Something fun to do...

Next time you are riding in the car with your wife (or husband, significant other, etc.) and a classic '80s rock song comes on, like today when Def Leopard's "Pour Some Sugar on Me" came on, here is what to do.

Start singing in the '80s rock voice and play air guitar...your wife will love it or in my case, she will shut the radio off and tell you that you're an idiot.

Good times.

Ok maybe not...

These two brothers were gored at the same time. That does not look comfortable.

Would you do this?

It's that time of the year again...the running of the bulls at the San Fermin Festival in Pamplona, Spain. Each day during the 8-day festival, six to twelve bulls are let loose to run about 800 meters along narrow cobblestone streets with hundreds of people running in front, behind, and in this guy's case, on top of them. Amazingly, since 1924 only 13 people have died doing this.

If there was a group of friends I would want to run with the bulls with, they would have to be Reisetter, Bastron, Hansen, and Chidester. I have been on many trips and have experienced a lot of crazy things with these guys, and the thought of us running in front of a group of ticked-off bulls, would be priceless. Chidester would be yelling "Oh Shoooot," Hansen would try and jump one of the bulls, Bastron would be yelling "Winnnnnnnnner" everytime someone got nailed by a bull, and Reisetter, well for those of you that know Matt, just think about him running with bulls.

Well guys, what do you think? Would you run with the bulls? I would.

Update from Texas...

This will be a quick update because the only thing happening down here is rain...Average rainfall in June is 3 inches and we have had 11.5 inches. Good times!

Easy buddy...

What can I say...my nephew Dylan is a wild one! He really gets going.

Flood pictures from North Texas...

Here are some pictures that Valerie took of the flooding that took place in North Texas recently. We went up there the other day and The Salvation Army has been in the area for the last week providing assistance.

If you love the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry...you will like this one.

Blading...

About 2.5 weeks ago, Valerie talked me into buying some roller blades. As many of you know, Valerie grew up figure skating and then started rollar blading after she was done with that. I have always done the biking and running thing, but we figured this could be something that we could do together out in the glorious weather that we have here in Texas year around (ok, most of the time). I had done some hockey skating when I lived in Minnesota, so I figured I could catch on pretty quick.

Anyways, this has been one of the best moves I have made, when it comes to excerising. I love it!! We have started off by going about 3-5 miles a day, 5 times a week. There is a great trail by our place so we will be able to continue to up our mileage as we go each time.

Why do I like it so much? First, it is far less strenuous on my knees and body (I am 31 now folks!) then running and I think I get just as go as workout, if not better than running. Second, I can go for longer distances and periods of times, so I can workout longer. Thirdly, I get a better total body workout then biking or running. And finally, its something that Valerie and I can do together.

So if you are looking for a new workout idea, check out rollar blading...it will be worth it (just don't kill yourself while you're learning).

LeBron James...

This guy is ridiculous...this dunk could have won the Gus Maucker dunk contest in Cedar Falls back in '96.
