Mobbin' With The Old Guy


How crazy do ya have to be to carry beers stuffed in your pockets riding up the Gondola in Vail, Colorado? NOT as crazy as you have to be to drink them while you're snowboarding down.

I literally closed my eyes and thanked the Almighty when I hooked up with these young snowboarders in the Gondola on the final day of the ski season in Vail. I was just that tired of going down the mountain by myself, and these dudes were super-friendly.

"We're mobbin' with the old guy," they shouted. 'Mobbin'. Very cool new word.

Mobbin' - verb -to join together in a friendly fashion. as in I'm mobbin' with Anita Brikman.

Only problem was all the good feelings in the world couldn't get me down the mountain anywhere near as fast as these 20-somethings, even though they were drinking beers on the way down.

Oh well. I did get lots of crazy pics of the final day of ski season on Vail Mountain. Who knew?
Are we just a tad over dressed??

For a minute I thought this was a banana costume. Now I'm not so sure. What do you think?

It wasn't really that warm. Trust me.


And What the Heck Was That?!

Oh to be young and "immortal" again!

We do a lot of stupid things when we are young, and "if you survive" the memories are all worth it!

I had to laugh at the "comical cow" utter costume. I think it was meant for a female though, but the impact of it on a male was brilliant to say the least!
