Telluride, February 22, 2024—Surprising my wife yesterday for her birthday who was on a ski trip with our nephew, I chose to use the remaining day of the journey to do a snowmobile tour, while they took to the slopes. It has been 30 years since I snowmobiled, during a VH1 Celebrity ski event in Crested Butte. I was looking forward to it and remember I was pretty good at it.

I refer you to the joke about the old bull and the young bull standing on a hill above the pasture. The young bull says, “Let’s run down the hill and f**k one of those cows!” The old bull says, “Let’s WALK down the hill and f**k them all.”
I completely identify with your feelings on risk taking & pushing the envelope now that I’m in my 70s. My body is perfectly content taking the “easy” road although my mind is still not ready to admit that my age is an issue. Thank you as always for so eloquently speaking your truths .
