"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
I remember being ticked off at David Spade after a "Spade in America" skit where he criticized her for going from "Linger" to "Zombie," like the change in style was unwelcome.

Love me some Cranberries. I'm still jealous of whomever that was that saw them in Dublin.
"I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"
The taxi driver in Zarcero, Costa Rica who we had take us everywhere for a couple of months had an MP3 playlist, and every single time we got in his taxi, "Zombie" would play, and he would sing along, having no friggin' clue what he was singing.

Spade can ESAD if he criticized them. There are a couple bands that define my teenage years. The Cranberries are one of them as they became big when I was in high school. No Need to Argue is a fabulous album from start to finish and even my kids will sing along to Zombie when I play it on my guitar.

My trainer in the mission was a big Cranberries fan. He would periodically knock doors to the rythym of Zombie.

My senior seminar paper was inspired by a line in Zombie.

I may be small, but I'm slow.
A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."
I was a recent convert to her work. I really liked the Earthsea series. I still have a couple of her books I want to read.
Warren Miller, aged 93. I didn't realize he was that old.
Fresh tracks for eternity! I guess HF needed a skiing buddy.

That's what happens when RMN is now occupied with other commitments.
Ah, that explains the timing.
Wow. Neither did I. I guess this means I can take "Warren Miller's Age" out of the set of things I don't know, even though "Who the hell Warren Miller is" remains.

I actually thought he was already dead.
PLesa excuse the tpyos.
And in the SE.
Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Is this guy a household name? I'm not understanding the disbelief.

He was skiing. He made every year a film the extolled the joys of skiing boundlessly. During my youth, my father would take me to the newest Warren Miller film to get us hyped up for ski season. I didn't need any encouragement but he was amazing, simply amazing. You are truly young my friend and missed out on the best part of the beginning of winter.

If you love to ski, you'd love, absolutely love these movies.

"Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.
I remember watching at least one, possibly two, Warren Miller movies at the MC with a few thousand people. Great memory.

I had the pleasure of meeting him once, after he narrated one of his films in the seventies.
The following sums up what he brought to us ski bums.
In a 2008 speech, Mr. Miller summed up with uncharacteristic seriousness what had led him — as well as ski bums and heads of state and corporations — to head for the mountains.
“It’s our search for freedom, ” he said. “It’s what it’s all about — man’s instinctive search for freedom.”

Yout knew winter was on its way when the leaves turned and Warren Miller put out another movie.
PLesa excuse the tpyos.
My 16 year old son wore his Warren Miller promo cap today in remembrance. If his generation knows about Miller, I can't believe people from mine haven't heard of him.
Yeah, I don’t ski.

I grew up in Utah and I enjoy skiing. I managed to avoid every single Warren Miller movie, which takes more effort than you would believe. I totally judge you guys who get a boner for them.

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock
I enjoy skiing (now snowboarding). I knew who WM was. Never saw one of his movies. Had no idea he was in his 90s.
Miller movies pushed skiing to the limits... and inspired stupid people like me to do stupid things like I did.
... and when you glide off a 15 foot cliff and land in powder so soft you can't tell you've landed... you thank Miller for allowing yourself to try something that appeared stupid, but ended up as a 10 ten sensation of your life.
