  • We had just moved from Portland to Denver, and were trying new restaurants. One Sunday we ordered delivery from a local Chinese place that had good reviews. Food came, we ate and all was good for a couple of hours.

    Then my wife said "I think I’m gonna puke* and dashed for the bathroom. Being the good husband, I followed her to hold her hair while she worshipped the porcelain god.

    She had barely got done emptying the content of her stomach, when I literally had to shove her out of the way to emoty mine.

    We were both miserable for about 36 hours.










  • Two men other than my father had dramatic impact on my life. Both of them were PE teachers, one in elementary school and one in high school.

    I was awkward, uncoordinated, and a social outcast. I was always the last picked when teams were picked. My elementary school PE teacher solved this by making me the “captain” and I got to pick the teams.

    My high school PE teacher, who won State championships and coached future NBA all-stars still had time to be my doubles partner when we were playing tennis.

    Those two men were definitely my champions.
