Hmm......Jim....not hing that lights up....for those of you who don't know Ed....Jim is being facetious.

Something having to do with skiing....a 6 pack of his favorite western beer?

Yes, I was being more than facetious.? ?;D ;D? When I first met Ed last year, I commented that I had heard from Ron and Gary and Lynn that he was pretty taciturn.? His response was, "Yeah, I try to handle all emails with one word or less."? Just **** me up, especially the emphasis on "or less".

Hence the feeling that a "talks too much" book would be an excellent joke gift.

Oh, there's a new Ed coming out to the boat this winter! He's a madman I tell you! new jacket, pants, goggles.  He went from 72mm skis to his mythic Riders at 89mm and he loves off-piste now.

Yes, we have corrupted all that was normal about Ed...he was bitten hard by the "need new ski gear" bug. AND YES>>....he NEEDED new gear! Ron failed to mention he got new boots too...

Yes he got a ,
 wait for it....wait for it....patient, wait for it...."AN EXTREME AND MERCIFUL MAKEOVER"!

What's interesting is although he doesn't talk a lot, when he does, it's well thought out and concise.

EX:
Which run ya wanna do..."don't care" what ya feel like for dinner, ya get a shoulder shrug, are ya pumped up, rearing to go, there's 6 inches of freshies on the ground, let's go tear it up..."yup".

A man of action and few words.....just like us!? ::)

How could I forget those boots?  Not only are they new but they're Dalbellos to boot (pun included) he's a BC junkie now....

Remember, we kid cause we love!  Ed is a true pleasure to ski and hang with. A good guy.
