Today was pretty rough. A very busy day at work plus a favored co-worker’s last day. Also, not enough coffee.  So I stopped at my parents house on the way home to see my dad who had just returned from Florida after several months, and to pick up some old stuff to bring back to my house.

One of those things is my prized ~1991 Double Vision skateboard.  It’s hard to believe that I used to know how to ride that thing.  I never really had much in the way of skills, but it was totally fun and a great way for an 11 year old to get around town.  I distinctly remember being the only kid in school to have a double-kick board (some googling seems to have confirmed my suspiscion that the Vision Double was the first DK deck ever mass-produced).

19 years later, it’s still a totally great-looking slab of wood.
