I think many people wish they'd written stuff down, collated thoughts into a book...I was fortunate enough to have done so and the notebook has become something special.
I'm glad you read this post and that it made you think a little; maybe you'll gather those notes and scribble and pull them into a semblance of order. It's never too late to start you know.
I didn't know you were American...or a ski bunny.
American? Based on my accent many Americans assume I'm Australian. But no. SA born and bred. Just widely travelled. On skiis and otherwise
Most think I'm from another planet. They might be right.
