Instead of rushing around from day to day and always seeming to be pressed to get things done at work, with family or with friends, for the past few months I've had some time to reflect on a number of things such as:
It got me thinking about the people that I know and the things that they continue to do despite their advancing years. With a healthy lifestyle, good mobility, reasonable genetics, a dash of good fortune and smart decision making, it seems that outdoor activities such as alpine skiing and rock climbing (two things that I REALLY like to do) are truly multi-generational sports and sustainable activities over many, many decades.
Who knows? With a bit of luck and good snow conditions, I may even get my name on the Sundial at Osler!
Fingers crossed!!!
- What activities do I really enjoy?
- Who do I cherish being with?
- What do I want to do right now?
- Where would I like to live?
- What would I like to do in the future (when the opportunity presents itself)?
- What would I like to accomplish in the next 30 years?
- Where would I like to be in the next 30 years?

With this in mind, some people and places that come to mind are:
... skiing with the family at Whistler/Blackcomb ... 7th Heaven, I believe ...
... summer climbing in Squamish ...
... and the beginning an alpine adventure in the Rocky Mountains ...
Fingers crossed!!!
