Mr. G is racing in his first Cub Scout Pinewood Derby. With
a little parental help, the kid needs to turn a block of wood, a weight, and
some wheels into a car for the BIG RACE.
It sounds fun. I wish Girl Scouts did something like that. Even at a young age, I'd use any excuse to break out the tools, ya know?
When his mom told me Mr. G wanted to go for style instead of
speed, I expected Mr. G to make a car looking like the Batmobile (a thumbs up
choice because we share the same taste in superheroes) or an ice cream truck to
go with his career goal of being an ice cream man.
