“Project Logic”
Projects for Life
As the world shut down due to Covid-19, I took advantage of the extra time to plan for the future. Some of the most enjoyable periods of my life have been when I was working on completing some sort of plan. I’d sometimes joke that it was a useless endeavor towards an insignificant goal. The truth was, it was less about the goal and all about the process.
Once, I spent 54 straight months skiing in Colorado with a great friend. We skied snowfields of knee-deep sun cups, toiled up rocky slopes to find a small patch of September snow, and attempted to explain where we were going to bewildered lowland tourists as we strapped skis to our backs for a long hike out on Independence Pass on hot August days. Sometimes we were treated to excellent conditions and proceeded to do laps. We celebrated each day, regardless of the snow conditions, as if there were no place we’d rather be. The truth is, there wasn’t.
