Dinner time …

Captain Dan filets the mackerel we caught during a fishing trip to Tampa Bay recently. Wes, Rusty and I chartered a boat out of St. Pete, and Captain Dan treated us to a great trip. In addition to the mackerel, we caught a bunch of grouper that were too small to keep but still were fun to reel in. It also was great to spend a day out on the water. Nothing does a better job of clearing your head …

We cooked the mackerel for dinner that night, preparing them several different ways. And Wes created a gumbo that was a work of art.

The return of LBJ …

I moved the LBJ collection to my Flickr account this weekend, including a lot of new shots that I’d been waiting to add. It’s all there now, in its unmitigated Great Society glory. There are now 185 LBJ photos in the collection, ranging from Knoxvegas to Estonia to Mexico. The little feller gets around.

In this photo, LBJ meets Heavy Metal Vance during joanne’s annual Pennsyltucky pickin’ party. Vance vance vance. You just gotta give him a chance.

Too bad LBJ’s proud poppa, Dave, was AWOL. The little president wet his whistle with a bit of Absinthe and things got surreal.

Lara and I celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary in our favorite, city, Denver. This shot was taken from the Rocky Mountain News’ new building, which Moose was kind enough to give us a tour of. We went to Red Rocks, a clam bake and generally had a great time.
