NOT SO BOLD:

CLOSER TO HOME:
BUT HELL, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE SIERRAS, GUNKS, AND ADIRONDACKS!
LET'S SAY THAT AGAIN:
NOTHING WRONG WITH THE 'DACKS, GUNKS, AND YOSEMITE.
AND SOMETIMES:
WE DO NOT EVEN HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE TO HAVE AN ADVENTURE.
INDOORS:
LESS TIME OUTSIDE MEANS FEWER GEAR GIFTS AND MORE BOOKS ON BIRTHDAYS.
AT TIMES:
WE LOOK LESS DYNAMIC, CHARISMATIC, AND STUDLY.
BEAUTY:
IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER EXCEPT WHEN YOU TAKE ON A CHUNK OF ICE.
I MEAN:
WE ARE OLD FARTS AND WE CAN NOT ALWAYS LOOK SLICK AND POLISHED.
