Algonzo! (When I grow up, I want to be like my son.)

My son, Alex, now is a professional video game player, having taken a job with Blizzard Entertainment, makers of World of Warcraft. I’m sure proud of him, but I have to admit I find it hard to believe that you can get paid for things like that.

Alex and his friends, camping at Shaver Lake, California, this summer, got the bright idea to grab an old plastic folding table and turn it into a sled. You can see the beautiful area known as “The Potholes” in the first photograph, below. The pictures speak for themselves. Boys will be boys. Eight stitches, in case you’re wondering.
