    This weekend was full of inanities and insanities, as usual. Two of Reagan’s good friends from high school came to visit, beginning Thursday. One of them became very ill on Friday and headed home to DC. Reagan’s not-sick friend hung out with us until Saturday afternoon. Friday night, Reagan and Terrah (Reagan’s not-sick friend) came…

    Today started off great. The sun was shining through the curtains, when I woke up. The birds were chirping, etc. I went down to CP to shoot this race before church, and got an email, while I was there, that some stuff was going to be happening at work today. The race was awesome. I…

    This weekend ended up being a lot better than I had initially anticipated. There was, of course the race on Saturday morning, which I was expecting to be the highlight of my weekend.

    Ok, yes, this picture is exactly what it looks like: A ton of blurry little baby fish swimming around one of their proud new parents. It is getting a little out of control. I mean, I know it is spring and everything, but for these guys to spawn twice in  2 months seems to be…

    I have read in a few places that this spring has been an especially bad one for allergy sufferers, because of the abnormally high amount of pollen in the air. Little did I know, some of our own household is contributing to the problem. This plant of ours, that lives in our home office has…

    During my copious hours of down time, last week, I watched an inordinate amount of FuelTV. I really enjoyed all of the Skateboard and Snowboard segments. I changed the channel for the bmx segments. But for some reason, the surfing segments are so infectious to me. I especially love surf films. I capped the weekend…
