I have a big list of ideas I’d love to do one day. My “someday” list is long and getting longer. But finding the balance between work and family and fun is a weekly challenge. I’d love to do more — but what am I going to subtract in order to make it work?
What I have to remind myself as I get older is that while I like a challenge — and love the feeling when I’ve climbed that mountain and get to look back on all the great work I’ve done — I don’t have to go all in every time I get a good idea. I have time for some things but not all things.
Sometimes, you look at that next climb and have to say: Not today. Maybe another time.
There will be always be other mountains.

I took that photo the other day in Park City of PC Hill. Look carefully and you can see the white letters PC at the top, covered partially in snow.
