20 Years Ago

Hard to believe 1999 was twenty years ago. I would like to commit to a few things tonight. To publish 20 Saturdays the book by 2020 as a fictional representation of our love story. To recommit to my music. To post more meaningful posts here and in all my blogs. To enjoy doing it. Wish me luck.

Dangerous Dave, Bill Keenan, and Top of Ten Tom

These three guys are totally old school and original members of my Snowmass Possie. Cruising the Burn. Looks like Bill's new girlfriend is on tellies cool to see them holding hands about halfway down. Up top it cracks me up hearing Tom talking to Dangerous about playing the Dragon later that night! Anyway cool little clip of a casual little romp into Mic's Gully!

Seventh Hour Rich Man

How's does it feel to be one of the beautiful people?

Maybe your a rich man maybe your a rich man maybe your a rich man too?

Wow! In the previous post the clip of Suzy and Henry it's hard for me not to believe I was one of the riches men in my community. I was too blind to see it. So broke I couldn't afford a lift ticket, but the love in my little, brand new family and my friends and the life I lived for twenty Saturdays, maybe I was one of the beautiful people, maybe I was a rich man too.

Suzy and Henry 1999 / Fresh Out of the Box

Don't think you can really hear her, but Suzy says your annoying him. It was the first words captured in Twenty Saturdays. Prophetic words. It is with sweet sorrow I view this clip. King Henry Honeybutter Keith is no longer with us. He was the best dog ever. Seriously. All my dogs have been special, great even, but Henry, hands down the best dog ever. And Suzy, so beautiful, so young, her smile literally melts my heart and steals my breath. How I didn't spend every minute of those Twenty Saturdays with her, my new bride, the love of my life, the future mother of my children, boggles my mind. I guess I was scared. Scared and foolish. Scared, foolish and still a little wild at heart.

Henry's annoyance at being filmed should have been a sign I read more seriously. This little project of mine would seriously annoy my wife. Now, eighteen years latter, if I had to do all over again I wouldn't. Don't get me wrong I am really glad to be doing what I'm doing now and believe I really needed my twenty Saturdays back then to be me here right now. Reworking Twenty Saturdays as a blog instead of a movie is something I could never have foreseen. Sure in 1999 I had a computer and I was online and I was rebel enough to go with Yahoo instead of AOL. But I had no idea I would someday own www.andykeith.com and I would blog for fun and it would help deal with the loss of my father and sister and help me come to terms with my past.

Common Sense at Aspen Highlands 2000!

Skinning up the Aspen Highlands was a lot harder than my usual hikes up Snowmass. But when I got there to the mid-way lodge it was a total party. It was Wonterskol, but the weather makes it look more like Spring. This clip is a good representation of the fun being had that day at the Aspen Highlands. I would ski later in the day and hook up with my friend who ripped in a mono sled and latter would achieve fame in the Xgames and In the Olympics, when that footage is found I will surely share.
