Hole in the Wall
2011-10-22 03:21:00 And the green grass grew all around, all around…. No, that’s not how the song goes. There is a song. It’s been a while so I’m not really sure how it goes to tell the truth. I think it ends up something like — well, the feather on the wing and the wing on the ... More About: Wall
Rooms to Let
2011-10-20 02:58:00 I’ve been passing this sign for years and I’ve never had my camera. I happened by today with my camera. Snapped a few that didn’t really turn out the way I wanted but with a little cropping and some rotation and a little black and white and…. Well this is about as good as it’s ...

Take the Shot!
2011-10-17 03:15:00 Walter Ioos Jr. … Max Rossi … Neil Leifer … Charles M. Conlon … Erik Refner … All very famous sports photographers. Me? Not so much.

You CAN NOT Participate Without It!
2011-10-13 02:50:00 This is not a new rule, son. Fuck!!!! (That part was totally in my head, but he is more than aware that I’m not pleased with his forgetful ass.)

Band of Brothers
2011-10-09 02:20:00 Football Saturday with a twist today. Zane had a game this afternoon (not tomorrow as is the norm) so we all got to watch Zander’s game this morning.

Indian Summer
2011-10-07 23:54:00 The day’s to do list received not much more than a cursory glance. Oh I thought about it several times, if that counts for anything. Just didn’t expend very much effort attempting to tick off items. Days like this don’t come around very often. And when you’re surrounded by such awesome cuteness who gives a ...

Dogs and Cats Living Together….
2011-10-06 02:49:00 Rivers and seas boiling. Fire and brimstone. Mass hysteria. Real wrath of God type stuff! Zia: So what can we do?

Extraordinary
2011-10-03 04:51:00 Extraordinary is intangible. Extraordinary is selfless. Extraordinary does not ask why. Extraordinary does the right thing. Because it’s the right thing to do. Until today, I’d never witnessed extraordinary. It never happens, or rarely does, and when it did, I was never there. At least I never had been. Until today. I am humbled. Today ...

Keep it Close, Man
2011-09-26 01:20:00 I slipped the guy a ten and he changed it giving me the redemption ticket for my car. The valet could not have been more convenient — I suppose that’s kind of the point of a valet isn’t it? The little street was narrow and the curb service was literally steps in front of the ...

Hut!
2011-09-25 05:11:00 Leave it all on the field. (Just remember to save some of it until the game actually starts!) Zander’s very first flag football game was today.
