A Danish Idea

Ok...so one more short entry about my host brother. Watching someone view your world as a foreigner is quite entertaining. There is the joy in trying to translate what something is, and then realizing that you yourself can hardly explain it. Perhaps this is similar to parenthood. Then there is their excitement at all the "cool" aspects of your environment you consider dully mundane...enter Seattle monorail. I mean hasn't he seen the Simpsons--it is just a magnetic train. Fine, fine, to be fair the view is pretty spectacular. With all this exploration and stimulation come good ideas. And sometimes come great ideas. Well, Mikkel had one. His younger brother does some trick skiing. He is pretty good; I saw a clip of him landing a 900. Mikkel suggested that someone should create a video of skiers hitting the rails below Kerry Park after one of those rare snow falls. How awesome would that be, watching someone tearing up the rails with the Seattle skyline in the background...urban skiing. Again another linked title.
