A plethora of information.

Random interesting facts abound! First up. Eli and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary on the 21st. Good times had by all. We went as saw a dinosaur exhibit. Turned out to be silly rubber ones for the kids. It was all worth it for this image of the rubber T-Rex terrorizing kids with his recorded roar. Note the orange blur followed by the second screaming child.



This is why you shouldn't expect children from us. I get too much joy out of them running in terror from things. Maybe that's the whole point of parenthood though. I seem to recall my father pretending to throw our toys out the window of the truck when we went for drives. I also seem to recall that stopping after one of us burst into tears. I'd like to say it was Becky, but I have a haunting suspicion it was me.

In other news, it was very hot the other day. Ninety two degrees to be exact. That's 33 degrees Celsius for you cool folk. Ninety just sounds BIGGER. It's the American way. Or the Texan way. I don't even know. Likely just the Fahrenheit way.

Other news: I am going to the zoo shortly. I will post again after!

Forget Mother's Day at your own peril.

I can't pick flowers from 4000 miles away for my mother. It hadn't really thought about it. I figured "I will call my mother! She will be so shocked I remembered!" Then she calls to remind me and let's me know not to feel bad about not picking flowers this year.

So now I feel bad about not picking flowers this year.

So I look it up. "Hey! I can pick them here and take a picture of them!"

No. I can't.

Behold the amazing Erythronium americanum! Grows pretty much everywhere... 4000 miles away. Good show, trout lily. Good show.

While writing this I paused and realized. "Don't I officially have two moms now?"

Then I paused again. "Didn't I get married this month last year?"

I will now distract you with two pictures and a video of a big fish. These are from earlier this year.
