Quotes

  • Actual happiness looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn’t nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand. - Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
  • Education
    "Must we always teach our children with books? Let them look at the stars and the mountains above. Let them look at the waters and the trees and flowers on Earth. Then they will begin to think, and to think is the beginning of a real education." -David Polis
  • "Above all, do not lose your desire to walk: every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness; I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it... but by sitting still, and the more one sits still, the closer one becomes to feeling ill... Thus if one just keeps walking, everything will be all right." -Soren Kierckgaard
  • Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. - Albert Camus
  • How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. Annie Dillard

DIY Pulk

 

IMAG0326

Earlier this winter, I seriously considered spending $300 for a used pulk so that I could get out and ski with Arlo this winter.  I'm so glad I didn't, after renting a pulk at a nordic center recently, I realized that it would be pretty easy to make one.  Mark was quickly able to pull together the parts I needed, a couple of long hollow pieces of aluminum (first time I've been grateful for that humongous pile of scrap metal he has been hauling around for years), a padded belt and some rope, which he attached to Arlo's $13 plastic sled and we have a pulk that works just as good as the $300 model!
