And A Few Appear Here!!

I'm at the desk in Aspen. Sitting here, listening to bird songs and dub reggae. Not a bad moment. This has been one of the greatest weekends of my life. Pg. 160, the cowbird. Page 162, Scarlett Taninger. Pg. 163, Cardinal. Pg. 165, Rose Breasted Grosby. Pg. 163, Blue Grosby. Indigo Bunty.

I'm considering my life. Feeling fantastic, enhanced by a buzz. Skied all day. Party on the back side apres ski, then got stoked on huge wet sunset back-side-Aspen tow-in laps, hosted by Mr. Maui Elston himself driving the Snowmobile. Nice. Skied with Mr. Justin, Dan the Man, and Kurk the Fantastic. Christian blew my mind with a speed take-off yank that nearly broke me. I'll never connect and commit to a tow-rope unless I know for sure that the snowmobile driver knows i'm there.

Life is good in Aspen, Colorado. There is a big secret lying here, and while I don't want to go giving it away, I just have to say, life is so good living here. I'll tell you the truth. I work pretty hard (although i've spent lots of time not working hard), in a uniform, and mostly keep a smile on my face. I try to skin up a mountain when work is over now that it's spring and it stays light late.

I ski every damn moment I can, whether it's my lunch break, or a Saturday or Sunday, when I just can't miss. I have to ski. It is like heroin. (I've never done heroin, but I really like skiing.) Pg. 179, McCallans, Long Sparrow.

Life is good. Choose a good one, and choose to be happy. I swear to god it works for me. I drink like a fish in my free-time, I party hard, and ski hard, and love hard, and smile as much as possible, and talk about happy things as much as I can; and it works. Let me recommend it highly.

Life is so good, skiing, being outside, being with the best people in the world, living in one of the best towns in the world.

I blow it sometimes, and get stressed out, do something dumb, or hard, or painful, and i'll forget how lucky I am, for a lonely second; but when I remember how good it is, how much I have to be grateful for, I just can't help but smile again; and tell somebody next to me that we are the luckiest people in the world.

Mr. Gore on Top of His Game

"Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something special in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your Optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best, to be the best, and expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature a smile. To give so much to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble."

This was written by Christian D. Larson (I have no idea who he is, but what a little nugget.) My boss gave it to me.

Be Well.

The Hill

Give me a break Hillary Clinton, you rubber, meaningless, undefined blob of politicianness. You decline to say whether Homosexuality is Immoral? You tell people that it is for others to decide. Who? Deciders like George W. Bush? How sickening.

Hillary Clinton is no leader. A leader, one would hope, is capable of having an opinion. George W. has opinions, he's a leader all right, it's just that he has this overwhelming tendency to lead in the wrong direction. But just because he is a dumb leader, doesn't mean he's not a leader. He would tell you that homosexuality is immoral, and he'd be wrong. He would also probably defend himself by telling you about what God thinks. Never a good sign. Can't we start thinking for ourselves, instead of being led by what we think a made up God thinks, and by politicians who won't even tell us what they think? Jesus (where are you now)!!??

Homosexuality exists in every animal species. If it is immoral then The Creator is "immoral." The Hill is just amorphous. A sorry blob of meaninglessness, wasting the people's time. Come on people, take back your power, demand to know what your "leaders" actually think! If they talk about what they think God thinks, realize that you are in trouble. Run away.
