Me, Her, the Boy and a Dog
Also, I founded the GoFightWinVT Tumblr, so if you're a Hokie, give it a follow. And, feel free to check out my Project 365 Tumblr.
So I get to work today and there’s a package sitting on my chair. I was thinking it was something I ordered from B&H Photo and Video, but instead, it’s from my Tumblr Buddy!
Inside, a brand spanking new t-shirt and if you know me, you know I love soft t-shirts. My TB got me a Fight Club t-shirt, which is now my favorite shirt. I wear it in the evenings when I get home and on the weekends if we’re just out and about. I occasionally wash it, too.
I got a couple of new t-shirts recently, one from Business Bullpen, the company I do contract work with, and a new Trampled by Turtles tee at the concert last month. And now this one, which feature New Orleans’ man-hole cover design, which according to my TB just one of those strange designs that took off and became wildly popular.
I also got a nice hand-written letter, which for this old guy is always a plus! I spend my entire days at the office working on computers and reading emails and blah blah blah, so getting a old-fashioned letter that someone took the time to write means a lot. I’m a simple man and it’s the little things.
My TB has been busy with final exams and moving for an internship. Congrats on the internship and you’ll do great, trust me! Despite all the craziness in their life, they still took the time to think of someone else who happens to be a perfect stranger. And THAT is what the TB experiment is all about.
Included with the t-shirt and letter was a new workout CD that I’ve already imported into my iTunes. I will probably try to recreate it via my Rdio account so I can take it with me anywhere! There are a lot of new-to-me tunes on there, but that’s just fine, I’m always trying to try new music and at the very least, these songs will be a great running soundtrack. Thanks, TB!
But the coup de gras of the package, at least by The Boy’s standards, is the 12 MP waterproof digital camera that arrived just in time for our trip to Bush Gardens and Water Country USA. Are you freaking kidding me? A 12MP waterproof digital camera? Oh snap! There will be plenty of videos of The Boy going down various rides at Water Country appearing on my Tumblr in the very near future.
Thank you so much Tumblr Buddy! I couldn’t have asked for a better TB! Drop me an anon soon and let me know how the internship is going!
Also, there’s more talk of the SEC showing interest in Virginia Tech. Interesting, very interesting!
You know the “flash” that you get when you take a picture with Mac’s Photo Booth? The one that gives your photos a bluish tint? Did you know you can turn it off?
All you have to do is hold the Shift key down when you click the camera icon to take the photo.

The Boy and I at school this morning. (Taken with instagram)
The Boy got a set of lacrosse sticks for his birthday and he took to it pretty quickly. He was a natural at passing the ball and he has a pretty hard shot, too. Whatever gets us outside and keeps us active!

My Son’s First Day of School
I know there’s nothing I can do to stop him from growing up. No matter how old he is, how tall he gets, he will always be my little boy.
What joy fatherhood must be. Thanks for calling.
This original soundtrack that onehelloworld composed for my story about The Boy’s first day of kindergarten gets me every time. Every. Time.
You should check out his debut album full of soundtracked stories from real people. It is powerful. It reminds me of NPR’s story corps, but set to beautifully composed music.
Birthday party from yesterday. Man he’s getting big. First baseball game tonight. Go Nats!
That’s me in the corner…
The Go Hokies Kid when he was about 2 years old. He’s always been a Hokie!
Me and my Boy this morning as I was dropping him off at school. You have no idea how much I love this kid, even when he’s not being the perfect angel Tumblr believes him to be.
The Goats of Castle’s Kettle and Pub are two-time NRUSA league champs! We followed up our fall 2011 league title with an undefeated spring 2012 season in which we went 8-0-2.
In last night’s championship game, we thumped The Black Knights, 6-1. We earned a first-round bye in the playoffs and then won our semifinal matchup against Fusion FC, 6-0. So in our two playoff games we outscored our opponents 12-1. What a great season!
A huge thanks to our sponsors at Castle’s for their support!
