i swear, we get some of the best employees at SnoCon. Like Kristen Ebeling. She works tirelessly with SLAG, and taught snowboarding this year at the Seattle Girls Academy. what i like about this short vid is how calm and smooth it is. no huffing, grunting, sweating. just one move after another looking effortless.

well, this was a lot of fun. As a dad, - no, as an adult - i really had fun with Frank and Ethan, as they rehearsed for this talent show. we had some before-school morning jams, and working with frank at night on his vocals was a blast. as you will see, these guys are ALL SMILES. and composed like Gotti.  i mean, as a parent, it just blows my mind to see my shy kid take on a stage character. He’s lucky to have Ethan, who is the Toyota R32 motor for all things musical.

i’m sorry this video is so long. after the show (2.5 minutes) we head back to the house for sugar and a very UN-rehearsed jam with their friends. it’s got a little bit of everything. and a wizards gown. go figure. [my favorite part has got to be the close-up on Johan at the end. that says so much to me, because Yo stepped in as a Dad this winter when i was laid up, and took Frank into his family of Snowboarders. frickin' awesome]

here’s a pic of (left to right) DJ, Milo, Frank and Mackie in the middle. a powdery end to a fun season. everyone who complains about “crappy snow” should ride with these guys. they had fun every time they went up. like a wise man said, “It’s as much fun as you make it”.  (frank had the ultimate Bummer Spring Vacation: Headlice and Strep Throat for 5 days. but Day 6? to the Powder!)

is anyone else tired as fuck of the “greening’ of american commerce? i was checking out these wetsuits in the store, and the HangTag, the little paper/cardstock tag that hangs down and gives you info on the product, has, bigger than the product info next to it: “THIS TAG IS PRINTED WITH SOY-BASED INK ON RECYLCED PAPER”, and i had to shake my head and say wtf? who cares? you printed this little card, ok, thousands of these little cards with SoyBasedInk. Yay! look at you! you’ve produced a WETSUIT- made of NEOPRENE, which pretty much means they are 100% some type of petroleum by-product - and now you’re off-setting your carbon assprint with a soy-based ink? can’t those soybeans feed someone? just like the corn in the ethanol? can we feed people with that?

ok, sorry to sound so stupid. can someone tell me all the evils with regular inks? i can imagine they are toxic, (even water-based ink?) and i know that colors don’t just spring up from color springs (except in Richard Brautigan novels) so yes, paint is toxic, and maybe if we have such an excess of soybeans we could start painting houses with soy, but little hangtags? and then to call attention to it, so we like your company more? i’m all for companies leaving a smaller footprint -what’s not to love? - but must they call our attention to it? it’s like jerks who tell you how modest they are. stfu. do it and shut up.  ok.
