Got your 100 pts?
A man dies and goes to heaven. St Peter meets him at the gates of heaven. “Here’s how it works”, says St Peter. “You need 100 points to make it into heaven. You tell me all the good things you’ve done and I give you a certain number of points for each item, depending on how good it was. When you reach 100 points, you get in. “Okay”, the man says, “I was married to the same woman for 50 years and never cheated on her, not even in my heart.” “That’s wonderful”, says St Peter. “That’s worth 3 points.” …
The Smiles Get Wider…
Right after Christmas, I went with Noah, my son, to Holiday in the Park at Six Flags. We had a great time, but we froze our “youknowwhats”. Standing in lines is not my idea of fun and if you add cold, windy weather on top of that, I go negative on the “fun-o-meter”. But its always fun to watch people and I noticed something odd when we were standing in line for the La Vibora ride. The smiles get bigger the closer you are to the front of the line. Duh. I guess that’s to be …

Drop-In
Have you ever done something that you were sure would break your neck? Today, I took my son, Noah, to the Grand Prairie Skatepark to practice what he had learned this week in skate camp. I had taken him earlier in the week to show me what he could do, but this time was different. Last time I was telling him how to do things and encouraging him to try new “stunts”. He didn’t seem to like my “words of encouragement” when it came to doing a “drop-in” on the 3 ft. quarter pipe. If you don’t know …
Kids Say Some Funny Stuff
If you would have been in the bathroom with my 3 year old son Jacob and I on Thursday night you would have heard the following conversation take place… Dad: “Jakey, do you know where your poopey comes from?” Jacob (with passion): “From my BUTT!” Dad (both of us laughing): “Yes, you are right.
