I had not been skiing in over 25 years, so there was some rust that needed to be knocked off for sure. If I am being honest, I was never really that good at skiing. Making it down the hill with all of my equipment was a victory. But if there was one thing I had, it was a reckless disregard for my own (or others&#8217;) safety on the slopes. Unfortunately, I have no video or even photographic evidence of our shenanigans. Last night, Number 1 sent a video of his own adventures, and I think this is very close to what I would have looked like on the hill back in the day. I think he was only mildly concussed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">As a reminder, Lunch Box Quotes are notes I include in the kids\u2019 lunches every day. Number 1 gets a text, but 2-4 get handwritten napkins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Visual credits to: Featured image \u2013 The Sister-in-Law&nbsp; Quotes: @TheMonologist @CowboyGospeler @gibransghost @arealmofwonder @realAtlasPress<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Number 1 on the Slopes\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PifZr7QZ6Vw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Quotes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">1. <em>\u201cI don\u2019t think being good at things is the point of doing them.
