The youtube clip to the right is the king of Old School, Steve Corino talking about his first trip to Puerto Rico and meeting Invader. Invader is the man that murdered Bruiser Brody. Good stuff.

Tomorrow evening, I am off to watch ROH in Dayton, Ohio. Click here for the Ring of Honor recap. Tomorrow night will feature an Adam Pearce (NWA Heavyweight Champion) vs. Nigel McGuinness (ROH Heavyweight Champion) in a title versus title match. I am going to go way out on a limb and say that there will not be a clean finish.

In non-wrestling news, we had two beautiful and exhausting days in Athens. MO (Mini-Omega) attended Ohio University youth football camp. My wife, twin daughters, and I took in the town. With gas prices at $4.00 per gallon, we decided to leave the jeep parked. We took our mountain bikes with us.

On Monday, we dropped the boy off at football camp, hopped on our bikes and rode on the bike path to Nelsonville, Ohio. We took a wrong turn in Nelsonville and added another 2-miles to the trip. We ended up riding about 14-miles to get to Sonic. We had an awesome lunch. Then, we got back on the bikes and headed back to Athens. All total, we rode about 28-miles. The ride was a little rough. The challenging part was towing our twins in a carrier behind our bikes. Towing 75 pounds of cargo 28-miles can wear out the legs.

MO had a good time at camp. He ran around, played football all day, and received some individual instruction from division one college football coaches. On Tuesday, the kids competed in a punt, pass, kick, and sprint competition. MO took second place in the sprint and passing competitions.

Saturday morning we leave for vacation. We will spend a few days at Lake Cumberland in Kentucky. Then, we may hit an amusement park for a day or two. It feels completely bizarre to go on a family vacation. In the past decade we have managed to take only a handful of trips together. This should be interesting.
