oh, crap. summer's almost over. Pirate has his new Trapper-Keeper for his first day at his new school. Ali is trying to decide which of his 4 or 5 pairs of Vans he'll wear to class. and Adam's daughter is on her way to finishing school to the four of us.

I suppose this video would already have hit H1N1 viral status if he had actually taken flight over one of the guardrail-less cliffs.
By the way my professorial brother, I've just taken it upon myself to update the wikipedia entry for "curmudgeon" to reflect your recent entry into the club.
