You have that "old school" skier look.

My wife says I haven't bought any new clothes since the Carter
administration (that is certainly true of winter clothes) but Nixon
was still in the White House the last time I was on skis.
I was surprised how quickly it comes back. I was ready for anything
Pennsylvania could throw at me by the end of the first day. I would
still be on the green slopes out west tho. Those boys are crazy.

I'm quite proud of the fact that I've never, ever been on snow skies.

Looks way to dangerous to me.


Gotta give him credit. As a kid I used to do a lot of waterskiing. We'd
beg, do chores, do anything to earn money for gas for the boat, then spend
all day on the water skiing, including doing jumps, trick ski's, whatever.

About 25 years later I had the opportunity to ski again for the first time
since I skied as a kid and decided I'd show my "stuff". Made it around the
small lake once and my legs were trembling so bad I had to sit down.
