Montrose Beach

Just another day at the beach. I love this one... Pretty proud of this photo.

Never Too Young to Work

Just another day watering your troubles away. In a moment of genius, Dad figured a way to begin sharing the yard duties. Granted he's starting with my favorite job, but it's at least something. Next stop, the litter boxes... (please note the camoflague and plaid trend he's starting.)

Red Wings!

This was my house tonight. Finally, I can rest.

I Heart Goats

If there is one gem that jackson *taught* Otto before he passed, it was to love animals. The only thing Otto could think to do while posing with the goat, was to show the same love that he gave jackson (probably more often than jackson would've prefered.) As you can see, a side of the haed to the belly is how this is expressed, regardless of species... There was a series of "awwws" behind the camera from other zoogoers during the capture of these digital bits.

Mount Whitney - Memorial Day Weekend '08

Here's the pictures from my trip over Memorial Day weekend. We started in Lone Pine, at the base of Mount Whitney in the Sierra Nevada range. We had a great time, even though the weather got a bit scary for us urban dwellers that aren't used snow AND mountains. It was a total whiteout near the 2nd camp, so we left the next day and went through Death Valley, Barstow (can you say Crystal Meth?), and then Joshua Tree National Park. We ended our trip with a visit to my college roommate in LA and cheered on game #2 Red Wings victory of the Pens. All in all a successful trip.

Stanley Cup Finals!!!

Last night couldn't have gone much better. Home-made mexican food for dinner. Dad and Otto watched The Wings dominate the Stars once again. And somewhere during the first period Mom crept off and made chocolate chip cookies. It was like a birthday... Next stop, Stanley Cup Finals. I've even watched a few Penguins games in anticipation of finding a few players to replace the Forsberg/Lemieux hate of years past. Go Wings!

What a nut!

This Blaine character...

Warm, but not that warm yet...

Someone still thinks he's in Sanibel. We were watering some plants on Sunday, and Otto thought it was the shower, his favorite place on earth. In an unplanned soaking, he later learned it's not quite summer yet.
