How’s this for a yearbook quote?
And here I always thought the purpose of journalists is to report the things that are actually true. You have to admit… there’s good reason that most Americans don’t trust the media any more.

Eagle Lake
The impact of the Waldo Canyon fire in Colorado on Eagle Lake camp. My old boss, Jack McQueeny, narrates the story of what happened to the camp. I’m surprised how affected by this video. Eagle Lake had a large part of forming who I am today.

“A fundamental principle in politics is that a small number of people willing to push their agenda will always dominate a large number of people who just want to live in peace and mind their own business.”

“Too many people think speed is the hallmark of a good musician. It’s understandable. But how quickly you can finger notes is the smallest part of music. The real key is timing.
It’s like telling a joke. Anyone can remember the words. Anyone can repeat it. But making someone laugh requires more than that. Telling a joke faster doesn’t make it funnier. As with many things, hesitation is better than hurry.
This is why there are so few true musicians. A lot of folks can sing or saw out a tune on a fiddle. A music box can play a song flawlessly, again and again. But knowing the notes isn’t enough. You have to know how to play them. Speed comes with time and practice, but timing you are born with. You have it or you don’t.”
Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man’s Fear, p 53
