From the ashes
February 2nd, 2005
Me and my wonderful ski instructor Erich Windisch on the top of Vail Mountain – 11,000 feet above sea level! Now 86 (!) years old, he was a ski jumper on the German Olympic team in ‘52, is in the Ski Hall of Fame and has a ski trail on the mountain named after him. Pretty cool, huh? Thanks to Jon Wise who took this shot.
On Vail Mountain (30 Jan 2005)“>
I’m alive, back from intercession and ready to face a new semester. Sort of. I got back from Vail at about 7am this morning having not gotten any sleep in about 24 hours, took a two hour nap, went fifteen minutes late to a class, registered, had lunch and then went to bed for the rest of the day. Maybe not such a great start to the semester.
Tomorrow I will shop many many classes.

Intercession was an eventful week, and a lot of fun. I read a couple of books, saw a couple of movies, had a number of good conversations, made a couple of important decisions and took four days for skiing lessons. The skiing was magnificent, as was the weather and the scenery. It’s great to feel so blessed.
