Inspiration

My brother inspires me! I took him snowboarding this weekend for his 3rd and 4th days on the slopes. He went on his first blue and his first black on Saturday! (Greens are the easiest, then blues, then blacks, and then double blacks are the most difficult)

When he falls, it's never a weeny fall...it's always spectacular, complete with a cloud of snow! But within a second, he's on his feet and flying down the mountain again! There's never any sulking/pouting/etc from this guy!

As a side note, he mentioned that he felt old. I remarked that I did as well - "Only 3 years until I'm 30...and only 3 years until you're 20!" I'm not sure which amazes me more...it seems like just yesterday that he joined our family and now he's looking at colleges!
