We spent a lot of winter afternoons using water hoses to turn the snow to ice and build our own luge track. The Olympics were much more popular then and I recall the Germans dominating in â76.

In case you missed the Dec issue of Rare Magazine, here is my article that ran regarding Christmas memories...divbr //divdivbr //divbr /âHoney, what do you want for Christmas? I donât know what to get you.â I donât think Iâve ever had a good answer to that question, since I was about 12 years old. Iâm a deeply scared adult male, but making up for it rapidly and vicariously through my child. Iâll explain.br /br /When I was a kid I would put deep, concentration into exactly what I wanted for Christmas. I remember as a young kid wanting things that would impress my friends, good solid conversation pieces. Itâs in guysâ blood to be competitive, be braggadocios and just plain show off. My parents, bless their hearts, just sort of âmissed the markâ as far as gifts went. Iâll admit, we were a family of modest means, but sometimes I wanted to show the other kids at elementary school that I had and âedgeâ. I recall some of those incidents when my parents not only missed the bullâs eye; the dart missed the board entirely, putting yet another hole in the wood paneling that was my ego. This is the story of why Iâve started spoiling my child.br /br /I distinctly recall the first thing I ever REALLY wanted. It was a skateboard. A killer one. It was the mid 70âs and the boom of the first extreme sport. Skateboarding magazine had just come out, guys were shredding abandoned swimming pools and empty half pipes. I wanted so badly to be a part of this culture. The technology of skateboards was booming at the time, but this was lost on my folks. That was the only thing I requested for Christmas that year. I would be ready to shred as soon as the snow melted in Kansas City the followig year. I remember opening that sadly wrapped skateboard, purchased at the local Ace Hardware store. It was a skinny board that said âGoofyfootâ on it. The thing had metal wheels! No lie. Do you remember the old metal skates that would strap around your shoes that were probably popular in the 50âs? I had the skateboard version of that, barely a generation above a Soap Box Car. Not exactly the envy of the neighborhood kids.br /br /It was amazing the power of a t.v. commercial back then. Apparently, fans of Gilliganâs Island, The Brady Bunch and The Beverly Hillbillies were prime targets for slot car racing. Iâll never forget the commercials for TCR, Total Control Racing. This was slot car racing with the ability to change lanes and pass on one section of the track. I was enamored with it. I was certain that the year had arrived that the TCR was going to be waiting for me under the tree. There was a race track that year, but not quite what I hoped for. It was, and Iâm not making this up, a Hot Wheels set. Age appropriate for a kid a good 5 years younger than me. The pieces of track were wonderful for abusing my sisters, but needed to be hidden when friends came over.br /br /The next thing I remember wanting badly was an electronic football game. Coleco had come out with amazing hand held game called Electronic Quarterback. It was really the first generation of what is now evolved into things like gameboy systems. Mobile coolness. It was pretty high tech for 1978. They had come out with the new version for two players called Head-to-Head Football for two players at once. This was very popular on my school bus rides home. It would turn into a tournaments and I needed to get better at this. I humbly put in my request that year. My mom, bless her heart, did her best, but got me Electric Football, which was a table sized football field. It was popular a good five years before that. You set up all your players on the field (a table), the opponent set up their, which were basically action figures and then you turned on the machine which was plugged in. The table would vibrate until your players fell down. It was ridiculous and even harder to play on the bus without electricity. Needless to say, I didnât make any new friends that year. br /br /The following year I had high expectations once again. Jam Boxes were huge that year. I donât mean huge as in âpopularâ, I mean they were HUGE. The bigger the better. Junior high was in full swing and there was nothing cooler than showing up to a track meet with a monster radio. John Herrera was the most popular kid in our school because he always had the latest, greatest jam box. I recall one he had that included a record player! He was a shot putter on the track team, so hauling it around was not an issue. I simply put âJam Boxâ on my wish list that year. I had distinctly different tastes in music from John and needed my own device. That year, I opened my Panasonic tape recorder. It in NO WAY resembled a Jam Box. I could have run the mile with it in my shorts. It would have come in handy if I was dictating legalese, but unfortunately on a 7th grade education, not necessary. br /br /Have you noticed the common thread? Iâve been chronically 5 years behind the rest of the world for my entire life. Donât misunderstand me. Iâm not complaining. Iâm merely doing some soul searching as to why Iâm overcompensating now. Do you think itâs a bit odd I bought my daughter a computer when she was a fetus, I have a car waiting for her in the driveway and sheâs just learning to read, and Iâve already booked her on a commercial flight to the moon.

It went surprisingly fine, especially since I'm waaaaay overweight right now. I hit the scale at 200 this morning. I should be about 175. Running was a LOT easier when I weighed 145 in high school (same height as today) Overall, I ran an 8:02 pace. I would be happy to run at a 7:00 pace, new goal of mine. I am also considering running the half marathon in Jan. I don't have much desire to run a marathon... been there, done that. That is what fried my knees 20 years ago, would hate to do that again.divCongratulations to Gilbert on his 2nd annual run./div

Such a fun weekend. My buddy, Rick, was visiting from San Diego. We got to get on the track at Driveway Austin and haul ass in a lotus. Got up to about 110mph and had a blast. Check out this vid. Sorry about the audio about half way through.

Mike Judge was dead on when he predicted the dumbing down of America in his film âIdiocracy.â He predicted that eventually the number one show will be âAwww, my Ballsâ and the Oscar winning film will be called âAssâ. The single reason we are bottom feeders for entertainment is the one and only YOUTUBE.
Youtube is single handedly destroying films and civilization. I can prove it. I am going to start out on an indisputably pure subject and show you how quickly things fall apart. I log onto Youtube and search Mother Teresa, great philanthropist and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.

Once you jump into booty shaking, itâs impossible to leave. Who are they making these videoâs for? Their boyfriends? Their girlfriends? I canât tell.

If you have an extra 10 minutes today, it will make you a much better person to watch this. I didn't see it live, but my dad sent me this video. Two things. One, I don't know why anyone would watch Leno, never understood that. Two, if you never understood or just didn't know why Paul Newman was so great, Please watch this video. I think you will understand. Great job by Letterman of doing such a great humanitarian piece on this and helping us to understand why Pal was so significant. Great stuff.

Just finished a book called Everyday Zen by Charlotte Joko Beck. This is an older book 1989 (at least old on westerners looking for enlightenment standards) but it's a must read for any westerner looking for Eastern Enlightenment.

This was the second year that Kim from a href="http://www.parentwiseaustin.com/"Parentwise magazine/a had me back for a fathers day article. I really like writing for this magazine because it challenges me in a whole different way.

Anyway, here is what I wrote for the June issue:br /br /p class="MsoNormal"It was six and a half years ago I became a father. My wife and I were ready; we had discussed it at great length considering it took time and a team of scientific experts to get pregnant. We read all the parenting literature available.

That doesnât sound like a big deal, but my wife knew something wasnât ârightâ. An early Dr. visit turned into an emergency C-section. We almost lost our little girl. Had we waited another day, we would have most likely would have. The surgery saved her and brought into this world a perfect little girl. Within a few days were home and starting our new life as young, proud, optimistic parents. After about 4-5 days our daughter started crying, kept crying and seemed as if it was never going to stop. The crying started on November 30supth/sup at about 6pm and lasted until August of 2002, about nine months! We had given birth to a colicky monster.
