Mountain Climbing

While waiting to catch my plane out of Denver today I was reading a great story about Alison Levine. Alison climbed her first mountain after having two heart surgeries by age 30.

What does mountain climbing have to do with the PISD bond issue?

Trim down. Think about what's essential.

"You learn to get rid of things you don't really need," Levin said. "You figure out how to get by with what you have in order to climb to the top."

Perhaps the PISD backpack is a little heavy on overhead items and somethings need to be discarded from the backpack in order to make it to the top. It is the belief of many that adding additional baggage like debt to the tax payer, and an additional brand new high school will not help PISD achieve its true goal of reaching the top of educating our children.

In to the wild blue yonder............................................
