Hangin with my Homie

Colors.

Flarida

I'm not quite sure where Flarida is, but you could definitely get a good deal on a Flarida cap in Florida.

Storytime

The statistics are in... one out of two kids enjoy my reading.

La Tortuga

While Jim charms the stingrays, Carol bonds with the newly hatched sea turtles.

Swimming with the Fishes

I got a little caught up in Aquariumania!

Manatee Whisperer

Not only does Jim possess the uncanny ability to lure caged stingrays right to his hand, he seems to have a special connection with the manatees. Florida's turned him into a regular flannel clad Aquaman!

Sting Ray Slayer

Look at the way Jim lures the unsuspecting sting rays with his bare hand! Fearless!


Oh, and it looks like he got one!

Spring Break 2009

Daytona Beach Spring Break 2009 pre-party.

The Wovel

My infatuation with the Wovel has come to an end. While the mechanical principles of the wheel, wedge, and lever are tried and true, I remained a bit skeptical about this contraption and ended up not buying one. With the money saved I bought two other shovels and still had money left over. Perhaps I should have bought a third shovel now that I have a garage to store them in.?.?

Pie

These pictures are for Ben. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm pie.

White Rim

My neighbor just put together some panoramic shots from our White Rim bike trip. Gorgeous! A stark contrast to all the snow we have right now.

Moss Moss, Everywhere Moss

It's definitely moss season up in the Portland area. Everywhere you look, moss is taking over. Even the poo around here grows moss!

McGriddle

Goodbye McDonald's McGriddle, hello Voodoo Doughnut's bacon maple bar. Thank you Voodoo Doughnuts.

St. Nick

Oh look at all those presents Saint Nick brought. I knew I was good, but not that good!

Glass Tree

I was thinking of purchasing a glass tree this year, until I heard the bidding started at $26,000. I've started saving for next year.

Mini Ramp, Mega Fun
