Well it’s now day 2 of the bachelorhood…and I’m still alive!  Actually that shouldn’t come as a surprise.  I live as a bachelor for awhile.  And looking back on it…what a pathetic life it was.  Honestly I’ve been freaking bored out of my head!!
I’ve managed to watch 2 movies in 2 nights and will possibly [...]

We made it back into town around 1pm today which was nice considering the last time we did this trip we didn’t get back into town until around 4 or 5pm.
Yesterday morning we took off earlier than we had planned so we made it into town before our motel room was ready, but they were [...]

Yesterday the old man (my dad!) and I went off on a small photography trip. He had a couple of places marked that he wanted to see, and since I took the day off, I was more than willing to chauffer him around for a while.
Our first stop was  Wildcat Den State Park, which is [...]

As I mentioned before, my dad arrived on Friday night.  He’s on a cross country, or at least to the middle of the country, photography trip.  Yesterday morning we made it down to a place called Credit Island (I’ve posted some pictures from there).  He was able to get his bazooka (for the photography inclined…a [...]
