Where’d it go!?!

kickin it pmouth stylee
Hunter Mckay, Jon Ross, Bob Halperin & Drika Overton say good bye to the Memorial Bridge.

Truly! This was a absolutely ROCKIN’ summer and it positively flew by. I’ve got a lot of great memories AND a lot of great pictures. Yup, slide show time! But, this isn’t one you have to sit through to be polite. I don’t know you from Adam, as they say, or, there’s no real way for me to know who you are. I may know you, I may not. Soooo, it’ll be easy for you to excuse yourself right now and not even take a gander at a single pic. But you’ll miss out on my kids paying a visit in the middle of the summer. Roger’s sculpture being installed. Our new niece. You know, important stuff that you should really check out and enjoy. But, I understand. Whatever you wanna do is cool with me. How ’bout some tunes?! There’s some great stuff coming up…check it:
