Fathers Day 2011

This past weekend I was treated by my boys to an especially enjoyable day on the Tensas river. It was a great way to kick back, relax, and take a short swim. Dodging the flying carp was particularly fun, locally known as silver bullets, and no one was seriously hurt by the occasional collisions. Anthony is absent from this trip, he went to Biloxi with friends and then went directly to work the evening he got home. We were wishing he was here too as my family is and always will be my greatest asset. This is a collage of short 15-30 second clips from my camera, and put together as a Quick Time Movie. My apologies, between my legacy computers and Multiply's flash converter, I am having a grand 'ol time trying to get this video up and working. Hopefully, I will get a good copy up sometime in the near future. Meantime maybe just click on download original and watch it on your PC or MAC.

Only yesterday as I was readying myself to go out
I recall the list I wrote down of... those important things
it is surely here ....somewhere....
I was looking about for the shoes I normally wear
... why all I see are these slippers I can't say
And where exactly did I place my best shirt
as I'm sure.... it will need pressing again
I must be in a hurry... my friends will be there
they are waiting... there are so many things to do
The clutter here is becoming so bothersome
... I should put it in a box
in the attic... maybe.....
I suppose that can wait though
as I have finally gotten this annoying door open
As I step out onto my porch... oh... so familiar my porch
but what is this darkness... why is the moon yet so high
I have taken too long... I must wait until tomorrow...

I have taken too long... I must wait till tomorrow...
