I’ve been on break the last week, staying home with the family to relax a bit and help with pottytraining. That’s why the blog has been so quiet lately. But now I’m back at the grindstone, which means I should be able to post more frequent updates.<\/p>\n
One of my most interesting accomplishments during the break, other than not getting peed on (I don’t think), is applying to be a contestant on ABC’s hit game show called Wipeout<\/a>. In case you haven’t seen it, Wipeout sends contestants through four wacky obstacle courses as they compete for $50,000. As they go, the hosts provide commentary that’s one of the best parts of the show. Just watch it. You’ll understand. <\/p>\n Jenny and I discovered Wipeout right after Brenden was born. We are big fans of other obstacle-course shows like Ninja Warrior and MXC, so we gave Wipeout a try and rolled with laughter. Unfortunately, Jenny’s c-section incision didn’t really appreciate the show’s humor, but she was having so much fun that we kept watching anyway. After that, we were hooked. <\/p>\n I filled out an online application and now must wait for a phone call that would invite me to LA for an interview. I have no idea what my odds are, but surely thousands of people have applied already for Season 4, which airs next summer. If I do manage to get picked for the show, I would spend a week in California for taping at some point this fall or next spring. <\/p>\n To wish me well, the correct lingo is “Good luck, and big balls.” You’ll understand once you watch the show. =)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve been on break the last week, staying home with the family to relax a bit and help with pottytraining.
