    I am not that much of a baseball fan, but for some reason the last five years or so I really have enjoyed watching the playoffs and World Series if I get a chance.  I like that it is the high pressure time of the season and I enjoy listening to the commentators as they...

So, my friend Jodi and her guy Zach are in town visiting... they are both fellow skateboarders. So, we made plans to go skate. But, they also just had a baby 6 weeks ago. No matter, they can bring the baby and we can carry on as usual.. so they say. We somehow ended up at the Y to skate...

Another excerpt from that book i'm working on. Enjoy!         It couldn’t start without coffee. Soothing dark brown richness. This and every morning’s first thought. Coffee coffee coffee! The silent symphonic thought mantra that leads me out of...

ABA Disney race was not that nice to me this year.  Had some bad luck and bad laps that just didn't go my way.  bad luck in the semi on sat.  Bad 3 laps in Sunday's main.  1 unclip and 1 I hit a hay bail, haha  Not a good weekend to say the least.  Stoked that KB...
