Hiram Tame Photo Shoot...I mean Nora's Photo Shoot

I took some pictures the other day of my brother's family. Nora is so cute that 90% of the shots were of her. I love the one where it looks like Nora is praying (the second one)

Google Searching Has Done Me Well Once Again

In my eternal quest for random Google searched knowledge I stumbled on what I think might be the ugliest baby ever. If anyone can find me a picture of an uglier baby please leave the link in my comments.



He is 18.8 kg (41 pounds) despite being only 8 months old.

YouTube Videos I Like

These are some of my recent favorite YouTube videos... also there are a few of my all time favorites. I have a huge list of my all time favorites however it is hard to consolidate to just a few. So, I'm just posting these...Anyways, I'm looking to increase my list so if anyone has any other good YouTube videos they want to share with me I'm always looking for new ones. Just post them in the comments and I will take a look at them.

Oh Captain My Captain

There are a so many reasons I love the Northwest and so little time and space to list them all. As I was in Washington this weekend I had a chance to go sailing. I had never been on a sail boat before and found that I was just like a little boy asking his Dad what made the car engine run. The owner of the boat enjoyed my enthusiasm and quickly filled me in on his 40 years of sailing knowledge. I was like a sponge absorbing every word he spoke. He taught me how to crank up the sails, how to steer the boat, how to tack, how to identify and name parts of the boat, and how to relax and enjoy the wind in your face as the boat cuts smoothly through the water.



I'm not sure I am ready to man my own sail boat, but over all the experience was exciting.



Its funny how you can do something and then become so excited about it that you want to abandon all the things you normally do and go do that one thing. This is how I felt about sailing. Its strange that as an adult I find myself falling into my same childhood traps. As a kid, I frequently would get excited about something and want to do that one thing forever. One time, I watched the movie "Three Ninjas" and for about two months after that I was positive that Ninja would be my future career. I also did the same thing with hockey (Mighty Ducks). And also with flying (Top Gun). I can't even recall the amount of times I wanted to be a Ninja Turtle, even though I knew turtle was out of the question...Its not that I gave up on my temporary dreams but its that the excitement faded. Over time, only a few of these obsessions have I really stuck out till the end. (Snowboarding, Music, Etc.) Looking back, I know that my greatest memories in life have come from these crazy obsessions.



Anyways, Sailing in Washington made me realize two things. One, I love the beautiful scenery. And two, don't give up so easily...sailing might be my next long lasting obsession.
