WAY TO GO WILLIE!!

My Dad is the coolest.

Remember Jack La Lanne? The great health and fitness guru? The God Father of fitness? If you don’t, you’re probably a little on the younger side, and that’s too bad. Because man, there was no better ambassador, nor done more for the ‘lifestyle of health’ than good ol’ Jack La Lanne.

Anyway, Jack’s birthday was last weekend and they held a GIANT party for him at Muscle Beach in Venice, California. Well, guess what (or who) was presented to Jack for his birthday? That’s right baby…

My Dad.

I’ll not go on and on about what an honor it is to be invited to do such a thing. But if you’re going to present a gift to a ‘legend’, then it had better be ‘legendary’. And in the world of natural body building (no drugs baby) I am incredibly proud to say that my father happens to be that very thing.

That said, forgive the shameless (but oh so proud) plug.

Check it out.

From the very beginning of it all, my dad was there. If you recall a little film that started quite the craze, Muscle Beach Party (with Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello) then you may just recognize my dad as one of the beef cakes strutting the beach. In fact, if you see the album cover to the film, you will find my father holding Annette up on his shoulders along with Peter Lupus (Mission Impossible).

Anyway. Proud of you dad. Awesome job.
