Once when I was six I found myself suspended in air so cold my breaths felt like they were slowly and methodically killing me for sport. I was sandwiched between my two brothers and my father was on my far right. We were on a chairlift, we were in Colorado, we had driven many hours to come skiing. When we first arrived at the lodge, I got out of our rusted-red suburban and ran to the back to pull my skis out of the trunk. Our trunk had two doors that swung open individually. I remember my dad used to say they don’t make them like that anymore. You could open them in this really over-the-top dramatic way if you wanted to. Like the car was just a very deep old wooden wardrobe and my family lived inside it with books and paper maps.
