MY IPHONE SHOT OF THE WEEK - “EXCITEBIKE” I liked this one best because of the awesome dilapidated seat and the fact that it made me think of EXCITEBIKE, one of the best 80’s Nintendo games ever! Also, I like orange. For those of you unfamiliar with EXCITEBIKE, here’s a picture of the original box!!! I found it using a website called Google. I wish I could still pop a wheelie like cute little EXCITEBIKE MAN, but these days I can’t even do a sit-up without crying, so that’s probably not gonna happen. Anyway, feel free to check out more of my daily iphone photos here.

My mom on a moped, circa 2002. Can your mom tame a moped? I doubt it. It’s all good though, she still knew how to make a baby, which I’d imagine is way harder than learning how to ride a moped. Happy Mother’s Day to all the ladies who make babies!

FLASHBACK FRIDAY 08 - “2 GUYS, 2 BIKES, AND THE END OF MY INNOCENCE” The good news… I know for a fact that this photo was taken on May 15th, but I’m not sure which year. I’m guessing 1986 or 87. Anyway, it was my birthday and my folks hooked me up with a brand new shiny red and white Spalding to replace my used and abused Murray. I remember being so excited to have a bike with “hand breaks” as opposed to “foot breaks”. I also remember scrubbing those white tires with warm soapy water every night before bed. Anyway, my dad didn’t have a bike at the time so I gave him my old rusty Murray, and my mom took this picture to commemorate our new acquisitions. The bad news…  Unfortunately my new bike was stolen about a month later, along with my innocence. Fortunately my dad let me have the Murray back, free of charge. But nothing, not even my dad, could give me back my innocence, that was gone forever.

Past Christmas Classics: 2009 CHRISTMAS CARD (back) “LOVE YOUR SANTAS” So I may have fibbed a bit in my previous post. These Santas are not some random guys I found on Craigslist, rather, they are my uncles, my dad, and my grandpa. And yes, if you look closely, they are all living the Miller High Life! Oh, and for those of you who have been following along, Vicki is “pregnant” for the fourth year in a row.

Past Christmas Classics: 2009 CHRISTMAS CARD (front) “THE MILK AND COOKIE CHASE” While I DO NOT regret stealing the milk and cookies, I DO regret stealing the milk and cookies when I had a broken leg. It really slowed down our getaway plan. Santas can go from jolly to violent in the blink of an eye. Big high-five to anyone who can correctly guess which one of these Santas is my dad.

Past Christmas Classics: 2009 CHRISTMAS CARD PHOTO SHOOT No. 04 - “SANTARAMA PANORAMA” Never underestimate the power of Craigslist when looking for middle aged white men to dress up like Santa and be in your Christmas card. Perhaps my favorite Santa is the Shady Santa up on the balcony recording the whole thing on VHS. I don’t even remember that guy being up there.
