Musings of Erin

I just ran into some of the ‘crew’ from high school - it was weird, really. Weird to see how much they’ve changed, and how much they’ve stayed the same. I guess I never thought I’d see someone who’d crashed his head into asphalt more times than I can count to grow up to be an investment banker. “I dare you” got JL to do just about anything… and still will

I’m not sure that I’d hire him to help with my finances, though. (sorry, JL)

Seeing them makes me want to go play in the snow. I’m going to plan a trip to Breckinridge or Aspen next season - it’s too late for this season. And, this time, I’m not going to sit in the condo, I’m really going to go out there and take some friggin lessons. I wish I could hire someone to be my nag - you know, come and wake me up in the morning, make me go to the lift, etc. etc. Who would want that job??

I was reading a recent article Malcolm gladwell article in The New Yorker - Troublemaker from the 2-6-06 issue. It’s really good, deals with generalizations and stereotypes. My favorite lines:

“It doesn’t work to generalize about a relationship between a category and a trait when that relationship isn’t stable—or when the act of generalizing may itself change the basis of the generalization.”
Sometimes it only takes a single sentence to throw me into a tangent… my husband has been hearing all about it tonight.
