For my wife....

My wife is obsessed with Tetris so I am posting this XKCD cartoon for her. Pretty darn funny.

Lake Martin on a Sunday Afternoon

Jozy, my wife and I went out to Lake Martin this afternoon to enjoy a bit of the local scenery. The rookery there is in full swing with hundreds if not thousands of birds nesting. Jozy was all over the place and had no fear of jumping in the water...although we didn't let her stay in long for fear of a gator deciding that she looked a little too tasty.

Jozy and I hunted for some of those gators but couldn't find any that were willing to play with us.


After hunting, the ladies relaxed for a it.

Here is a slideshow of some of the other pictures we took out at the lake. Check it out to see some cool shots of the lake, birds, and a few funny portraits...

Shuffleboard & Bread Pudding

My awesome wife has made homemade bread pudding twice over the last 2.5 weeks and it has tasted awesome. Here is a picture of her chilling on the cruise playing shuffleboard.

These two things have nothing to do with each other.

The Black Keys - Tighten Up

New song by The Black Keys called Tighten Up - yeah, the puppet is kinda weird but I like this video. The song itself is groovy. Try it out and try to deny it.

Here is a little promo for their new album called Brothers. Looks like a cool live show.

Jónsi - Go Do

I'm a big fan of the Icelandic band Sigur Rós, so when I found the new solo release by their lead singer Jónsi I was pretty pumped. When the drum hit me 17 seconds in I snapped to attention and knew I had to share.

Leave It

One of Jozy's cooler tricks these days is when she balances a treat on her nose and waits for the "Take it" command to try to flick it up in the air and catch it. She normally misses and just picks it up from the ground. Maybe one day she will have the move down from front to back. The "Leave it" part is cool enough for me. The photo above was taken last weekend as we were enjoying some play time in the back yard and right after she had gone swimming.

Check out the determination in her eyes as she waits for the "take it" moment.
