mental meanderings of a random guy in the san francisco bay area

My Dad is Crazy
This is him jumping off the highest bungee platform in the world on the Macau Tower. He did this yesterday, at the age of 52, while on a business trip in China. He sure knows how to take advantage of his spare time. Sweet mother.

Thanks Jackson- "Youth is not a time of life- it is a state of mind. It is a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions. It is a freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 50 more than a boy of 20.
Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years.
People grow old by deserting their ideals."
These are words to live by that my Dad passed on to me, that I pass on to you and everyone else. And when you get the chance- DANCE! ;) Loveya, Dad
We can't let dad show us up...we're going to Macau. One of my customers told me it's like the Vegas of China...except it's pretty much the only place in China that gambling is allowed...and it's worse. Heh.

Hey, those are some GREAT words of wisdom. I couldn't agree with your dad more! I think it's awesome. When do we get to see the base jumping pictures?
