So that's the boy rockin' the kids race at Toro Park yesterday. Unbeknownst to me, they make the tykes do a complete lap of the course, as opposed to one of those sissy type series/races where they set up a miniature lap around the parking lot. CCCX build racers with cajones! And he loved it. He also loved the strawberries they gave as well as the medal to all the finishers. A proud moment, to be sure, when he got to supply the family with the goods. He later asked me if the medal was real gold and I told him absolutely. He then told me that no matter how much it would fetch with one of those gold companies you hear on the radio that will buy gold, this medal was
not for sale. Beauty. He then asked me this morning whether the pictures were posted yet and so we looked. Apparently the DNA is hard coded in my lineage to obsessively look for results and photos of the weekends exploits. No luck at 7am this morning, but for sure we'd have something by the evening, I told him. True to form, Rick Rassmussen is Johnny On The Spot with the photo as pictured above, and one little boy will be a little bit happier as a result. Make that two. Anyway, hope you are well.

Dear Johnny:

Cajon means drawer or box-drum in Spanish. I believe the word you're looking for is 'cojon'... as in, "Senor, you're slugger isn't very big but your cojones son muy grande".

Or maybe it's 'capon' you're looking for; which means castrated rooster and was first introduced by the Romans as a way to get around a prohibition on fattening up hens so as not to waste grain or whatever they used to fatten up a hen.
