Book Report

Just finished Anderson Cooper’s Dispatches From the Edge, and I have mixed feelings about it. No question, the man has seen horrors and tragedies around the world, including in our own backyard (NOLA). I’m sure that jacks up your head pretty bad. Add to that the fact that his father died unexpectedly when he was very young, and his brother committed suicide a few years later.

She won’t remember this day, but her daddy will forever.

The Great TP Party

Here are the images from the fateful day when Zoe discovered the wonders of the toilet paper roll. I have some wicked shadows on some these, the result of grabbing the Big Dog Nikon and running back to the bathroom and not bothering to affix the Big Dog Flash. Let that be a lesson to me!

Grouchy

I laid in bed tonight, not able to sleep at all, tossing and turning and getting more and more frustrated as the minutes ticked by, and then I realized…

Open season on screech owls

M and I went to the baseball game last night and had a blast. Especially because the Cardinals won, thanks in no small part to Scott Spiezio’s phenomenal pinch hitting. Go Spiez! The weather was gorgeous, we were both in a great mood…good Date Night.
