My Favorite Season

I all ready knew that I liked fall the best, but this little test confirmed it.

You Belong in Fall

Intelligent, introspective, and quite expressive at times... You appreciate the changes in color, climate, and mood that fall brings Whether you're carving wacky pumpkins or taking long drives, autumn is a favorite time of year for you

What Season Are You?

Shooting Saturday

My friend Wally recently purchase a new rifle and wanted to sight it in, so we decided to spend some time today at a local range. We invited a couple of kids from our church to go with us. We took a .22 rifle and let them shoot a couple of magazines apiece. They both had a great time and we got our guns sighted in for the upcoming hunting season.

FIshing Friday

I hadn't been fishing for quite some time, so I headed out today for a couple of hours. The lake I drove to was still goobered up with algae, so I wasn't able to fish as much water as I would have liked. I did manage to catch and release several sunfish. This is one of the bigger examles. I ended my trip by catching several from the stream below the spillway on dry flies. What a great time.

WVU Marching Band

I just thought I would put this out for all true Mountaineer fans to enjoy. This was at the 2006 Sugar Bowl. This is their pregame "Country Roads".

Melissa's Birthday

Today is my beautiful wife Melissa's Birthday. I had to work, but everyone came to Annapolis to meet me halfway on my drive home. We had some dinner in Melissa's favorite Mexican restaurant. The highlight of the evening was when the staff came and put a sombrero on her head and then sang their happy birthday song.

Our Anniversary

Melissa and I celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary today. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner last night at Restaurant Local. It was a great meal. I had told them when making the reservation that it was our anniversary, so when it came time for dessert the waiter informed us that the chef had prepared something special for us. It was a delicious chocolate cake/mouse combination and a small cheesecake dessert with raspberry topping. Mmm, Mmm good. We had decided to have dinner on Friday evening because the first WVU football game was Saturday afternoon at 3:30 and we wanted to watch the game. We enjoyed a liesurely day by visiting the local Amish Market and our weekly farmer's market. The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum was having their annual boat auction so we decided to drive down to St. Michaels and take a look around. We ran into our friends Tom and Renee who were at the auction hoping to get a good deal on a boat. They were successful and came away with a nice 19' double rowing skiff. We hung around as long as we could and still be home in time for the game. We made it back in time to watch the Mountaineers win the game. We celebrated with some grilled steaks. Our friends Wally and Tina came over bringing some local sweet corn and we all had a tasty dinner out on the deck. What a way to celebrate our anniversary, good friends, good food and college football.
