Well, our final Cub Scout Pinewood Derby took place on Saturday. It went off without a hitch and I will miss being the emcee of this important event in coming years. (In this picture are: Nathan, Alex, Ryan, Matt, Jordan, Kyle and my son Kyle.)
My hidden desires to be an announcer definitely come out when I have the microphone in my hand and a captive audience of 7 - 11 year olds. The parents are too polite to not laugh at my lame jokes; it is the perfect gig... although the pay is lousy. :-)
The usual kids whose dads built the cars won the race... unfortunately my son never won an award in his 5 years, and this fact really hit him hard this year and he broke down. It is a good life lesson to learn... you don't win everything (or anything). Although a win every once in a while does give you some hope...
