This picture was taken 6 days ago when the sun was out, the temps were in the 80’s and I was sitting on a patio on a Friday afternoon enjoying my first patio beers of the season.

I’d prepared some flank steak, salmon (cause the wife won’t touch a piece of red meat), veggies, etc. to be grilled. Earlier in the day I was preparing the flank and G asked me what … Continue reading
I just don’t get it. I don’t know when it happened. I don’t know why it happened. But I’ve become “that” neighbor. The neighbor that doesn’t want the neighborhood kids walking through his yard.
