In the short episode, I talk about having a 14-year-old cat.

Just checking in right quick. Putting a new freestyle board together tonight. I just want to skate.

Just a quick check in about skating at a Skate Park yesterday and seeing how fat I am on video. Things have got to change.

My wife and I were on vacation in Ireland for the last two weeks. I’m back. Just checking in.

I’ve been in Dublin, Ireland for the last 11 days on vacation. Beautiful city, wonderful people. Beautiful country. Going home tomorrow. Home is always home. Can’t wait to see our cat and dog again. I miss them.

In Dublin, Ireland.

Riley after beauty shop.

In this episode, I just check in and thank Lew and Luke for the nice things they said about me on their podcast.

In the short episode, I talk a little bit about skateboard wheels.

Riley helped me celebrate my 59th birthday the other day.

Just a quick check in and some blabbering about skateboarding.

In this episode, I talk about the bones brigade, and apparently they’re doing some kind of celebration of the bones brigade. And I talk about reading, which is actually a lot better.

I’ve noticed that lot of decisions I make these days regarding how I respond to things, if I respond to them, or whether I want to do something or be involved with something are made through the lens of one question…

Do I want to be that guy?

Working from home today.

Finally got out to skate this afternoon.

Not gonna lie. It was rough. I’m in horrible condition. It was still hot - about 90 F - but was manageable. Felt GREAT to be back on the board. I could feel the depression melting away.

In this episode, I blabber about Youtubers and other stuff.

In this episode I talk about losing a good skateboarding friend recently, and talk a little bit about a board that I’m putting together and some other stuff. 🎙️

I’ve been exploring Substack just to see who is producing good content but too dumb to have their own domain name.

It is astonishing how many people think you should be paying to read their writing. I don’t blame anyone for trying to make an honest buck, but man, there are just so many people doing this.

Just a quick report on my weekend trip to a funeral in Houston. Doesn’t that sound uplifting? It wasn’t a bad trip. 🎙️

Our boy Riley turned 1 a couple of days ago. 🐕

Work from home day = best day ever, every time, for Lefty.

It is hard to be a skateboarder in Texas in the summer. Even though our politics here are crazy there are some positives about living here, but as I get older and the days ahead of me for skating become fewer, this is becoming more of a deal-breaker.

But where to go? I’m sure I’ll just continue to suffer and complain.

Riley got groomed today.

Just another quick podcast about an upcoming contest, and a video I made for an upcoming video project. 🎙️

After a couple of weeks in “Board & Train”, our boy Riley is home again. It took him no time at all to settle in back at home, and its clear he knows he’s home. I love this little dog, and I love how much he loves my wife. He is a great companion for her!
