Today I was on CNN.com and read through the "Young People that Rock" section. This is a group of people that do amazing things for the bettering of humanity by the age of 30. Each has a profile, some strength, some weakness, but all are powerful.
"ZOW...that's only a year away", I said to myself sitting in a fluorescent lamp office space.
Does any one have any good ideas? Or maybe, has anyone done anything really impressive that I could 'borrow' and make it on CNN?

Renaissance Pioneer
So I’ve recently moved to the downtown Salt Lake area. I live only a block or so away from Pioneer Park. Despite the name, the park is not full of pioneers but homeless people. I suppose pioneers in a non-traditional sense.
After church today I swung by the supermarket to do some stealthy Sabbath breaking. As I walked up to the market, one of these renaissance pioneers was staring me down in my suit. I was perplexed. As I came closer he looked me in the eye and said, “You’re shoes don’t match”. I jokingly mocked that they don’t match each other. He wipped his head back, rolled his eyes, and explained my shoes clash with my suit color. I bought both the suit and the shoes in Italy. I suppose I had thought that was what made them match.
“Well, what do you recommend?”
“Black…duh!!”
I gave him a dollar for his wisdom and wrote this haiku.
Renaissance pioneer;
Life torn and brittle
Out fashions engineer.

Ragnar Relay - Wasatch Back Race
Last weekend Adam T. Neville organized a group of 12 to run the Wasatch Back Relay Race from Logan to Park City through the mountains covering about 180 miles. We finished in about 28 hours and pained with ailment. It was great. Likely planning on it again next year...come and get it if you're interested....ZOW!

Cody Nicklaus Miskin Graduates
Big day in the Miskin family this weekend. Cody, my brother of 17 tender years, graduates from High School. I flew out to Santa Rosa for the event. It was great to see him jazzed for the event.
We also had Peggy's annual fundraiser for breast cancer event, great golf games, and a Giants game where the Giants took the Padres in extra innings. Good times!

Escalante over Memorial Day 08
Over the memorial day weekend a big crew from Logan and Salt Lake went to Escalante to backpack and hike around Coyote Gulch, Calf Creek Falls, and some slots. Here's the video...it was epic!
I couldn't extract Sarah's singing from video; so here it is in video.

An unexpected visitor
Walked out to work in the yard and found this dead deer between my bedroom window and the AC unit in the backyard. Between dry heaving and hoisting, Adam and Mark pulled it out while Andrea's filming, Jocelyn offering some moral support and I'm sandbagging and dry heaving in the background....ZOW!
