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

More skiing

Silas told me today that people are disappointed that there haven't been any videos of him skiing on the blog this year.  So, not wanting to make anyone sad, here we go, it starts out with just Levi, but ends with Silas & Levi skiing together.

 

This shows their preferred technique, straight down with no or minimal turns.   Si likes to throw in a few turns when it takes him to jumps or rough patches at the edge of the trail (adjacent to the woods).

Fantastic skiing! Si, you made me a little nervous when you were close to the trees. Your dad also skied close to trees when he was your age! You are doing so well. Levi, wow, can't believe this is your first year, you look great. I hope there is snow at the end of the month so maybe we could all go together.

Wow! They were going really fast there for a while! I got a little scared! I am happy to see their skiing skills, they are both very good!
