Catching up...

After a year and a half, I've found a hunk of time with which to bring Max's photo journal up to date. The pics here are from December 2007 to present.

We love ASHEVILLE, NC

Thank you so much Sue, Todd, and Talie for the hospitality and FUN. Thank you for letting Max rake your massive yard. Thanks for introducing daddy and mama to Wayne "The Train" Hancock, Steve Earle, real BBQ, Indian food for breakfast, cuban sandwiches, tunnels, hills and hollers, ho-downs and hootenannies!

We love you and miss you everyday!

Autumn Leaves

We mananged to arrive in Asheville during the height of the leaves changing color. It was so incredible.

Because we didn't bring your bathing suit, that's why not!

Johnny Rebel

How we love him!

Shaving Cream

My friend and I went to the playground,
To try out my new catcher's mit.
I asked him to throw me a fastball
and he threw me a big lump of SH-
AVING Cream
Be nice and clean
Shave everyday and you'll always look keen.

Dude, I gotta go to rehearsal.

How can you be the lead singer if I'M the lead singer?
