don't let go

if ya went out on the east side of milwaukee in the 80's, you saw robin pleur and the R&B cadets do this old song:

Hear that whistle, it's six o'clock
(Don't let go, don't let go)
Come on baby, it's time to rock
(Don't let go, don't let go)
I'm so happy to have you here
(Don't let go, don't let go)
Keeps me grinnin' from ear to ear
(Don't let go, don't let go)

Chorus
Ooh wee
This feeling's killing me
Oh shucks
I wouldn't stop for a million bucks
I love you so
Just hold me tight and don't let go
(Don't let go, don't let go)
Hold me tight and don't let go
(Don't let go, don't let go)

or maybe these guys, ya mighta heard their version:




anyway, i ain't lettin winter go quite yet. very very nice day at granite peak with another school chaparone trip on some super-fast and smooth power-tilled corn snow. i rode with MK all day, and that was fabulous - she has been riding since she was 7. no young girls rode then, and while you do see some girls out there nowadays, very few to none throw down with an old-school high speed power-and-flow style like she has. so long as the boards stay on the snow in general she will keep up with anybody and - look better doing it. it is funny to go on these school trips with her because in her school-life she is the nerdy smart-kid. then, as she rips by railing truns and ripping over ice or whatever is there as fast and strong and stylee as anybody on the hill, male or female, her classmates have no idea what to make of it. :) she had $6K waitin for her in an envelope to add to the scholarship fundage when we got home, so that's a pretty sweet day right there.

nicky got an offer to stay into the weekend with some other shredders for a big contest there today, and when we last saw him he had a pocket full of 20's, a free lift ticket, and a spot on the floor at a nearby waterpark resort so there is no telling where he is today.

i stayed on theme by leaving the bike at home today, and skiing some prime conditions at cherry hills instead. some guys were calling it the best of the year. . . . i dunno about that but it was pretty nice, and now they are grooming all over nearby fields and orchards just going wild wherever they feel like over 120 acres cross-country so it is actually pretty freaking cool.
