Fun Saturday morning
Penny in her winter hat playing scrabble with neily and me. Neil manages to smile even though he is suffering through some serious pwnership.
Apple orchards don't usually have goats
Stop what you are doing and go buy a tandem bike
Jen and I on the bike. Also prominently featured in this photo: my neighbor Ernie's arm. He was riding on the front handlebars, documenting the entire event for posterity.
Also, a video. It appears as though I am biking drunk here. Cars.
Family dinner, two guys in pink (and neither one is me!)
Then here are the girls, Jen, mom, grandma and Ashley.
Let's get a group shot! Violet and Penny jump in.
I'm a lucky guy.
Homewood Farmer's Market
Seriously delicious cookies and brownies. Highlights include peanut butter toffee and oddly, chocolate chip. A bit on the spendy side for cookies, but worth it. David and Tracy are pictured.
Ey coffee
Great, local alternative to my favorite, starbucks.
Vio and Penny and our bikes
Don't be an ass and drive to the farmer's market. How far is it really from your place.
Space walk
Justin, my brother, was walking by the house today with his boys, Max and Jake (front).
They asked him to take them on a "space walk." So off they went.
Proud of myself for snagging those helmets for the dudes' second birthday.
That is one of the main jobs of an uncle or aunt: super cool birthday presents.
BBQs are for people who are interested in eating meat
So then we headed over to my parents for yet more meats. The whole posse was there and wouldn't you know it, the kids and I broke off a pretty serious train ride. Admit it, you wish you were the caboose.
I think I could get used to BBQs every weekend.
My grandpa and I have the same tailor

Dude's got solid taste.

Photo shoot at US Dept of Energy at Argonne Natl Labs
Had the opportunity to art direct a great photog as he shot my father for a patient testimonial we are putting together for one of my hospital clients.
Outside building 201, where my father works. That's him in the center of the shot facing us, rocking the tie.
This building was likely very modern 15-20 years ago. Large pond with water lillies is still cool.
Flags from the native countries of each of the scores of researchers at the US Department of Energy, where my father works.
My dad intoduced me to at least 15 people. I tried to tell each one a different joke. While I was unsuccesful, he was still proud, which was really cool.
His office looks messy here, but he had actually just cleaned it. Dan Dry is the photog. Cool site at dandry.com.
This is not the set up we will use for the piece, but I included it anyhow. Dude is rocking cacti.
Big government at work:
I am a lucky guy. I love my job and I love my dad, and got to enjoy them both in one day.
