#79 – Race for the Cure

Enter one of our charity walks, Race for the Cure, Saturday of Mother’s Day weekend.
Sometimes, bowing to peer pressure is not all bad. I’m not saying you should jump off the bridge with your friends, or get married in Vegas just because two other guys did it, but there are occasionally positives.

Not on the List – Witness Bad Parking
My wife is a fan of several blogs mocking the mundance and the insane. Among them is the Bad Parking blog. She was only too pleased to make submissions.
#6 – Grind the gnarly gnashing, dude. Or something.
Skateboard, bike or rollerblade at Skateboard Park on Market Street near bridge in Ottumwa.
Not on the List – See the Moving Pictures – For Real This Time
Though the Capri Theatre is gone, movies are not dead in Ottumwa – not in any such way.
