A Skier Looks at 31

I used to listen to Jimmy Buffet's "A Pirate Looks at 40" and think, "wow, 40....I'm never gonna be that old..." Suddenly it comes on the radio today and I realize its only 9 yrs away, if I'm so fortunate to have another 9 years. The closer 40 comes, the more apparent it becomes that life is not about how good you are at something....how much $ you take....or how many heads you turn.

One thing it is about?: enjoying this moment, NOW. "." Just like a favorite old Chinese saying: "One Moment, One Chance....Always"

This guy seemed like he had it figured out well before 40. He'll live on in every person out there who continues the struggle to make the most of life...in whatever endeavor they find passion.

Be one of those people. Don't wait.....

Arne Backstrom died today.

Lots of you didn't know Arne....thats unfortunate.

He was 29.
