What did I want to do for my birthday? Go to the freakin' zoo, of course. What we see here are my dad, brother, grandmother and mother, waiting in line at the entry gate.

The whole family's here. It's fun. Blake's especially excited.

My mother and grandmother, here pictured, find the white-handed gibbons quite facinating.

Blake and I are really great ladybugs.

A meerkat. Delightful little critter.

My grandma and my dad love chatting near the tiger cage.

Grandmother, mother. Ya know.

This is my grandma punching Blake in the face.

Anna, Alina and Brent on the "Easy Way Down" in Red River. Spring Break '05 baby.

Here's everyone (well, not everyone) eating some lunch in the cafeteria.

If there are two things in life Ken likes to do, they're (A) sticking whole pieces of fruit in his mouth and (B) sticking straws behind his right ear. His right, your left.

Brent was angry because the cafeteria was out of lollipops.

Alina just had to make a face. I did not prompt this. At all.

Renee and Anna had no trouble getting off the lift.

Renee thinks I'm a friggin' madman. Which is probably true, because you can se me in her right eye. Her left, your right.

Brent just loves to make crazy faces. 'Cause he's a crazy guy.

On the bus ... before "it" happened.

Jason is distraught.

Jason and Christy survey the damage - which was pretty bad. The bus is stuck in the mud, between a gate and a cattleguard.

The sheriff of Raton, NM kept us company and brought us pizza in his "cruiser."

Jason is excited, because he's like that.

The Krause ladies.

Jason and I are exchanging artwork.

Mark.

Alex has something on his head. He's from Wimberley.

A creepy tree in front of Tidwell Bible Building on campus. I love it, so I took a picture - as I tend to do.

More creepy tree ...

So Friday night, Marshall and I played in Lubbock at this place called "Sugar Brown's," which was pretty sweet. So here's Marshall doin' his thang.

Pretty wild, but you like it. You know you do.

Dig it ...

Mmmm hmmmm ...

Oh yeah...

Kelly's eating a b-b-q sandwich from Ray's Grocery Store in Breckenridge, TX.

And here's Marshall.

Lunch. Saturday.

Chillin' outside Ray's...

We stopped here - both going and coming.

I live here.

What I do all day?
