Samson celebrated his 12th birthday yesterday at The Flow Skatepark. I’ve written about the The Flow a couple of times (I think admission has gone up to $14 since that last posting). Sammo invited 10 of his friends and they spent three hours riding up and down ramps. (By the way, you can click any [...]

“This is Holly,” said the very-young sounding voice. I was on the edge of thinking it was a wrong number when she continued, “Samson’s fallen off his bike and he’s bleeding a little bit.” The timing of the call had been incredible. I’d stopped by my office to pick up something before I shot off [...]
You know how sometimes you’ll hear a blurb of a noise, it doesn’t sound like anything, you don’t give it any thought and then something else will happen that explains the noise and gives it a bit of importance to a larger event? This is the something else portion: “Ow,that hurt” said Samson. “I farted [...]
Samson and I went to The Flow Skatepark today. Built inside a warehouse, it provides more than 40,000 square feet of skating/skateboarding/biking fun. Admission is a mere $12.00. Non-skateboarders/bikers can sit and watch their kids for free. Technorati Tags: The Flow,Skate Park,The Flow Skatepark
