The Quest for Casey
My friend Casey goes to the Air Force Academy. I know there are pictures* of her out there somewhere. So I went looking to find her...


This was not Casey marching.


This was not Casey with the flag.


This was not Casey way in the back.


The was not the back of Casey's head.


Finally! I found Casey. Nice pose.


This one I call Casey with Rope and Sandbags. Looking pretty intense...I don't remember, did you fall in?


Casey's big hat.

OSU v. Michigan Game Pics
A few pics from the OSU victory of Michigan.

#1. The Incomprable Script Ohio



#2. The game is almost over. These next few pictures work as a kind of fun little flip book. My favorite part is to watch the progression of the State Troopers whose job it was to protect the goal posts. In this pic, they are waiting to go on the field.



#3. We storm the field. Troopers begin to encircle the goal posts.



#4. The Masses of Humanity... but the goal posts are safe. And the poort Michigan band couldn't leave becasue they were blocked into their seats (probably also for safety reasons). Unfortunatly for them, this meant as people were filing out of the stadium the band was taunted mercilously with "We dont' give a damn for the whole state of Michigan" often with multiple, out of synch versions being sung at once.



#5. Yours truly on the 20 yard line. Go Bucks!

Quarter-Life Crisis Reaction Comments

I'm just as surprised as the next guy. People have things to say. Oh, and people read my website.


Waldo8585: do you believe in the quarter life crisis?
SOMER728: hahaha
Waldo8585: yes?
SOMER728: any time is a time for a life crisis


mmbmm1: the quarter-life crisis occurs when an individual graduates from college and finds themself out in the "real world"; they are suddenly faced with responsibilities such as paying rent, working, and other "adult" responsibilities without having the oversight of their parents; the quarter-life crisis is also characterized by the person coming to a point where those around them expect them to "have their act together" when it comes to jobs, finances, relationships, etc. and the stress of this and lack of worldly experience in handling these aspects of their life can lead to depression among young twenty-somethings who are just struggling to understand themself and gain some relief from their overwhelming burden


Kerry Edwards Politcal Rally in Dayton

I went. I stood in the sun. I listened. It was all in the name of Democracy. Even the sunburn.

Couple of pics. Bad quality, we were kinda far away.


The large banner which kept blowing down. It took the campaign guys three or four tries to fix it. Degree in Political Science, $60,000. Law Degree, $110,000. Knowing how to fix a banner, Priceless.


Teresa, Kerry, Edwards, Kerry's hot daughter, and John Glenn (r to l).
