Birth of a skate rat

It's summer out; take off that beanie!

I should have known earlier.  The telltale signs were there.  He clearly preferred scootering over walking.  He didn't learn to ride his bike until he was practically driving.  He listens to Green Day and Linkin Park.  When he's not practicing skating, he's playing Skate 3 on the Xbox.  And now, he is into surf-wear, brands like "Volcom", customizing scooter parts, stickers, building skateboards, and learning to surf.  Yesterday, he actually got out and up on a couple of waves (more than his Dad could say).  We even went to a skatepark.  The bowls were a little intimidating at first, but he was eventually going up and down some ramps.  Extreme Josh.
