Godin said that he would have liked to novelize the game "Myst", a personal computer game, into a book. He said that "I think that stories never go out of style.

I recently got a Husky as a pet but don't know much about them.
That is so exciting. Is this a siberian husky? They are from Russia I hear.
The owner just said the dog was a husky. I didn't realize there are different ones.
I had no idea until just recently. I guess another type of husky would be a labrador husky. It is the type that Inuit People used.
How interesting. I didn't realize they were related to the Indians.
Yeah! The Inuit people typically had a pretty extreme lifestyle. I am guessing that the huskys really helped with survival and winter blues.

I often go downhill skiing (aka alpine skiing) in Colorado. In fact I just got new skis and bindings.
Wow that sounds exciting, I've never done skiing before. Is the equipment expensive?
Alpine skiing equipment is a little expensive but the bigger cost is lift tickets. Because alpine skis don't have free-heel bindings like cross-country skis, you can't easily move uphill with them and a chairlift is necessary.
Oh I wouldn't like sitting on those chair lifts, I don't do well with heights. Is the goal of alpine skiing basically to just get to the bottom as fast as possible?
Some skiers do that. They follow the fall line of the mountain to attain the maximum possible speed. However, you have to stay in control. Personally, I like to perfect my form.
