I figured its the right time for a countdown. Before I go into any diatribes here are some pics from my September and October. The flight is imminent and most of every decision that I make revolves around the departure date. I should probably be concentrating at the tasks at hand a little more but concentration is impulsive and I can't seem to stop getting powder snow on mountain peaks in my mind. Work is just 8 hours that try to distract me from thinking about what to bring and what is no longer an item I keep. As I write this and try to assemble my thoughts in a blurb I got distracted by an email from Vail Lift Operations discussing the first training date... exhibit A.
Went to buy skis today. They are gonna be a major purchase but as I look at it, that will only prove to be reinforcement that if I am willing to fork it over, I am doing the right thing, and that feeling will last.
What is an important distraction from Colorado is the project that I am doing with Tom Gennara. We are assembling a piece that showcases the plight of the forgotten homeless of the American Veteran. These guys fought for their country, sacrificed their lives and their minds in many ways to make this country safe for all of us and now that they are back and struggling the only people that will help them, besides the underfunded VOA are local photographer Tom Gennara and a recent college grad that wants to help but also would take most video projects that allow his creative input. The 5 gentlemen we interviewed were amazing in their ability to be candid. We asked a lot of them. Open up about what has been the most difficult thing in their lives. And all five of them did. You couldn't get that kind of honesty in all of Wall Street.
Anywho, I'm proud to be where I am and I am proud of where I am going. Through all of my faults, the ones I am self-aware of and the ones I am not, I feel like each day is progress, and thats what I like about life.
