If you were a Super Hero… you’d have some choices to make, initially.  There are really just seven main categories when it comes to being a Super.

1. Power.  2. Weakness. 3. Color.  4. Mask.  5. Cape.  6. Villian.  7. Name.

First, your power, or strength.  I would probably be either phenomenally strong, OR, more likely, I would teleport.  I think that would come in the handiest.

Next the ‘Hitch in your Giddy Up”.  What’s your weakness?  I have 3 big ones in real life…. so I’d choose one of those to keep it real.  My biggest one, I won’t mention right here.  My friends and family know this one.  Of the next two, I would either pick…… SUGAR (I haven’t eaten sweets since I was about 16 years old…) OR  the COLD…..  I hate the cold.  Love the heat.  97 degrees here today.  Primo.  Super.

The next three items on the could be lumped into one category:  Attire.  But all three are important and separate.  What color would you wear?  By golly, if you pick purple or pink, you better come up with some kick-ass name for yourself.   What kind of mask do you wear?  Full head gear like Spider Man; semi-head cover like Batman or Captain America;  simple mask like the Green Lantern, or Robin; no mask at all, like Superman, or Aquaman?  …. AND THEN….. the critical Cape or No Cape decision.

Lastly, the final two choices..… who’s your Villian?  And what is your Super Name?

I would be Captain ThemoSpeed….. my weakness would be cold temperatures.  Villian… that’s easy.  Mr. Freeze.  My strength (besides being extremely warm and having a Type AAA-Speedy Personality)….. I would be able to Teleport at will.  Anywhere, and to any time.

My outfit would rock.  It would be orange, with bright yellows and reds and black.  No dang cape.  Simple face mask… black.  I would be buff too.

So think about it…  do a few pushups or something…. and good luck with all these important choices.

Because the truth of the matter is… many of you who read this are my dear friends and family.  And… at many, many times in my life… YOU have been a Super Hero to me.  Seriously.  The way you can leap tall buildings and such….  So thanks for all those times, Super Heroes.   It has meant the world to me.

Hey, I gotta’ go… the Commissioner is on the Thermo-Phone.  There seems to be some trouble in Gothamopolis.  Probably just some Joker…..
