Such Is Parenthood
There are certain things that you have give up when you become a parent and rightfully so. For example, if you have two mouths to feed, you shouldn't go running with the bulls in Pamplona. Conversely, you should make it a point to eat better and healthy food if you want to live to see your grandkids, let alone survive to see your kid graduate high school.
So I realize that there are some things that I wanted to do when I was younger that I pretty much have to give up for life. Things like hang gliding, base jumping, running through the Bronx with nothing on but a Red Sox cap, and wrestling in Tel Aviv under the moniker, "The Buck Wild Gentile."
Such is parenthood.

Ok. Did you really do that?! Run through the Bronx in nothing but a Sox cap? If so, you are officially my new hero. Dang...
Naw, I had to give that ambition, something didn't jib about making my kid an orphan.
Dude, once in awhile whip it out (figuratively. figuratively!) and go crazy. I'm a dad, too, brother, and sometimes... eh, fuck it... I'm with you. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO US?!?
"WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO US?!?"
What do you mean, "us?" Don't put me in your category, Evel Crowl-nivel.
I don't brave sales representatives to get pens or take on penny-wielding old ladies at work cafeterias, your brand of bravery is lunacy ; )
On the checklist of things to do this summer in NYC, proudly donning a Red Sox cap at a Yankees game is near the top.... preferably at a game where Boston is visiting, but not necessarily.
You're a better man than I am, IsThatSoWrong Din.
