Heading to Italy

[Ron]

Too funny! You ski just fine. We were trying not to laugh out loud, this was in the colliseum, so were thinkg even the lions would be afraid......  My pants look much like that!  Just baggier.  Yikes, I think  Gary would look smashing in that orange sweater....

[midwif]

wow, I like those pants.  That color in a ski pant with my Supershape Magnums and a white jacket.  Feeling like Ron I am.
Now if only I could ski as well as Ron, or Gary, or Brad, or Lynn, or Ed, or Michael.

Hmmmm.  Could we get some more intermediate level skiers to come next year???

Jim, my fashion advice to you about those pants is: DON'T

And please, enough with the modesty!! You know you ski better on the groomed than me. As far as the trees, I have more experience avoiding the roots than you. You get yourself some time in there, embrace the tree experience, so to speak (but don't eat wood) and you will be Cat skiing with Ron and Gary. Oops, forget I said that.     Cat skiing with Ed and Michael.

.? Yikes, I think? Gary would look smashing in that orange sweater....

Is the band "Smashing Pumpkins" Gary's favorite??? ?

[Ron]

Hey Missy, I'm still in the trees, no worries, I love them! Now Gary is a little weary of the bark....  I think he made a recovery in soe open glades in Whistler though. had he just skied with some wider boards........  Woulda coulda shoulda.....

Jim, very suprised to hear you know about Billy corrigan and the band. Good job.

Can't wait to show you guys the Shamans..... I had a killer dream I was skiing the trees and rocks Saturday night. I woke up with that feeling I had been skiing.  I had to watch some good ski-****

[Gary]

No Jim...not Smashing Pumpkins.......Smas hing Aspens!!!!! I mean like dah.....a ?

Ok...I must respectfully disagree with my honored colleague, Lynn. ?

I think the green pants with a brown or black jacket would be stunning. All the fish in the frozen ponds you ski by would float to the surface....nah...

Seriously, the green would be young, fresh, titillating,....all things you Jim! ?

Go for it.

As for the orange sweater....I have one...of course! ?

[Ron]

Gary, you are done with Aspen bark and have now beaten the bastards! 

Lynn/ Gary. did I miss something about fish in the pond?  I like color combo though

Gary and I agree on the Kjus for sure. You should go for it. It's reallly a great technical jacket.

[Gary]

Yes beaten them those pesky Aspens...curse lifted....do like the softness of those evergreens though.

Fish in the pond..."stunning"....it was a metaphor Sir Ron!

Now as for Kjus....darn right a beautiful thing to behold.

[Ron]

can you explain the mataphor of fish in a pond and stunning? you lost me.... I realize my brain is still full of vino.....

[Gary]

Yes...pond fishing with a device that sends an electric charge into the water where the fish then float to the surface and one just has to net in the booty....

Yes....I say...Jim's new colors may just have the same affect...now quick...find us a salmon farm near a run at Steamboat!

[jim-ratliff]

Of course, a hand grenade has the same effect.  Different metaphor, perhaps. 

[Ron]

Did you buy the jacket?  No?  Go buy that jacket!!!
