080608 - Up at out to the barn. The boys found a new bunch of kitten and were rounding them up. Grant & Dusty were kissing. Stopped in @ the farm house before I sent the kids into the woods. Katie & Jake Loughman showed up and the expedition began. This is the last photo of all 4 children for record, just in case the search parties need to know what they were wearing...
I sit here in this wood listening to the laughing brook rushing by. In here time seems to stand still and the countless days I spent in here exploring, building dams and playing seem like only yesterday to this place. But today a new generation are the explorers as I try to capture a piece of the past.

080602 - As if it is not bad enough I'm leaving L sick @ home with the monkeys... I get to the airport and have to park farther away then I ever had, those fancy little moving walkways are all broken so I'm suddenly in a friggin marathon.. Get up to the gaurd through my first class short line @ security and NO FRIGGIN TICKET! IT'S STILL IN THE CAR!!!! So I walk all the way back to the car, with my luguage, and back. As I'm going through security I take my shoes off and notice I have on my old cruddy Cons, NOT THE BRAND NEW ONES!!! Make it through security with minimal probing, get a double espresso, sit down to wait and boad and crack my friggin head so hard on the beam behind my chair, that everyone in 50 yards spins there head to see what exploded...
