Nov 23:

A short work week - Thursday Thanksgiving Holiday followed by 'Black Friday'. I'm on my own again this year... the boys are with their mom's family in Utah.

Watched a documentary on the 1996 Mount Everest tragedy - Scott Fisher's team members were mostly from Seattle, so it was heavily covered in the local press, and again 10 years later. This film was from PBS/Frontline by the director of the IMAX film made in the days before and after the storm that year. I've never climbed above 12,000 feet, but all that climbing / heavy-breathing makes me long to summit Mount Rainer. Just remember to keep those fingers & toes warm.

Why do we work at jobs doing things we wouldn't do if people didn't pay us? If the things we really loved - like making movies, etc - paid as well, we'd do THOSE things full-time. I guess this also answers the question "Why do employers have to PAY people?"
