early fireworks?

noo... just sunbursts...

as the sun hides away

which will be done first?

the soccer game or the IKEA sofa assembly?

new sofa's coming tomorrow

which is a good thing because the living room looks pretty bare without it.

hands down... coolest looking strawberry of the season

BUTTERFLY!

dad thoughts on father's day

stronger days.

younger.

so much younger i didn't even know you, then.

idealistic. 

hoping to head overseas,

landing stateside...

permanently.

you'd learned too much.

too much??!

knowledge is power, isn't it?

especially when it's top secret. 

lessons you taught before you even knew

of the children who'd learn them.

you said,

"learn as much as you can,

you have no idea how far it may take you,

so always be prepared to learn some more."

be strong knowing

that the children you taught 

have been learning

and growing

and can be your strength

should you need something to lean on.

the office...

nice view, but i still prefer our NE Minneapolis "dive"

if you like hard boiled eggs...

and if you have some cholula sauce lying around, put those mofos together for a tasty eggtastic snack.
