Snowboarding is like an aquired skill. It is a sport that is slowly becoming more and more popular. Some of the best spots to find great slopes are Squa Valley, North Star, and Kirkwood which are all located in Tahoe. They have some of the best black diamond courses that should really only be attempted by a trained or professional boardes. I learned this the hard way when I twisted my ankle on my very first run of the day. But a couple beers at the local lodge cured all that.

My son Jordan is now six years old and everyday with him is like a full day at the gym. He is filled with energy and I continuously keep up with him. His favorite things to do are play video games, play at the beach, and run around with his friends like thiers heads were cut off. He is in first grade and enjoys learning because he is a very open minded kid. Be ready to spend a half hour at the candy store if you are treating him to treats. He is very candy indecicive. But he is my greatest joy and I love him.

 I became a Detroit Lions fan back when I played high school football. I was a running back which did not fit my size. After watching the now retired Barry Sanders play I was set to star in that position. My chance finally came when I was a freshman during our fourth game. I took the field and managed to score two touch downs that game. Since then I have become a die hard fan and so far this year the Lions are playoff contenders which is more than I could say for our Bay Area teams.
