a foggy morning magical walk
can often put things in perspective
for me and starts the day off right,
however,
lately it seems i just need to stay
grumpy.
think i'll go along another day and
meet my mood in the morning.
maybe it will be ready for change.

last weekend i turned

thirty-seven.

it was a great day.

a shared birthday celebration

with my college roommate,

burgers on the grill,

beers with friends,

indulgent presents, 

an enormous cake,

and our children developing their
own special bonds.

camellias from the yard

spring is in full bloom here

all of our evenings have been spent in downtown mobile

celebrating mardi gras
