 This is a bird we saw at the park in Newport News. I thought it was a cool bird, but it started to fly away as soon as I started to take the photo, so this became an action shot. I kinda like the picture. :)

 My little Friend. 
Posted by Picasa
I have learned that my blog is making other blogs look bad. Well if your blog was any good a blog such as mine would not have that great of an effect on yours :).  My time has been spent doing things other than facebook, blogspot, or any other internet based activity. This is because I have been busy chasing after a very busy 1 year old (and my internet has not work). 
My life has been fairly pleasant lately in all actuality. I start my days around 5:30 or 6:00 with a nice jog along the beach and through the battlefields of Yorktown. I then come back to my brothers house and start chasing after my nephew. That goes most of the day. Then I usually crash around 10:00 and start it all over again. Since I did not have internet I really had nothing to do in any sort of spare time I did have. Though I love my iphone and  I do like blogging I really felt that it would only consume to much time and really just end with me pissed off and never really posting anything. This meant that I did what people used to do in the good old days for fun in their free time... I read. What did I read you might ask...Well I read and am currently reading Exposure. It is actually really good and I am learning to use the camera I have had for what seems like a life time, but really is only like a couple months. I will probably be posting pictures as soon as I find the energy and desire to put the pictures on my computer. 
I have also started a small version of Iron Chef in my brothers home. I believe we will be video taping the next challenge we participate in. We kick of this extraordinary event last Saturday with a pizza challenge. I originally thought we were each doing a three course dinner all of pizza, but then my pansy of a brother back down from this and only made one. I continued with the three pizzas I had planned to make. The first of which was an appetizer pizza. For this pizza I just used a plain yeast dough crust rolled thin. Then I made an artichoke and spinach dip with cheese that I placed on top of the crust and baked so the crust was crisp and the dip was warm. Then I made my main course pizza. For this I used the same crust rolled thin, then I put a light coat of my home made red sauce. I placed a garlic, spinach, and artichoke topping of sorts on it and finished it off with a good helping of feta, parmesan, and mozzarella. When the pizza came put of the oven I brushed the crust with some olive oil and sprinkled basil on top of the entire pizza. I then finished the pizza night off with a dessert pizza. This was a pie crust rolled flat, then I put a home made white chocolate mousse on then I put berries and drizzled chocolate on the entire pizza. I  won the challenge! Which is part of the reason I believe we are holding another challenge this weekend. 
 I was going to say that this is all since my last post, but I believe I have also become certified in scuba diving and motorcycle riding. That is about all I have to say at this time. I will be posting pictures in the near future I do believe.
