Once back in Portland, there was a boat show in January, and it so happened we had an ice storm and got stuck there. There was a booth where they were demoing the Segway, and I got a few hours of riding time. Very fun.

Love the new ones with the new steering system, where you just lean and it takes you instead of needing to twist a handle.

I was in the grocery store yesterday when a kid came down the aisle through a crowd of people rolling on those damn things carring a big 12-pack of toilet paper and shouting "Excuse me!" If only I had a shopping cart I would have shoved it right in front of him. I was also tempted to check him against the meat case hockey style, but there was no way I could have made that look like an accident...

The key is to be facing away, and just start the chain of events that send him reeling into the frozen beef section.

Maybe you need to play for the Seahawks. I'd really like to see them go back to the Super Bowl. I mean, being from Portland they were the local team.
