Rest in Peace Roddy Piper




I'm shocked and saddened to find out today of the tragic death of one of my all time favorite wrestlers. Roddy Piper has died at 61. He played an equal roll along with Hulk Hogan to launch the WWE into the billion dollar industry that it is today. It was their relationship in the ring that made wrestling explode into the mainstream. Wrestlemania was born out of everyone's hatred for Piper and love of The Hulkster. What sucks is for all those millions upon millions of dollars that he made for Vince McMahon, during his last few years, Mr Piper was probably working his ass off just to pay the bills and put food on the table. Very sad. Rest in Peace brother. You will be missed.

Bucket List

Lately I find myself saying "I'm going to put that on my bucket list". The trouble is I don't have a list. So this is my attempt to get back into working on this blog and write my bucket list. I may come back and revise this list from time to time. We will see....

MY BUCKET LIST:

Motorcycle across the United States 
Bench press 300 pounds 
Presidential Range traverse in the White Mountains of New Hampshire
Own a 1977 Black Trans Am
Travel with my family out west in an RV
Climb the Grand Teton
Become a student of Kendo
Make my own bourbon
Take up smoking a pipe


That's it for now.  I know I'm forgetting some, but this is just off the top of my head.
