i am apparently old and dorky

Tonight I drove my 8th grader and three of his friends (two boys, one girl) to the Jack Johnson concert at a park downtown. (Gonna pick them up in a little while)

This is the first time I've let him go to something big like this without an adult, so on the way there I was sort of lecturing all 4 of them on 'the rules,' and one of the things I said was, "...and people around you will probably be smoking dope but that doesn't mean....", at which point they interrupted me when they all simultaneously burst out laughing.

I asked what was so funny and one of the boys jovially informed me that "NO ONE says 'dope' except really old hippies!"

I am not THAT old and am definitely not a hippie, but apparently I am old enough and fairly dorky.

I then finished my admonitions, using the geekiest, most old school language I could conjure, and dropped them off.

Hahaha...I think that's pretty darn funny! I can totally see the boys just giggling in the back!

Old? Not too told. Dorky? Yes, but in a good way.

Hello, I have a fairly new website that has been online for about 8 months. I am doing research as per a fellow website owner suggested to gather information about delivering good content to my visitors. I looked at alot of websites that are in my area breyer horse com . I have done the internet MLM thing and really got disgusted at the whole thing. So my wife and I thought since we love horses we should build a website around that. We have done pretty good so far but I always want to improve. I didn;t realize it would be so time consuming though. But we love it and hope to improve and offer some of the best recourses and products available. Hence the search for content new products and information about what we have.

Thank you for your BLOG.

Regards,
