    … decided to do another one tonight … after my procedure in Flagstaff this morning, I headed over to Brandy’s for the magnificent Lattes that they make … only two shots of espresso, but it helped. I wanted to shoot the peaks from the ground so it was up to Snow Bowl and I took this shot from the drop off lot at the Chalet. Humphreys Peak is on the left and Agassiz on the right. In the photo I sent out last night, I was a few hundred feet (about a sixteenth of an inch in this photo) above the ridge at about the second little peak to the left of Agassiz Peak.

    There were quite a few skiers and snowboarders on the slopes and it was just a fantastic feeling … cool temps, the wind blowing like heck and I visualized and re-traced my flight path from Humphreys to Agassiz from last nights photo. Life is so terrific … just being here and experiencing it.

    It would have been a fantastic day to be running the ridge today, but fun to just mentally do it too. One of my all-time favorite videos is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUWjvhmOrUg some really incredible soaring footage and also Red Bull/Citizen Watches, glider aerobatic pilot Luca Bertossio dazzles with a performance near the end of it. There are few things like flying pure sailplanes and I spent my first eleven years and 1800 hours flying them, but the motorglider (now ten years and about 1200 hours) will do it all too and I do not need tows and ground crews anymore. Not quite the incredible lines of the soaring machines, but close!

    So this will be it … back Monday morning. Keep breathing and enjoy the day you find yourself in … the only one you are sure of!

    Cheers

    Ted

    Give me to gladly go my way and say no word of mine own woe;

            But let me smile each day.

    Give me the strength to do my task I ask; and that I shall not rue

            The toiler’s grimy mask.

    Give one loved hand to me, and leave the eve, all undisturbed as we

            Our strength of souls retrieve.

    And lastly give sweet sleep. Closed sight, no fright that fears will o’er me creep;

            And now a sweet goodnight.

    — Max Ehrmann

    The Bloody Machine
    By Tommy Acosta
    What is a life anyway? A single “life?” Is it nothing more than a collection of emotions and thoughts, reverberating pain and pleasure, hopes, dreams and fear? Are we merely meat; flesh and blood creations encapsulating what we believe is a soul? Or is a single life the microcosm and macrocosm of human life on earth, each one of us a unique representation of who we believe we are and the whole of humanity at once? We are born. We grow old. We die. Everything we experience is but a dream between those two points. Or are we manifestations of a Divine Creator, every one of us complete in the image that we were made? So, we are told.
