You're kidding me

Returning Champs

Now that the NFL has their act together, it's time to get football season started!

Clown Cabinets

This all came from one closet and one kitchen cabinet.

Black Thumb

So apparently Jess and I share an ability to kill plants in short order.  We didn't even get to eat any of this basil before it was dead and gone.

Meet the Parents

Still slightly drugged up, but well enough to eat BBQ with Jess's parents who were in town visiting.  

Editor's Note

So I'm posting all the pictures I could find on my various cameras, iPods, phones, web albums, etc.  I am probably missing a couple that I'll add in the next couple of days, but I know I've been slacking and just missed some days, too.  I'll try to do better in the coming weeks!

Better living ...

Let's hear it for drugs!

Rations

Mom really didn't want me to go hungry.

Done and done

Glad that's over.

Fueling Up

Pre-surgery dinner at La Fonda at the end of an exciting day that included a phone interview on four hour notice and Mom coming into town.

Also, wedding invitation #5

Priorities

Post-vacation to-do list #1

Welcome home

Well, we're not in California anymore -- 86 degrees at 10:40 PM when we landed.

7/12-7/17

California trip -- pictures coming as soon as I wade through 300+ pics

About time

Wedding invite #4 -- glad that Jared finally got around to making this one happen.

Ding Dongs

When you get a craving, you get a craving

A new chapter

It can't be as good as his music, but I'm still hoping it's pretty good.

"You're a handsome devil"

Dobrasz's latest work -- he says I look like a hitman.

It's no Wonder Years

... but it'll do until Netflix gets their act together.

A favorite

It's not top-5 all-time, maybe not even top-10, but I can't imagine not having this album.  Especially for leisurely breakfast music.

Jimmy James!

This email made my day!  Kinda late notice, but great news that James will be in CA for Marcus's wedding.

America

Rockies at Braves for the 4th, with Ubaldo on the mound!

And compared to the rest of Atlanta we missed most of the rain and saw a great fireworks show.

Expo time

I don't really like crowds, but being at the Peachtree Expo is a lot of fun every year.

Back to Nike

Thanks, Nike, for finally making another soft, bouncy shoe.  It's no Skylon, but it'll do

The Wire

They're not joking about "Listen Carefully," I had to watch the first episode twice to figure out what the heck was going on.
