Life spins by so quickly and one measure of the quick-spinning-ness is how infrequently I update this blog. While the winter was hard, there was lots of great work to do, and to some extent, that made the winter pass quickly. But once the ice melted and we got back out on the pond, things have become more normal, maybe even a little slower. Which is nice. 14 days on the water, nice low-drama crew, it's all good. I hope to make more videos and expand this playlist of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvNYr9sRV-LIU5E_3i3fADqPykvwEtDlH" target="_blank">Dubes Pond Videos for 2015</a>.

It was a balmy 45 degrees on Christmas day. But after just a few cold nights in the teens and I wake up this morning, the last day of 2014, to see a thin, dark glaze on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massabesic_Lake" target="_blank">Lake Massabesic</a>.

"What's up with that?", I ask myself. Lot of goings on this past summer and fall. Not all great. But life is amazing and I find time to go clickity-click here this evening, which is a blessing. Listening to <a href="http://www.mmw.net/" target="_blank">MMW w/ John Scofield</a> "Juice", check it out, great stuff. Didn't go to a single jammy event this summer. That sucks. Watched on Facebook as my pal Ben traveled from SPAC to Vegas to see Phish. Jealous. I guess, I could have found a way, but was so into my work I wonder if I could have really done it. Work isn't an excuse; it's a passion. A choice. I really want to make a difference. I have another few decades to knock it out of the park; a marathon, not a sprint. If Chris were alive, he would provide balance (through peer pressure). If Dave were alive, he would provide balance (through wisdom of counsel). Now the baton is in my hand.<br />

Steve, the dear friend that he is, spent 90 minutes on the phone talking me through the twisty bits. While Gabriel and Kajia appear to have been snubbed thirty years ago, their work stunningly rejected then as "a homework problem", it remains an inspiration to me today. I am sofa king blessed to have such a great mentor and friend.
Steve's homework problem for me?... A reminder and gentle introduction to variational calculus through the Feynman lecture "<a href="http://liberzon.csl.illinois.edu/teaching/FeynmanLecturesOnPhysicsChapter2-19.pdf" target="_blank">The Principle of Least Action</a>". What a great read!sshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03856680952462186115noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11477002.post-53712483148012410902014-03-23T10:17:00.000-04:002014-03-23T10:21:19.543-04:00Hard MarchMarch began this year for me on the red eye back from San
Francisco. Landing in the icy dawn at Logan seemed appropriate, matching my
mood at the moment. The brisk air and the cutting late-winter angle of the sun combined
to cast the morning like a post-psychedelic epilogue. An uncomfortable and stark
reality. Only this was just natural and organic, as viewed by this observer, this
time around the sun.<br />
<br />
I think whenever there is a step-function disconnect in our
perception of what is true, it is healthy to see our system respond
accordingly. We put a great deal of stock in our ability to understand and
feel. So when our neural simulator comes up with one answer and reality is
another, we’ve got some reprogramming to do. A little adjustment is OK, but if
too much is disconnected at once, we cry, we feel sick, or even pass out. That
may not be the best evolutionary response. But perhaps it speaks to how closely
wired the anterior insular cortex, our empathy-enabling simulator, is wired
into the rest of our brains.<br />
<br />
Like the tail of an exponential, it faded. The month has
mostly passed. The weather in New England staying unusually chilly, like the
morning that started this month. But the outlook is optimistic. We’ve got better
data. That sparse set of coefficients that we use for predicting the future has
a few more non-zero terms. And it’s almost April.

Nobody I know was kinder and more selfless. Randy passed away ten years ago, although I’m still in denial. When I stop for a moment and consider my life experiences and keep cycling back through the graph in time and space we call history, Randy is singular. We acknowledge that with time our memory fades and facts can become distorted. But when I think about Randy, my mind consistently serves up surprising forgotten circumstance with a newfound strong inner-bliss radiating outward. I’m certain he had his demons, but you wouldn’t know it at a glance. Interacting with him, Randy would place your concerns, your goals, front and center. Then he would do his best to understand them, help you talk about them, laugh at them, (rarely) cry over them and generally make the absolute best out of this experience we call life. It’s just wrong that he isn’t here with us now. I have no words to describe the immense thankfulness I have for my family and friends. And I’m not one to get hung up on regret. But there is no way that this world would not be a far better place for hundreds or thousands of souls if Randy were still with us today. He isn’t: so we have our memories. That’s
how I remember Randy.

Susan wasn't feeling well, so we tried to create the <a href="http://www.cottonfood.com/" target="_blank">Cotton</a> dining experience here at home; with Steak, Wedge, and Garlic Mashed Potatoes. A snow squall came up dropping the first, fractional-inch of powder of the year and making it all the more cozy.

Most years, we have a wet spring, but then the dam goes quiet for much of the summer. This year, a bit wetter than most, I can barely recall a day when I didn't have to raise my voice on the dock to be heard over the rushing water. No injuries, good times, and good friends. While this season wins no record in skier-hours or buoy count, I'll take it and smile.

Just a month ago I was carving slow-motion tele-arc turns down Plunge and other lift-9 trails. Now the snow has melted, the ice is out, and it will be just weeks before we are back in the pond and on the slalom course. In the meantime life, work, and soul-searching to find reason in last-week's events. I have a dozen things I'd like to get done today: I'd prefer to do just a few of them well.

Day four was swimming in sunshine and smiles. But it's over. I should be happy. But not so much. It's like when camp is over and everyone has to go home. Emily turned me on to the music of <a href="http://www.devendrabanhart.com/" target="_blank">Devendra Banhart</a> last night, I bought "Mala" on Itunes; and played that album all day today. Amazing, best new music I've heard in years. Last run of the day, of the trip...

Then drinks at Cosmo, dinner at La Marmotte, and still more kind talk until I hit the wall at an embarrassingly early hour which I can only attribute to my lack of stamina at such things, at altitude.sshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03856680952462186115noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11477002.post-52195452584912236882013-03-24T18:57:00.000-04:002013-03-24T18:57:06.293-04:00KTEX 2013, Day 2It was a cold and snowy day. I set out early by myself, in search of lift 9 solitude. I ended up helping a woman down the mountain who was having an anxiety attack. Came back up and ran my line of lines on Plunge, in a blissful, near white-out.

Amazing how crisp they still are. Much more modern T2 plastic has a lot to do with it. Anyhow, no surprise what I did... up 9, a few warmups on Lookout, and on to my favorite line on the mountain, the steeper bit of skier's right down Plunge.

Chris always used to say "The Après Skiing is just as important as the Skiing". And he was right. Met up with my Manch-Vegas peeps Holly, Emily and Mike, and had a fun dinner at Hongas...

Steve picks me up at the airport and before you know it we are sipping gin and tonics at the base of chair 8. A mellow evening in town to get ready for the days ahead.

Excited. Eager. Challenged. Thankful. Wiser. Enthusiastic. Relentless. Mindful. Yet still expecting many of the happy (and not so happy) mistakes of years gone by. To all, a Kind and Happy New Year.
