Underground Al

Something SpeciAL

So here’s the skinny…well not too skinny to be honest. I guess the logicAL place to start is the beginning, well maybe not the very beginning, how about more towards the middle. I first came to Big WHite skiing sometime in the 80’s but really fell in love during my first season here in 1991. My dream was simple— learn to snowboard and continue my career as a bartender (The movie “Cocktail” was my inspiration at that point in my life). So? Where was I? I’ll probably get off-track a lot during these ramblings but there is no rules so in reALity I don’t think it’ll matter.

About me- I’ve been up here for sometime now, don’t plan on moving anywhere and I love this Community. I’m 38, a bit of a skier, telemarker and snowboarder, I love to laugh and I’ve been spotted in the odd pub. My goal is quite simple during this blog, my aim is to entertain…if you’re looking to get smarter, then I suggest moving on right now. In fact, I’ll even wait for 5 seconds just to make sure. One, Two, Three, Four, Five. Wow, I’m glad that that person left.

I encourage feedback so let me know what you’re thinking. I intend on having no format, no consistency and sometimes, even No Clue. I’d like to share an incredible quote that was on the cover of a book given to me years ago by an incredible person and this is really the basis of my writing;

“Be in love with your life…write what you want bottomless from the bottom of the mind, remove literary, grammatical and syntactical inhibition. Write in recollection and amazement of yourself” – Jack Kerouac

And with this…it begins!
