The Ski Bum As Zen Master

This is the interactive part of the magazine, so you’ll need two common items easily found in the typical American home: a pair of scissors and your wallet.

Got ’em? OK, now I want you to take all the credit cards out of your wallet and cut them into tiny pieces. Don’t balk now, this is important.

Now I want you to call your boss and tell him you quit. Then call your landlord and give 30 days notice, or put your condo up for sale. Finally, trade in that nice new Saab for a beat-up 4WD pickup.
