Colorado Holorado
The trip began in a frenzy.
Court in the morning, rushing all day,
I was trying to beat the clock.
Little did I know that it was out of my hands
and the clock, it almost beat me.
Sitting in a cab, checking the time,
traffic at rush hour on the BQE.
Asking the cabby what he thought, then he laughed,
should have left early.
Rush through the door bag in hand, beg the lady at the counter to let me in,
she says "no worries love, you've got plenty of time, its those folks in denver that are on their grind".
Plenty of time was right, as she said, I sat and ate food while the plane was prepared.
Passed out cold upon take off, though I still had plenty to do.
Awoke sometime later, with more work on my mind
next thing I knew we were descending right on time.
Met up with the fam, quite a feet to get together,
Tara, Alex, Nate and Sam, the Perez fam kickin it cold like the weather.
2 hour shuttle, McDonalds and some smokes, back to the grind on the ride.
Arrive at the condo, Dino in sleep duds, convo's and beer, then back to the grind.
I was up till 4am, thats 6am NYC time.
Work work work work work work work. Passed out for a couple of hours.
Jumped on the lift scared at first, thought I'd fall and hit my face,
Landed it smooth felt a surge of confidence, i was ready for the day.
At first we stayed as a group and rode, slowing and waiting for the crew
then it soon became apparent that my 7 year absence had really not affected my flow.
The next day we rode, Alex me and Gabe and shredded the whole mountain wide
Not stopping for a break, think we did Christmas in 4 minutes, holy shit did we ride.
Dinner and drinks and memories for days...these trips mean so much more
so much more than a bougie condo and a fancy ski resort,
so much more than a few days away from work and the daily,
so much more than a get together with some family members you dont always see,
truly, really, these are the moments that make us, the moments that form our foundations, mold our beliefs and experiences, create the person we are at that moment.
These are the moments that matter.
