The breathtaking mountain stands proud and unshakeable, buried under feet and feet of snow. The skiers ride across, dodging trees, rocks, snowmen and fallen bodies as they race to get the first cup of cocoa. Does anyone ever stop to dig away all the snow and appreciate the vista they just sped through? I should hope not - that would be dangerous and ruin it for everyone.
But today's daf is different. Yes, we have a little keeping track to do in this Mishnah (6 marriage cases dealing with different mixes of the same variables), but buried underneath are some of the most fascinating, relevant sugyas dealing with acquisition, "Halachic דעת", and the underlying structure of the תקנות חז"ל. And yet, much like skiing, we will cover ground. We will behold awesome sights (and some will race through on double speed). We will be warmer than we expected to be, and we will have EARNED that hot cocoa by the fireplace at the end of the day. (Especially if we've done Chazara.)
