Worst. Birthday. Ever.

Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

Saturday, September 25th, 1976.   My 5th birthday was 2 days earlier but Saturday was my party.  I was SO excited.  I had just started kindergarten and all my new school friends were invited.

birthdaycakeMy mom had it all planned out.  It was a Batman themed party.  We had Batman streamers, Batman tablecloths, Batman plates and Batman napkins.  Of course we also had a kick ass Batman cake.

My mom had also arranged for Batman himself to come by.  This was a big deal for many reasons. One was it’s freakin’ Batman – HELLO!  That was awesome.  But it was also a big deal because an appearance by the Caped Crusader was not cheap and we did not have much money at the time.

Labor (Day) Pains

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

labor-day Like most Americans,  I really do not have a good grasp on the real meaning of Labor Day. 

Like most Americans all I really know is the bottom line:  We get Monday off.

Yes, it all boils down to a 3 day weekend.

So in an effort to be more patriotic, conscientious and to honor the TRUE meaning of Labor Day I have decided to take action.

I am putting the “Labor” back in Labor Day – bootcamp style.

Monday morning at 9:30am I will be coaching a FREE bootcamp for any and all who wish to attend.

Happy Mother’s Day

Friday, May 8th, 2009

Happy Mother’s Day.

To the mothers of sons and to the mothers of daughters. To the mothers of canines, felines, equines and all kinds – this day is for you as well. And let us not forget the mothers to be for your mothering has already begun.

A special thank you for all that you do – and yes we notice even if we don’t say. And though we can never say it enough – from your children everywhere to you, mom – we love you.

I of course have two special mothers to thank. The first is my mother, Linda.

Leaving Las Vegas

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

Last weekend I had the opportunity to visit Las Vegas on someone else’s dime. My wife Denyse had gotten roped into a timeshare presentation, with one of the free gifts being 3 days in Vegas. So we figured what the hell.

I have only been to Vegas once, and it was about 12 years ago. I heard things were different but…

Turns out I am not a Vegas type of guy.

I don’t drink, gamble or smoke. So that doesn’t really leave me much except of course for the prostitutes.

Just kidding.
