You’re enjoying the social and sensory splendor of the holiday season. Your family and friends have experienced triumph and tragedy, and you’re wondering how you can help. You’ve lived through some high highs and low lows, and survived. You’re trying your best to do the right thing and not always succeeding. You treasure the people who have come into your life…
Make a decision. Make it public. Make it happen. This formula has worked well for me the last 6 years. I completed all but one goal for 2013, which was “write my second book.” No excuses… I just didn’t get it done. I did, however, take on 5 stand-up comedy performances and several motivational speeches…
I grew up reading Iron Man comic books. I always admired his invincibility, and his self-made suit of armor not only made him strong on the outside, it literally kept his heart beating on the inside. As a boy, I fantasized about having an iron exoskeleton like that to protect me and my heart from harm. Here…
I was running with my brothers through Brooklyn in the middle of the street. You can get away with this when you’re in a marathon. I like to make new friends during races, and NY did not disappoint. We came up behind this grey-haired guy, surely in his early 70’s, wearing slightly-too-short running shorts and…
There are chunks of gold, silver and bronze, precious metals, for the winners – those who demonstrate amazing speed by running 26.2 miles in 2 hours. Then there are the precious medals which go to those who slog it out side by side in 6 hours. Both types of athletes deserve some applause, but there is…
You can define beauty however you want to, but I don’t think the most beautiful people are the ones with the most red carpet photos or Twitter followers. Nor the ones with the most perfect cheekbones or bikini bodies. It’s awesome to be fit and attractive on the outside, but beauty on the inside is…
I admit it… I like the cape. I’ve been wearing it to draw attention to the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation. A red cape implies super strength, and that’s what my brother Jeff demonstrates as he continues to beat down cancer in his life. I skated up a mountain in this cape last Sunday to fulfill…
I thought it would take at least 2 weeks to raise $3000 with a crazy dare. It only took 2 days. You responded to the Skateman Mountain Challenge so generously, that we even crossed the $8000 mark today! Starting at 10am this Sunday, October 6th, I will climb the most challenging incline in Tracy on…
No one has ever attempted to roller skate up and back down Patterson Pass in recorded history. (I googled it.) Some of you would wonder if it’s possible to skate 4.5 miles up to the top and back down with 1600 feet of elevation. Some of you would call me the right kind of crazy. I’ll…
There are no guarantees in life. You can hope and pray and work your hardest to get what you want and sometimes you just don’t get what you want. Does this make you a failure? Does this justify giving up on goal-chasing altogether? I don’t know where I heard it first, but I like this…
