This Is Some Story. Compelling and Rich.


I believe it was Socrates who said, "With great power comes great responsibility." Or maybe it was Spider-Man. I always get those two guys confused.

Either way, I can safely say my wife would have made both gentlemen proud. A quick story:

I'm over at the gym today, soaking in the hot tub, looking out over the snow capped mountains and enjoying a light snack of giant prawns. Being the affable fellow that I am, I started making small talk with the lifeguard. After discovering my wife was a kindergarden teacher at Aspen Elementary, the conversation went like this:

Lady: Did you move here from the Pennsylvania?
Me: We did.
Lady: Was your wife a special-ed teacher back at her old job?
Me: She was.
Lady: Well let me tell you, your wife has made quite a name for herself here in town. I've been here 30 years, and I know a lot of parents of kids that age, and I've never seen them so excited about a new teacher. Everyone says she's incredible at what she does.

That's my girl.
