Forestville Real Grooming Report: Lori Nick and Andy triple rolled Noque to 17, Animoosh, Chiwaji bypass, Mukwa, Migizi, Gookookoo, Wabaan, Boozhoo, Papasay, Zhing, and all cut overs. It was still warm and tough to set an acceptable track in the small hours of the morning. The plan is to try again to set in the morning when it gets cooler.

Too Long To Read Report:
When I received the petition from Our Friends of St. Nicetas of Remesiana I realized I have never told you about my favorite(?) audit professor, “Easy Steve”. Of course, in those days, one was never on a first name basis with any professor; they were always either Doctor ________ or Professor __________ but I ran into Steve decades later and he informed me of his new nick name. In the olden days, when even survey classes were taught by tenured professors from prestigious universities, if one learned the subject they could get a “C”. If you mastered the material you generally got a “B” and if you excelled you may get an “A” but there was no guarantee. Curves were things used to describe marginal supply or gravity waves; not a grade system. “Easy Steve” would generally flunk out 30 percent of the class. The Finance Department was filled with former Accounting majors that failed Audit. On the up side, if you studied under Easy Steve you passed all parts of the CPA exam on the first try. Then, when the on-line student survey caused students to sign up for other professors he had a decision to make: he could lighten up or retire. Now, in retirement he is called “Easy Steve”. My father always said, “the old way is the best way”. Well, I have a carbon fiber bike and haven’t owned a pair of pine tar skis for decades but he was right on this one. Although schools were closed and we received a prodigious amount of snow we didn’t have the accompanying follow on cold weather or drifting. In short, it was not a storm, much less a “Named Storm”. There is no “Grade Inflation here.
