Friday was spent enjoying opening day at Maverick Mountain, a wonderful little ski area in Polaris. It has only 1 lift, but it packs 27 runs. So Friday I strapped on my skis and headed up to enjoy the slopes. It had snowed all day on Thursday so the snow was excellent.
Of course it was a bit cold, but it was an excellent time. I met a lot of wonderful people on the lift. A professor of mathematics at the school in Dillon, a carpenter and hard core Constitutionalist (i.e. supported Ron Paul in the election) and a kid just about to graduate from college and wondering what his future is going to hold given the economy is in a shambles.
I told him what I did in 86 when the economy sucked. I went to Grad school. And look what it got me. I got to travel all over the world, see wonderful things, meet a host of wonderful people (many who are friends to this day) and in the end I am part of the many the proud the 6.7% unemployed. But between then and now I had a blast.
