Boys Will Be Boys

A good friend (not the young man pictured above) recently participated in an attempt to break a Guinness Record--a total of 1683 guitarists-mostly males--gathered in a stadium in Kansas City, MO and played Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water. It wasn't quite Woodstock but a good time was had by boys of all ages and some girls, too.

Boys and boys-at-heart in need of adventure should take a look at A Dangerous Book for Boys a major bestseller in the UK written by two fathers who offer a wide array of activities for boys of all ages from coin tricks to go-cart building--activities designed to "cultivate curiousity" and healthy risk-taking. The authors also cover topics boys should know about such as the Battle of the Somme and Scott of the Antarctic. Authors have received emails from grateful readers age 7 to 87.
