I Will Ski

Chunky and I learned to ski this winter (technically I re-learned, but I didn't have much to start with).
Afton Alps offers a three-week school including your very own skis. Unfortunately I tore by right-hand UCL the week after we finished the course so my career went the way of Lindsey Vonn for the season (darn those little speed demon child snowboarders). The important thing is we did something new and fun and did it together!

Monthly Book Review: February 2018

Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro - Oxford defines soul as "a person's moral or emotional nature or sense of identity". What determines each of our souls? This is the kind of book that you can't say too much about or you'll give it all away. I felt like I should like this book more than I did so I rented the movie (I didn't even know it had been made into a movie until I started looking for more info after I finished the book). It's rare that you can say the movie was a good compliment to the book. 3/5

Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult - Timely topic + good character development + moral dilemmas = great book. Ignorance is a lack of education and ability to ignore what is. It is through small acts that racism is perpetuated or negated. 5/5
