no name - no face?

Would you remember my name or my face? Do you connect a name to a face, or is it the other way around? Maybe the name makes you think of someone's essence.
So what do you think of first: Name, Face, or Essence?

I would like to think that the essence comes first, but that might be because I nowadays often forget people's names and I rarely remember their faces. So when I think f someone, it's their essence I have in mind. This if it is someone I know.

When you meet someone for the first time what is it you notice first of all:
Name, Face, or Essence?
I guess that the essence is hard to notice when you haven't yet gotten to know someone, so then it has to be the face, because you always see someone before you start talking to them.

So the face comes first, but is the face what makes you remember them?

Back to the home country

So I am back in the snow for a few months. At last. Since I missed out on the winter and Christmas + New Year 2006 it feels really nice to get the same old that I had as a child.

Started with snowboarding... so at least I have learnt how to turn both ways and to use the button lift. At least something, but I might need to get a backside-protection.

Today I made the first cross country tracks of the year!!!! And hoping for another go tomorrow. It has been snowing for some time, so it should only get better.

Staying until the beginning of April and then...
