The Canis Lupus is a natural half-pipe at Canyons Resort in Utah. Skiing it is a kick beyond belief. The Canis Lupus is a mile-long, curving, amazing chute that is simply awesome and scary as can be. I love it. This particular time, I held my poles in one hand, my iPhone gloveless in the other and did this particular video all in one take. You can clearly hear my excitement along with hearing my son’s singing my radio show theme song. I hope you enjoy it half as much as I did skiing it!

A Rant on Political Correctness
You all know I like to rant. Just about nothing gets me more riled up than political correct nonsense. And nonsense is just the right word. I took excerpts from a recent radio show, Let’s Talk about Political Correctness, that I had video’d. Though I don’t “do politics,” I can’t help but often speak and write about my disdain for speech codes and the irony of political correctness limiting free speech. You know, rant. My most recent column on this was Diversity, Equality, and Other Four-Letter Words I Disdain. But, this short video will give you a hint at the passion and ire I have towards this subject!
My Parents’ Love Affair
My parents had the greatest love story, love affair of them all! I threw a 50th Wedding Anniversary surprise party for them in June, 1989. This was way before packaged videos of events. I hired a new videographer who basically just “shot” the event. I prepared my own visual presentation at the party and that is what you’ll be seeing in this 14-minute video. I hope you appreciate it. I was once young!

Homework for this chat is my #1 column on 12Most.com – 12 Most Classic Romantic Songs for Valentine’s Day.
Valentine’s Day: The Greatest Love Affair of Them All
Love and Marriage was a classic Sinatra song. Its lyrics truly seem quaint and decidedly old-fashioned today. But, my parents lived a love affair that stood the test of time and incredible challenges. Their love affair was a model that was pretty hard for their peers to match and certainly impossible in my generation for both my wife and any of my married friends – at least those that I know well.
He Said, She Said: Men Vs. Women on Valentine’s Day
I’ve gone off the charts with Valentine’s columns and Because I Said So comic strips this year. I guess I like the true contrast between men and women on their views of this holiday. Special friend Kim Tracy Prince wrote Girl’s Talk: A Woman’s Opinion on Valentine’s Day and I responded with Guy’s Talk: A Man’s Opinion on Valentine’s Day. My column for 12Most from last year is still getting tons of hits, reaching #1 for them this past week – 12 Most Classic Romantic Songs for Valentine’s Day. Finally, we’ll be sharing OUR favorite Love Songs at #DadChat this coming Thursday, February 14th.
