What Else Do You Do With a Ski Lift in Fall?

I will tell you what you do with it my friend. You get your three pals together and ride the thing up to the top of Rib Mountain. That is what you do with a ski lift in the midlle of fall.

I just spent the weekend in Wausau. It's a cool enough town. We had fun. The time went too fast and too far between.

With that said, there isn't much that I value more than the times like this past weekend. Time and proximity are important to me. It can seem that the two cannot really coexist. If proximity is reduced, so goes the time. I would prefer to be able to do more, to say more, to listen more.

Times like this weekend help me to grow, help me to remember what is important in life, even independent of these relationships. Times like this weekend make me marvel at what has come from the last 14 years. Beautiful, amazing, life changing things, new friends who become old friends, new little people who become new friends.

Words like "fortunate" and "blessed" begin to explain how I feel. I will always try to do my best to remember how I feel and to share those sentiments.

Thank you my friends.
