Winter
Jan, didn’t you ever watch the ski jump tournaments in Oslo? There was a large ski jump thing by the river and it seemed that there were people from all over competing and watching, Once when it wasn’t being used my cousin and another kid and I climbed to the top and slid down on our butts. We were caught and scolded because we removed the snow from the slide. Apparently I started crying and one of the big guys felt sorry for me and took me to the top and held me while he skied down the thing and jumped. It was a thrill of a lifetime for me. We never used it for a slide again. In those days I liked winter. I have changed.
