Kickball

Remember kickball, where you kick the ball and run around the bases like baseball? I'd like to start a professional league- the NKA- National Kickball Association. Here are the advantages: It's pretty similar to baseball so most people would understand it right away, the ball is big enough so everyone can actually see what's going on, it would be more fast-paced then baseball because every pitch would most likely be a hit (no messing around with all those boring balls and strikes) and there's a lot of kicking so you'd get the soccer fans involved.

Salt Lake's Antelope Island

If you ever thought of camping on Antelope Island, don't. Here's why in a nutshell: No trees, no water, no campfires permitted, (at least when I was there) and no flush toilet (pit only). Go if you like a lot of big spiders and you get a thrill out of walking into vast swarms of (I guess they're some type of small) flies along the shore.

Waiter's dream customer

No matter how bad the food is at a restaurant, I will seldom if ever complain about it. When the waiter comes by and asks how everything is, it's a pretty standard practice for me to say "fine" even if octopus tentacles were slithering through my mashed potatoes. I guess I have a kind of hidden phobia with these food servers. I don't want them to get upset with me and retaliate by spitting into my soup or holding my biscuit under their arm. It's kind of a strange relationship where the servant is actually the master.

Now What?

Oh no, not another blog from Galen. First we get "Galen's Gallery", now we get "Galen's Gab"
What's next? "Galen's Gut" (a blog on recipes) or maybe "Galen's Goofs" ( a blog on, well, Galen's goofs) or "Galen's Ga-Ga" (baby care blog)...
Let's see how this goes.
