"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Okay, it's been a helluva week for me regarding skiing. Last week I lost a ski whilst skiing the the light and fluffy duff at the local hill. I've spent 7 hours over three days looking for that fvcker. :cuss:

Guess I'll have to hike back up there when the snow melts. :up:

FYI, I am an AVID skier and been skiing for over 26 years. It's a HUGE part of my life and I've have some doozy wrecks over the years. But this one takes the cake. Now, I've broken skis before, but NOTHING like THIS!

Amazingly, I wasn't hurt. Walked away without any bumps or bruises. Absolute miracle. But the skis are another story!


Enjoy!!:D

Haha, I love the dismount somersault off your planks!

So a buried rock just cracked both your sticks at the front binding mount on the landing?

I guess that's just an excuse to buy some better skis for b/c and next season, maybe some nice custom ones, as long as they're burly.

I had an epic day here in the CO last friday - probably one of my top 5 ever. 18+ inches in the trees, discovered some new hidden glades, and hucked a nice 10 foot boulder.
