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. He [...]
Nine Toes?
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008
A few weeks back my mom brought over a box of pictures and artwork from when I was young so that I could go through them and keep what I wanted. In that box was my orginal birth certificate. I hadn’t seen this thing in years! I looked at the back of it and there [...]
New Discovery: Beer Can Chicken
Monday, May 26th, 2008
Over the years I have become more and more interested in backyard grilling. I’ve tried numerous things, but what I discovered this weekend is the best grilling discovery I have made up until now. Three words; Beer Can Chicken. I heard about it a while go and have been wanting to try it ever since. [...]
Qatar Bound…Not me, my sister!
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008As 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 [...]
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
Thursday, April 3rd, 2008Happy 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 [...]
Family Portrait
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008
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!
Callie

Here’s a picture of my sister Callie. She was volunteering for a movement that is important to her called the Invisible Children when a photographer from Anthropologie came up to her and asked her if they could photograph her. Here’s what they shot. If you’d like to read their blog entry and see the other [...]
Happy Birthday, Shelby!

Meet Shelby, one of my younger sisters…and arguably the most creative of all of us! Shelby is quite the artist. Her focus is fashion and costume design and soon (next year) will be graduating from VCU with a degree in design! Shelby started her “career” in costume making probably around 12 years old when she [...]
Keb’ Mo’, The Sandler Center
Thursday, February 21st, 2008
For my father’s birthday, back in November, I got him tickets to see one of his favorite blues musicians (and mine too!), Keb’ Mo’. Last night was the show and it was nothing short of impressive. The guy’s voice is rough (in a great Bluesy way) and his guitar playing is impeccable. I just love [...]
