It was the winter of 2020; I was on a road trip with a good friend, Greg Resnick, driving across several states in the US in search of the ultimate ski conditions. A 6-week ski road trip with nothing to worry about except for which town to visit and which ski resort to enjoy. One day we were driving in congested traffic, and I could feel my blood pressure begin to rise. Too many cars and bad drivers were delaying the start of a perfect powder day at Alta. I started to get impatient and make loud and inappropriate remarks at the drivers who were slowing us down. Greg then said something that has stuck with me ever since. “Relax and slow down, my friend. We will get there 10 minutes later than expected, and that is okay. Trying to get those 10 minutes back is not worth the risk.”
