Possible Career Change

I think I've found what I really want to do with the rest of my life. I certainly love working as a physical therapist, but I always knew I could only practice therapy until I found something that fit me better. I always thought I'd make the switch once my ninja career took off, but then I came across The Bushman in San Francisco. Check out the video.......that's what I want to do. Talk about living the dream, it doesn't get any better than scaring the crap out of people, old and young alike, all day long.

We watched this guy for an hour while eating and were thoroughly entertained.


We had a lot of fun in San Francisco last weekend. We really can't get enough of that city. Lori had a conference for three days at Fort Mason, and I thought the good-husband thing to do would be to accompany her and take advantage of the available rental car and hotel room that she had already paid for. We flew in Thursday night and left on Sunday afternoon. We stayed right on Fisherman's Warf. We enjoyed being able to see my cousins and Grandparents Saturday night. For the most part, I was able to explore a lot while Lori was in her classes. After she got out, I got to explore a lot more. Here are a few more photos.

This is Lori up on Telegraph Hill overlooking Alcatraz.

Here's Lori modeling with the Goldengate Bridge Sunset Scene in the background.....breathtaking.

That's me just chillin' like a villain with the big city in the background.

Of course I had to take advantage of the hills close by in Marin County. I went on a beautiful run overlooking the coast. It's part of the Miwok 100 race, I'll definitely be wanting to run the race someday. It was a beautiful run.

Another picture from the hills. Running in the Columbia River Gorge one weekend and then in the Marin Headlands the next weekend; needless to say, it was difficult coming back down to reality.
More about the Bushman career aspirations. I'm going to see what I can do on the streets of Twin Falls. We'll see how it goes, I'll keep everybody posted. Later.......Jon
