By Archie Bunker abunker@vaildaily.com Awright, lemme tell ya somethin’ about this so-called “spring skiing” in Colorada. First off, I don’t know who the hell decided that slush and sunshine make for a good time on a mountain, but apparently, all the meatheads out here think wearin’ tutus and Hawaiian shirts while slidin’ down a hill is some kinda cultural experience. Ain’t that a kick? Now wait just a minute, I ain’t sayin’ the whole thing’s bunkerbunk — the good old days had their fair share of spring slope shenanigans, too.

I’m thrilled to announce that this month, I’m celebrating my seventy-fifth birthday! Now, I know what some of you are thinking: “Big deal. I’ve got socks older than that!” But for me, it’s still a milestone. I was born on June 24, 1949, the same day that Hopalong Cassidy rode into our living room for the first time inside a 12-inch Philco television—black and white, of course.
