Conversations from a Chairlift

Conversations from a Chairlift” — the title of the book I never wrote.

The concept was simple — short stories about the short stories told while on a chairlift.

The stories these days are much different than when the book idea was born. It would have been fun to compare and contrast the stories as the years unfolded.

The discipline to write consistently is one that I’ve just not been able to master. As a result, I can’t read the words I would have written 30 years ago and compare them to today. I wish I could.

I love riding the chairlift with my girls. I love taking them around the resort and sharing stories, the ones that are acceptable to share that is. I love that we have these moments together - on a chairlift, in a car on the way to practice, a road trip to Ann Arbor or a boat ride to Mackinac Island.

Time flies. Time is flying. Time has flown.

A conversation from a chairlift is a magical moment in time — as long as you are able to recognize and enjoy it, before it flies by.
