She can&#8217;t do it this weekend because of the Super Bowl, so they picked next Thursday for the celebration. Part of the reason they picked Thursday is because they booked a suite at the Sommet Center for the hockey game that night against the Anaheim Ducks. There is a family joke about the Mighty Ducks, but that&#8217;s another story.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure what to get this kid for a cool birthday present. He&#8217;s turning 8 and is just a typical eight year old &#8211; into all kinds of sports and video games. Uncle Adam&#8217;s present has to be awesome! I&#8217;m thinking it might be a good time to introduce him to skateboarding. I think that&#8217;s about the age when I first got interested in the sport. Of course, things have changed since I was riding skateboards. The boards themselves are much more tekkie and its all about a custom designed board.<\/p>\n<p>The best web site I can find about skateboards is called www.warehouseskateboards.com. I&#8217;ve been reading up on their page &#8220;Skateboard Buying Guide&#8221; about skateboard basics and how to choose the right boards and components based on age and size. They also have some really wild designs for a huge selection of boards.<\/p>\n<p>If I order it today I can get it shipped here in time for the birthday party, so looking at their choices for a longboard complete package, I&#8217;m going with the rad &#8220;Blind Reaper&#8221; design. This will blow his mind!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/adambryson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/blindreaperboard.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-196 aligncenter\" title=\"blindreaperboard\" src=\"http:\/\/adambryson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/blindreaperboard.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"52\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My sister called this morning and invited me to her son&#8217;s birthday party next week.
