Mind wandering on the ski lift

I skied alone for most of the day today. That was fine. You can't really ski with someone, that would be dangerous. Skiing with someone mostly entails sitting on the lift talking abut the last run and where you want to go next.

But today I mostly rode the lift alone. It occurred to me on one of those rides that almost 20% of my students this year are named Sarah and another 15% are named Daniel. Amazingly enough, they're not that hard to tell apart.
