A very chilly morning – single digits – however as you can see the students are all geared up for winter fun. Today we have several hiking trips going out, a sledding trip, another group is hiking up Whiteface to ski (or snowboard) down, and finally, an ice climbing trip. As I chatted with the excited students getting ready to head out into the fresh mountain air, I couldn’t help but think of the contrast with most of their peers across the country ... many of whom are parked in front of a TV for a good portion of Saturday morning.

PS ... I have enclosed a link to an interesting study just published in the journal “Social Indicators Research.” The researchers goal was to analyze 30 years of data to identify behavioral factors that correlate with personal happiness.
