Jack’s birthday

[SassyRat]

Some of you may follow @Jack skis, my Dad. He’s 32,507 days old today. I wonder how many of those days he’s spent skiing? Probably a lot more than may of us. This photo is from Father’s Day a couple years ago.

Awesome role model and hero for all of us younger snow riders!

Aw shucks, in my best Gary Cooper voice (if any of you remember Gary Cooper). I appreciate the kind words. All it took to get this far was to wake up every morning. Which was not always easy to do for one reason or another.

Happy birthday, Jack! I always look forward to your posts and insight into CB and skiing in general. Thanks!

Red....she looks fast.
Does she have a name?

I like to think of birthdays not as celebrating aging but more about celebrating life.

Happy life celebration!!

Happy birthday from New Zealand Jack (the person I still want to ski like). I'm still hoping to make it back to the states to ski CB with you sometime soon.

The new car doesn't have a name, perhaps in the future one will come to mind. For many years due to my problems having enough money to support myself, many of the cars I drove, or abandoned by the side of the road, all earned the same name:
Son of a Bitch!!

I appreciate your kind words, and if you make it to CB would like to make a few runs with you. However, it would probably be better for you if you wanted to ski like someone other than me. I think I've said before my skiing has always been more enthusiastic that skilled. Whatever it has been I've enjoyed it since the first time I got on a pair of skis, and hope I'll have some more days playing on the snow. Look forward to seeing you at CB.

So, its a boy.

My daily words of wisdom is quite appropriate for this thread.

You need to know that we don't stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.

Lighten up and play. Remember, it's ok to be silly, be curious, be fun.
