breton: french guy i shared a lift with at snowbird, his sister lives in cambridge, mass and he comes to snowbird all the time because he thinks its better than skiing in france. ok then. he made me speak the little french i know which he thought was "so cute".
harry and desi: two 5 year old boys i took the lift with today, because their ski instructor asked me to accompany them. they both had french fries for lunch, but poor little desi didnt have time to eat his string cheese OR the last 4 fries because lunch was over. its a sad world for little desi. harry kept to himself but i had to keep reminding them to "scoot back!" so their tiny bodies didn't slip under the bar and splat onto the slopes. they were VERY excited that we would be taking the same run together.
three (correction: katie informed me that early 30's is not considered middle aged) men at lunch: katie and i ate lunch with three sexist republicans from florida. long and the short of it, their advice to me: "you have to make a choice. being a woman, you have to choose either a career or having kids, because you cannot be great at both." they also didnt understand why katie would be interested in non-profit work, and actually im not sure two of them knew what that was exactly. this was a 30 minute lunch mind you, and it didnt stop there. katie and i left shocked and confused and sad for the world they live in (mostly for their wives and girlfriends).
i told them i was going to be a great doctor and a great mother.

don't you have a mother who's a doctor and and a doctor who's a mother?
I gotta admit, I partly read piles of fruits for the not-so-anonymous-anonymous comments
