Postcard from Park City, Utah
Conor does a bungee-assisted double back flip
Early on in the cascade of days making up this mountain holiday, amid the bungee-assisted trampoline bounce, the 3300 long (550 vertical drop) alpine slide, rock climbing, hiking, swimming, mountain biking, fly fishing and horseback riding, someone in our group suggested we break for lunch in town.
Ahh, man! Conor could not contain his disappointment.
We told him we understood the need for immediate gratification when you are eleven years old, but there would be plenty of time to do everything.
Its not immediate gratification, Conor corrected us rather sharply. Its just that I want to do more fun stuff right now.
Perhaps there is a distinction worth considering there, but not on an empty stomach. You need food (and perhaps beer) for thought. On this particular day, lunch won out.
