What can you say about a kid quickly becoming a man? I mean, I'm talking about a young teen on the express route physically, and perhaps even intellectually, to adulthood. He is taller by the second as his height wrestles with the size of his feet for ultimate dominance, and his hair and voice are … Continue reading Boy man

Hurricane Prep ~ Lilly Boy Style
Is there a better way to prepare for a major tropical storm than practicing getting tossed around by water and wind? I don't think so! Screw that filling up the tub with water nonsense and buying more toilet paper than a typical family of four uses in a month of eating tacos. Not here - … Continue reading Hurricane Prep ~ Lilly Boy Style

That being said, getting out of Albany and into the hill towns holds a certain appeal on a 90+ degree day and a recent trek … Continue reading Thompson’s Lake

There definitely were bits of it being circulated about, perhaps even covering a wide geographic range, but it was falling more … Continue reading MIA: Love
