Another Big Sunday

Austin set off at 6am for more Colorado River fishing with some dudes from work. He'd be able to better caption these obviously, but he left this post unfinished this morning as he left for Daytona for the week. Too bad grandmas. I can say that he claims to have chopped that snake in half with his oar, and the guy in the last one is Peter Perakos.


Meanwhile, Jane and I hosted Trey and the lovely Laura + Newman household for breakfast. Wish TB would come to town more often!


Austin modeled his fishing outfit for us when he got home, just in time for porch beers/milk.


Jane. Just being cute, even with fat lip sustained during daddy/daughter trip to REI and Sportsman's Finest for fishing supplies Saturday. She seems to be recovering nicely.




Finally, performance on demand:

Expecting a productive week with a clean house. Miss you babe!

The McKennas are back from DC, quick trip for Cousin Lissy's big day. Jane was a flower girl, performed ably, right til she saw me in the aisle up front and then switched gears on us. Enough of the idea was realized we think.

You can't coach passion man.

You can't do much to contain it either.

You can, however, operate with chocolate bribes.

We managed the Museum of Natural History day of. Thought the dinosaurs would make an impression, but the idea of skeletons is lost on old meat and bones. She did take notice of the witch doctor, which I missed, but was reminded of broken record on the way home. There were monkeys, always a party.



Forgot the camera, so we just have this iPhone business, apologies. Making of a princess, Kabuki style.



Best we could manage when the camera did come out.



The happy couple, recepting.



Seconds from a full Cinderella moment, under supervision from MM.




Surprises at the kids table. Jane went straight for the rubber bracelets, apparently those are a thing now.



Tuckered, tucked.



Saturday, we managed a visit to the Edwards place, these animals ate a pound of bacon three ways.



Back Sunday to work an event. What's perfect about this picture? Hint: free BBQ



And capped by a secret dinner event at the Hotel Saint Cecilia. Pretty posh, of course, 7 courses of gulf seafood made for hives and faces from pops, but admittedly, I'm coming around. Great date night with the handsome wife.





Busy week. Looking good to post W2 in my fantasy football league. Fantasy Soccer - whole 'nother story - new lows recorded in the game I practically invented.

Tennis Handsome / Shuttlecock Crazy

Jane is into Lady Gaga now. She's also determined pickles are curious, red shoes are for little boys and elephants are her favorite animals. This list will be valid til she gets up in the morning.

She is, however, trending Beaver:



Had the neighbors over for Brats and stuff Saturday night. Jane got hopped on pears and ginger snaps and threw a tea party around 8:30PM.




We got a bike seat for my steed. Jane just barks orders from the back and insists on pull overs the whole time.




When we got home, she ran for it.



Pooped, literally. She created a triage nap area of her own accord.



It rained 12" here this last week, no fishing. Off to DC next weekend for wedding hijinks. And oh, the rats ate my golfbag.

Don't get the mummy drunk, cause when the mummy gets drunk he unravels!


Pool Party!




This is a rotten picture, but Janebug got furniture. This went straight to her room for inspection and book reading.



Yo Gabba Gabba party at Charles'.






And then, the good stuff. Floated the East Colorado this morning, 5:10AM wheels up. Epic results. There are Osprey, Blue Heron, huge snakes, wasps, Spotted Gar and sleeping bags in those water. I only took pics of fish.



My first spotted bass.



TC absolutely killed it. This thing was a rod bender.



The Perakos minnow.



My best one.



The dawn buster.




Got one on conventional.




Good Labor Day.
