It's a bird, it's a plane...nah, it's just David

My friend Tim Stout shot this video of David for his church. Wind provided by two fans and a helpful big sister.

Vacation is So Over!

Back to the drawing board. With all the uncertainties of camping, it was nice to return to something certain - due dates.

Turning 10

Q: What's better than turning 10?
A: Turning 10 in Murdo, South Dakota! Doesn't get any sweeter. We just returned from a week of camping in the Black Hills and boy was it fun. But we left with a 9 year old and returned with a 10 year old. Coincidentally, near Murdo is also where the time shifts back by one hour if one is due west.

Gripp Trip

Just returned from a great trip out to Santa Barbara with the lovely and talented Bev Carlson to see our new best friend, Parry Gripp (founder of the Nerf Herders and creator of the totally awesome album "For Those About to Shop, We Salute You") He and his wife make for gracious hosts and Bev and I are furiously calculating when and how we can fanagle another trip.

Castle

Looks like a fun place to live. Kids?

Relatives

Cousin Earnie's in town for the RV show and he's staying with us. Funny, seeing as he's got a humongo motorhome parked outside.
