So as not to bore you (much) with vacation pics, while most of you were enjoying the sweet sounds of Phish, here’s a little of what we were doing at Disney and on the cruise…

Great googly moogly indeed!
I hope you brought Goofy hats for all of us here, Bill!
All right, here’s the cheese that I just posted to facebook. This is the pic that the Disney people take as you board the ship and Marie purchased special t-shirts for it, so I was obliged to comply. Of course we had to pay 20 bucks for a 8x10 copy of the thing.
So if I had to wear the shirt, and pay the money, by golly, you’re going to have to look at it.
Have I ever told you how much I have always disliked Mickey fricken Mouse?
Took off to San Diego for a much needed break, just before Thanksgiving I guess it was.
Here’s takeoff. Later on, RI.
Beer at the airport, sent this pic to my coworker, with whom I’d discussed the delights of the airport beer … note the writing moleskin, which I’m glad to say I used a whole lot that day. Got a lot of writing scraps pulled together and sorted, and wrote a couple new things as well.
Here are a few nice pictures from Morley Field, the disc golf course I try to live at whenever I’m in San Diego.
So here’s just a few more, this first one, is of the hottest wings I ever had in my entire life. The sauce’s name is “Ricockulous” … <- probably not spelled right. Took me like twenty minutes to eat just two of them. Took the rest back to my brother’s place, where I was able to eat two more … but I never did finish 'em all.
The Go Lounge, where my brother’s new and unnamed band played a set (that’s him in front there)
That’s Matt again, on the left, and yours for realz on the right. I’m sporting a SweetTooth T-shirt, which is Matt’s other band, kind of on a hiatus right now I suppose it is.
It’s the brutherz Kevin!
The light and color in this one make it so warm and inviting. I want to lie down and take a nap in that sunbeam out there in the grass.
Jake and I celebrating his first St Patty’s Day before I had too much Jameson.
Added another of Jake with one of the Easter outfits we gave him. He was pretty chill on Sunday at the brunch for almost two hours, just taking it all in. I guess if you can be satisfied with a tube of hand cream, you can be satisfied with most things.
So this weekend was Riley’s first taekwondo tournement. He won first place in Katas and second in sparring. Because his birthday was last month and he is so small they put him at 6-Blue belt. He was the only 6 year old blue belt…so he won first for katas (he DID stick it and would have won anyway). I know…I know.
So now I’m like “Who does he get to fight?” I’m not about to let him take a first for sparring because there are no other 6 blue belts. I was trying to get them to let Riley fight in the 7-8 division (which he truly is). They are talking about liability…blah blah blah. LONG story short…I get them to let Riley fight in 7-8 Green-Blue (which he is by 3 weeks…but now fighting kids almost 9). At this point I am thinking maybe I fucked up and he will get his ass kicked pretty bad. Riley went on to the finals and lost by one point (to a kid almost 9)! He took second place! Holy shit proud dad moment! 
Trying to upload the fights…(might be too long). The kids kept getting bigger with each fight.
Grats to Riley! He’s gonna be a weapon some day!
I always liked Kata better than Kumite (sparring) anyways. But that’s just my personal preference of not wanting to get punched in the face.
Nice work Riley! He is a little ninja
I was gonna say Kumite…but was not sure how many people would know what it is. Still trying to get these fighting videos up.
How could he not put on a great show in NY? Maybe I’ll try again to get tix.
Wish I could get you all here with me for a time…
Beauty!
I can see where you’d have lots of mosquitos, but that looks like a yard I could hang in day and night.
Bill, I want to play wiffle ball in your yard.
I call DH!!!
I’ll bring the keg and keep it flowing!
^picture of my bass. I took it out last night cuz I realized the case was stored upside down. I suspect my kid(s) busted it out when I wasn’t around. Or I was real drunk last time I bassed.
And a blurry shot of the headstock
