Memoirs of A 70's Sneaker Wearing Dad (<--click)

Welcome to my groovy little "70's" Blog. This is an online diary highlighting my coming of age memories in the 1970's, my journey as a entrepreneurial dad and my observations of life today.

My hope is that this will be a journal of my wacky experiences that can be looked back on by my daughters, my family and my friends. Read with amusement and enjoy my take on being happy, finding things to live for and the funny side of parenting.

New Olympic Sports?

Okay, is anyone else thinking some of these Olympic sports are a little weird? Women's BMX? Are they for real? GIRLS don't ride BMX bikes!!

How is equestrian an Olympic sport? It's a horse. Jumping. Now, if the horse were on the rider and he had to carry the horse over the jumps, that would be a real sport.

What about trampoline? Sure there's a bunch of twisting and flipping but is it sporty? What if they combined trampoline with dodge ball like we did as kids? One guy on each side of the trampoline trying to bean the jumper. Talk about doing flips and twists! That was a man's sport.

Synchronized diving? Was one person diving not boring enough? I think I would rather they go all the way to team diving. Think about this... 15 guys stacked 5 high on each others backs. The team captain runs at them from behind and knocks the pyramid off the platform. The divers all have to do a flip and land at the same time. Think about it.

Rhythmic gymnastics? Shouldn't these gals be at Cirque Du Soleil? Now what if they combined this "sport" with knife throwing instead of ring and ribbon throwing. Talk about ratings through the roof.

How can you have beach volleyball but not have hacky sack?

Shooting? I thought the point of having extra security was to prevent shooting.

If they are going to come up with such wacky Olympic sports I'd like to suggest my own list.

1. Underwater Croquet - need I say more?
2. Hide and Go Seek Marathon - free to hide anywhere in the host city
3. Synchronized Bowling - judged on style and exact number of pins knocked down
4. Marco Water Polo - all players are blind folded
5. Rhythmic Tetherball - each player must hoola hoop while playing
6. Unicycle Pursuit - what a great Velodrome sport
7. Potato Peeling - this is just to help prepare lunch for everyone
8. Beach Golf - every shot is a sand trap!
9. 1000km Crawl - slower than the walk but more entertaining
10. Exhaustathon - each player must do every sport
