SUMMER!!!

so why a beer so early?  why the douchebag photo of beer?  cause it is a weird tradition i have gotten into when i have my last day of work for the year:

drive home, shower, have a beer.

i wanted to take a better picture of the kids working hard or me grading but i didn't so the stupid beer photo is all you get.

my summer vacation has begun. i don't know what percentage of the working world is teachers but around this time we are all a whole a lot happier.  

i want to try and do just little more this summer than usual...

skate (always do)

read (never enough)

ride my bike (last year it got stolen 2 weeks into the summer)

yoga (never gone, need to go, this body ain't holdin up like it used to)

update this thing (daily? probably not...)

travel (usually do, we'll see what happens)

In the begining...

so the picture above and above above: todd and i went on a nice little trip around the midwest, actually we've been on several, and something i like is a packed car, a good friend(s) and skateboarding. we skated, laughed, sweated, camped, drove, bathed in bathrooms, went to a waterpark instead of a skatepark and loved it all.
