaking my new monoski. I'm very glad to report that Nick made it, too. We are skiing so equally right now that it wouldn't feel right if one of us made it and the other didn't.
