Firstly, we didn't get to ski as much as we expected and wanted due to bad weather. First 2 days were amazing, but then it fogged up and stayed that way for 4 days. The first two of these we skied, but it wasn't really enjoyable (you have no idea where you are and where the slope is.....). The following 2 days, the resort was closed because of bad conditions (now accompanied by avalanche danger, since it had snowed heavily). The last day of or stay, the sky cleared up but it was rather windy. And an avalanche fell on the slope.
But my brother has come up with some exiting scientific ideas. Although my personal inclination goes the other way, I have to admit that avalanche power plant is a much better idea than, say, a fish night light (shh, a million $ idea).
When he shared his idea with us (sitting on a chairlift), he looked like he was expecting a delegation from Sweden announcing his Nobel Price nomination to be waiting for him up the hill. He also absolutely ignored our lack of faith in his project and turned down every objection we made (sample dialogue: "you're gonna built a super expensive power plant and hope that an avalanche will come exactly where you built it" - "I'll make it moveable").
I have also collected some data that contribute to my 'never get married' theory. I shared a king-size bed with my mother and that is as close to marriage as I shall ever get. The selfish need for OWN BLANKET outweighs everything.
me, the trip-to-Sweden expectant and beautiful mountains
