As the Olympics capture our attention - justifiably with the amazing skill and technical levels - it is important to remember Hemingway's quote:
THERE ARE ONLY THREE REAL SPORTS: BULL-FIGHTING, CAR RACING, AND MOUNTAIN CLIMBING. ALL THE OTHERS ARE MERE GAMES.
I am up at 3:45 AM tomorrow, for an alpine day trip to Boston, New hampshire, and back to the Adirondacks. As I drift off to sleep my mind is wandering to the West face of Leaning Tower.
