Fire Water
Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 8:00AM New Jersey, circa 1990. Friends from college were throwing a summer party. I was the self-appointed Chairmen of The Slip And Slide Committee.
I optioned for the Dual Race Version, so that two people could careen down the "slippery when wet" polyurethane highway at once, testing their speed, skill, and alcohol impairment.
It was a huge hit. My twin brother Mike and I, however, took it to the next level. We’re good at that.
After a few dozen races, it wasn’t enough to get a running start and slide down the track as fast as we could. We wanted to get a running start and slide down the track as fast as we could carrying lit tiki torches. Made it feel kinda like the Olympics.
I’ve been called a one man show. And I am. But I really love being part of a team. And my twin brother is one of my favorite teammates.
