I'm such a disappointment to Kid #2

because I don't know everything. We were pretty certain that I did, but today I had no answer for her. That is, unless someone here can help me. So, what color is turtle throw up, anyway?

No Shame

At all

Another Buddy pic

This is a picture of Buddy back when he played football with ROF May.

Buon Compleanno

3 years old!

Sleeping Beauty

I dig going to the ballet. I love going to the ballet with Reanie. We went to see Sleeping Beauty on Saturday. one thing...Sleeping Beauty is a 3-hour ballet with four intermissions. Reanie hung tough, though, and we're looking forward to the Nutcracker coming up soon.

What we need here...

...are some chickens, our own goats, a couple pigs. Why? Because nobody I know misses training rides because of Brucellosis.

Sounds a little something like this.

Another State Champ in the Family

Troy's father passed away just one week ago. He and Roxanne are pregnant with their first child. And today he won the State Road race. We love you, brother!

more Noah

This is a video done up by Steve, who is the father of Austin and Hunter (the boy in white getting a medal), who are new teammates for next year. You can tell that Hunter is thinking "Good grief, I can't wait to get out of this age group" when Noah can't seem to dress himself. First Bonnie tries to help, then the boy, Connor, who came in second, finally helps Noah with something he should have sorted out in preschool. Good fun! (1 min, 9 sec)

In my belly

My wife is an excellent cook. She has a degree in food science, worked as a chef in some fine restaurants, trained as a chef in Italy, and even specialized in pastries for a spell. All that said, I still like fried Spam sandwiches, complete with mayonnaise on white bread. It isn't my first choice for sustenance, mind you, but I doubt I'd turn one down if offered.

This morning I took the POSS2 for donuts. Hadn't been there in some time. But seeing as Kid #1 and I are leaving for a bike race today, I wanted to give them a treat of sorts. Here's the thing, though...I didn't get a donut for myself. That ain't no baby step!

Of Moms and Leprechauns

This is a picture of the Church in Limerick where my step-Mother, Pat, was baptized. She and my Dad are in Ireland looking for information about her birth family. But I've also noticed that the price of Guinness has gone up here at home since they've been there.

Eller won't be a State RR this weekend

Lynna, Katie, and Randy are all doing well.
Eller is a Daddy. She is in very good hands.

7 1/4 lbs, which, I believe, is the same as a six pack.

I miss you

I miss the guy standing between the two dorkball players.
