Get On Your Shorts We’re Going In

lakeduck.jpgI saw this duck on the lake today. My dad used to tell us this story about Daffy Duck when I was a kid. It was something he learned on a record he had when he was growing up. No seriously, it was a record: vinyl, grooves, hole in the middle, etc. The story would always start (as if daffy duck was saying it): “… boy oh boy what a bunch of ducks on the lake today.. ” This picture reminded me of that.. those were good days.

It was good day. Bethany’s boss gave her a half day and invited us out on a nearby lake for some boating, swimming, and tubing. So much fun! I really needed to get out of the apartment. I haven’t been working much lately and sitting in the apartment all day reading and creating and doing nothing has been kind of getting to me. If I knew what “cabin fever” was I’m pretty sure it’s close to what I have. Anyway, getting back to the tubing. I caught this shot of Bethany as she was going outside the wake for the first time. She had never been tubing before on a tube like this. You pretty much get on, hang on for dear life, and it’s up to the driver of the boat after that. All in all, it was 5 hours of awesome.

We are both sore now though. That’s probably why we just sat on the bed and watched “A League of Their Own.” Good movie. I was happy to watch it again. Tom Hanks does a great job in that movie. Kind of a funny role for him, but good. wifelake.jpgIt’s hot in our apartment. I don’t know what it is about this place, but we’re on the 3rd floor and I think the heat gets trapped up here somewhere. Maybe sometime I should elaborate more on where I live, it’s a funny place. Ok, onward to the 10 o’clock news and late night television. And if you haven’t been in the water yet, you’re 2 days late; summer started on the 21st!

PS!! I just found the recording that my dad used to say! Took me like 2 hours, I’m stoked. CLICK TO LISTEN!

Ha, Shay, I remember when you used to talk like Daffy Duck way back in the day. Anyways, man, I was just browsing around and came across your new, but old, site (shaycam.com) I guess you could say. Hey, your parents are moving out close to my mine in Kentucky if they haven’t already. I thought that was awesome when my mom told me.

Right now I’m in California, but probably not for very much longer. When I get out of the Air Force in Sept/Oct I’ll be moving to Tennessee to live. I’d like to catch up with you and meet your wife (which is awesome to hear that you are married now). Take it easy bro.
