“In skiing, it’s the same. In fact, most days, my start-up sequence includes a conscious awakening of the feet. Before I start sliding, I center myself. Then as I take off (after re-centering myself), I put my mind into my feet to find out (without verbal language) just what they are learning – through the boots and skis – about the snow that day (or about the condition of my skis). These first few moments of foot feel are the wake up call for the whole run.”
― Weems Westfeldt, Brilliant Skiing Every Day

“The whole model’s a joke. Billable hours—solving problems or taking a piss, someone’s still paying.”
― Greg Holman, The Billy Houston Saga: The Complete Series: Books 1–4
