Perks

Being a car salesman (VW's for those who are wondering) can be relatively uninspiring. I try to have as much fun with it as posssible, and do my best to not act like a "salesman". Every now and then you get a customer that has the ability and the desire to give you something as thanks for not making them suffer through another stereotypical cheesy car salesman.

Now that we have a baby, this is great!

Now I'm gonna have to start running

Its the Joovy Zoom ATS. Assembled like a champ and runs great! The more I look at it I'm surprised they can retail it for what they do. Seems like it would be more expensive.

EDIT:
After a week of using the Zoom ATS, my wife and I LOVE it. I do kinda wish we'd gotten the 360 with the swivel front wheel though. The fixed front wheel is best for serious runners, but if we had the 360 we would be using it for a regular stroller as well, not just a jogger.

Why do you limit the outdoors activities covered on DDD?

I limit the interpretation on "outdoors" and "exploration" based on the human experience provided by activities. All the activities I have listed are "human-powered" ie: no motorized equipment, and all are non-team sports. I'm not trying to discriminate against football or basketball etc, I love those sports. The purpose of DDD is fathers to actively raise their children with an understanding of the world around us that can't be experience with organized sporting activities held in specific venues.
