Another Thing I Did This Summer!

En route back from New England, a side-trip to Niagara Falls. Man, it's wet!

What I Did on My Summer Vacation

This photo came during a visit to The Scottish Home picnic in North Riverside, Illinois. Click on the picture to get a closer look.

Nothing like teaching your children the good values of competition! Note Zachary and Maggie Rose to my immediate left. We're all looking toward the man who was crowned champion of the banana cream pie-eating contest.

I was runner-up. Wait till next year!

Helicopter Debut

From the random photos file....

My one time in a helicopter, thus far: December 2000, on the island of Kauai, Hawaii. Tip: never eat licorice and apples, then take notes, while in a chopper. Tip II: if you ignore Tip I, then be sure to have a barf bag handy.
