Dear Interweb,

In high school I had a sense of dread about the question, “What are you going to do with your life?” Quietly, I knew that Plan A was to be a high performance/professional skier. But I knew I needed Plan B and an answer that would stop the questioning. I can’t remember how it started but my response towards the end was, “I want to be an astronaut”. I loved the look on people’s faces as I said it. After all, it is generally the answer one expects from a 10 year old boy. However, it quickly became a serious response as it suited my academic strengths plus my enjoyment of intense physical challenges. So, I researched the requirements and discovered that 20/20 eyesight is required, which I don’t have. The real blow was that the laser surgery effects on the eyes aren’t compatible with space travel. I think I would still like to be astronaut for my next career so I’ll just keep skiing and going to school, collecting a few PhDs and wait out the technology. Ha!

But in the meantime… I was thrilled that I got to be in space, at least virtually, for this Electric ad! Check it out in the inside back cover of the latest Freeskier Magazine.

And also check out fellow Albertan Mike Henitiuck on the cover! Yea!

Sincerely,
