Will I Live to see 80? 

Here's something to think about. 

I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said 

I was doing 'fairly well' for my age. (I just turned 30-something.) 

A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80?' 

He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, 
wine or hard liquor? 

'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'

I went snowmobiling in the Mountains of Wyoming with my 9 year old son this weekend.  This was the first time he had ever been snowmobiling in the mountains.  I've taken him riding in Minnesota and Wisconsin in the past and he has done just fine.  Well needless to say the mountains are a entirely different animal all together.  First,  we were riding at 10,500 feet above sea level.  Second, the snow was super deep, were talking 3.5 to 4 feet deep of powder.  If you haven't put 2 and 2 together yet let me explain.  I'm one hurting unit today from getting him unstuck about 15 to 20 times.  If

Sorry about the last blog everybody.  I couldn't get the video of the dolphin swimming working on my MacBook but it appears to be working off my PC.  So without any further ado he is the video of the dolphin the family and I had swimming beside the boat in Naples, FL.  Hope you enjoy.

The family and I just got back from Marco Island, FL from a vacation. Pretty hard to go from a week of 80 degree whether to -2 degree weather in beautiful Minnesota. It's a good thing I have this tiny little video to allows remind me of this fantastic vacation. I thought it was pretty cool. Let me know what you think. (I need some help from somebody on how to upload this 52 second video to this website If you can help please pm me I'm working on a macbook)
