Christy’s attempt to get me to stop taking her picture here actually caused a really cool shot!  Well at least I think so.

Nine Toes?

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 […]

New Discovery: Beer Can Chicken

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.
