No, we are not going to be doing drugs or drinking at #DadChat Thursday, March 27 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET. We are going to talk about them and the issue. Drugs and drinking is a huge problem worldwide. Our kids have unfettered access to these dangerous substances. Heck, many parents are suffering their own issues with substance abuse.
One of my favorite mantras is that the job of being a parent is being our kids best parent rather than their best friend. As strongly as I believe in that, I also believe we can be cool to our kids by doing things that support being their best parent. This may seems at odds, but truly it’s not.
This Old Guy was recognized by various kids in the Terrain Park at Park City…now, the lift operators are asking him if he’s going to do the pipe today! He’s developing a “rep!”
I met this amazing 15-year-old kid today – Sasha Lion Johnstone – who does incredible jumps in the Terrain Park here at Park City. This guy is going to be a X-Games STAR not to mention The Olympics! Mark my words!

Below are two videos shot yesterday, March 18, 2014 on a glorious powder morning. I was wearing a chest-strap and using my new GoPro HERO3+. I felt all alone skiing in the trees. Heck, I was virtually all alone. How wonderful. The first video is pretty much top-to-bottom in one take while the other is a compilation of several runs with me whooping it up…
Culled from two days of safaris at Chobe Reserve in Botswana, this video shows some of the animals not featured in other videos – less of the big names and more of the variety – though you get the big guys, too…
