Back in Colorado for the annual father-son ski trip. A week in Snowmass with more snow than Wood Creek Tavern has ever seen.

My dad and I went over to Vail today to ski with a friend from high school (Webster Groves). We skied 18 runs today, including some deep powder, some steeps, and some bumps.

My father is 75 years old.

That is the most heartening story I've read on here today. Huzzah for HJ's dad!

I've only gone skiing once, for two days 15 years ago, and I miss it. Every time I see somebody doing it on TV, I feel sad and jealous.

Seems like every from of exercise I like requires either money or living in the mountains. Skiing, whitewater rafting, kayaking...

I love it. That's gonna be me at 75.

BTW, are you James or Jason?

No. You would not guess my first name in a million tries. It's Hungarian, though I was born in the exotic place known as Missouri.

Hungary, congrats on your father being so outgoing and athletic.

I can't even get my parents to leave St. Louis--they decided long ago that they were old.

Though my dad can wield a mean remote control.

Yes I would. It's Rumpelstiltskin.

Actually, my guessing won't be too difficult because there were only so many at WGHS in my sister's class that had a bro in mine.

Sounds like we may know eachother. So I graduated with your sister, and you with my brother.

I'll give some hints:
I played ice hockey.
I drank a lot of beer.
My brother (middle one) has Swedish name

The last one is probably the clincher. PM me if you can. I'd rather not divulge my identity here. I don't need any more bomb threats from Cpebbles.

Didnt you or one of your bro's run a mag in Nashville for a time? Seems I ran across that a couple years ago. Anyway, good to hear from you.
