Family

Shane and Jordan

My youngest sister, Callie, took a photography class at school and has since fallen in love with the medium.  Its all film based and all processed by her in the darkroom.
This was one of my favorites of the images that she mailed to me.  I love the composition and the lighting.  The rest of […]

Blue In The Face!

My dad’s band is playing this weekend in Newport News.  If any of you are in the area, you should check them out!  They are really a great band.  And on top of that, the bar has a gazillion types of beer there!
Here’s their website…you can get a feel for what type of music […]

Class of 2008

Christy’s daughter, Lindsey graduated from Kempsville High School this weekend.  She was the third from the last person to graduate.  I know how she feels though.  I was 5th from the end I think when I graduated years ago.  Sucks to be a W.
Lindsey starts Tidewater Community College in the Fall.  Good stuff.
Congratulations Lindsey…I […]

Yes it’s in my garage. No it’s not mine.

My Uncle that lives in California has a house in Charlottesville near my grandparents’ farm and he keeps this car there for when he comes to visit 4 or 5 times a year.  Its a replica of a 1954 Porsche 550 Spyder.  The engine in this one is from a 2.2 liter Subaru WRX.  […]

Three words; Beer Can Chicken.
I heard about it a while go and have been wanting to try it ever since.  Several […]

Qatar Bound…Not me, my sister!

As some of you may know, my sister is a fashion design student (and a damn fine one too) at VCU in Richmond, VA.  Today I got a call from her saying that she and her design partner had won a design contest.
From her blog:
May 5th I’ll be going to Qatar for a week.  […]

Happy Birthday Mom

You are my hero…no matter how much you bug me.  ;)  You have taught me many things and helped to make me a good person.  Thanks for always flooding me with positive energy even though I am mostly cynical.  I love you.

Email from my Dad, Father, Parent

Happy Birthday Nick!!
I suppose everyone gets introspective during their birthday but those involved in that birth do the same thing.  I remember so many moments about the day you were born and the days since.  Your birth made me a dad, father and parent all at the same time.  It was years later before I […]

Family Portrait

Here’s a nice picture of my mother and I from a couple of years ago.  No we weren’t in a terrorist training camp…we were working on the remodel of her house.  Using a power painter is a lot of fun by the way!
