Must’ve been a helluva scrap to lose an entire half!

If I’m fortunate enough to be teaching at the college long enough - I want to create a lit/writing/philosophy course about hunting as a basis for sustenance and connectedness.

Seriously! Deer was a brawler for sure.

And I would sign up for that course in a second.

Well what do you know?!

Now are you all done hanging out in a tree at insane hours? Thank goodness you got your deer!

I love you, and commend you on your insane ability to master any and every task you take on….

I am sure the meat is outstanding! Ask the kids if you can try some!

If only it were that easy! I still have some time in the tree in NH to look forward to!

Asking the important questions! Kiddo did great -- an early fall left her a little lacking in enthusiasm, however. She buckled up though and finished strong!

The Warthog rode shotgun with me in his running stroller for both the kids' one-miler and the subsequent 5K.

Love to hear it! Such a great thing to get some early exposure to. We have our first fam turkey trot coming up (I will also be pushing the twins).
