Well we got some of that here in Aspen.
I thought it was pretty exceptional that my daughter had a soccer practice on Friday, drove to Denver for a hockey practice on Saturday, and on Sunday had her birthday party on Aspen mountain at a cabin we rented (ie lots of skiing and stupid shenanigans). Taking a small detour to shenanigan land the kids boot skied all of Aspen mountain (that is skiing without skis--just in boots for those of ya not down with the lingo). Anyhow ski patrol was kind enough to inform us that skiing seems to require skis these days.
anyhow back to the matter at hand
so I was telling a friend about my daughter's soccer, hockey, ski weekend triathlon and they looked at me in all seriousness and asked "what no lacrosse?".
Yup there is always someone doing more, being better etc. Or as the old line goes " there is always someone thinner or richer" (or both) and they probably have a house in Aspen.
Which brings me to a quiz---what should Aspen's motto be
1. Exclusive by design
2. 3 houses or 3 jobs
3. Anything worth doing is worth doing to excess
4. Home of parents who never ever stopped partying (and hope to be in Scarface 2)
Tapping into my calm yoga place happiness comes from the inside, not judging yourself against others, so maybe shut off your Strava and just ride your bike. And, or next time you run into Mr. 1 uper please (its almost always a him with a small unit I'd bet) have fun jerking his chain by 1 uping his fablous adventure.
