as with most aspects of my life, blogging has taken a “pending” status. however, among the many “yet to be posted”, a true gem has emerged…
this past saturday was ryan’s 22nd birthday. much more on that to come but while i continue to rack my brain for ways to avoid work, here’s a great shot of max telling me about… something.
here’s to a hectic summer!
*WARNING : serious old man alert*
last night, nellie and i enjoyed what can only be described as the perfect game of scrabble. it was flawless from start to finish with words stretching to every corner.
“why are you blogging this?” you might ask. well, i’m glad you asked! last night, i accomplished my life-long scrabble dream of dropping all 7 letters in 1 turn. yes, that is correct! i got the triple word-score AND the 50 point bonus for a total of 83 points. of course, in the time it took me to to get all those pieces, nellie gave me quite a chumpitizing.
i guess being “diligent” didn’t pay off this time…
last week i had a really fun shoot at the del mar san diego county fair. all that is still in the works, but enjoy a few pics of some gnarly carnis ;)
i’m not sure if dad just wanted to make things difficult on himself but the two countries that we rented cars in where among the 4 that actually drive on the left side of the road. of course, we found it just slightly ironic that we got lost by the driving test centre.
eye-rland
this place was the sweetest cafe i’ve ever seen.
ok, this one’s preeeetty good…
oh o’neill’s! i shall never forget thine buttery guiness!
it was a VERY windy day as we drove around ireland.
soooo zen.
we cracked up when ryan bought this. yes, it is a bear-giraffe.
fun!
london baby! home of the the eye.
one tourist thing that i totally recommend checking out is the tower of london. terribly impressive!
this is paul sebastian. we ran into him coming up from the tube. the beauty and heart of his music are beyond words. we watched him play for about a half hour before making our way to the next stop.
and he didn’t appreciate me taking pictures of him.
hello oxford!
one last note… for three days we carted around eight people and their luggage in a car designed for 5.
well for now, that’s pretty much it. we had a great time, thanks for tuning in!
stay close, stay alive!
enjoy your independence ;)
more lounging around in switzerland…
nellie and i decided to grab some fondue when a drumline paraded it’s way down the street. “why” you might ask… well, because it’s sunday ( of course. )
so, the euro cup ‘08 is kinda a big deal. such a big deal that when we got to the zurich train station we were greeted by a massive replica of a team huddle…
just how big you ask…
this pictures needs no explanation but that are now in france.
my beautiful bride…
our fearless leader
that ryan’s sooooo hot right now…
notre dame’s buttress is better than your buttress
