WHO'S THE BOSS
Yesterday, leaving church, the windshield of our car had been adorned with a couple of political flyers. I took them off as Jack climbed inside.

"Daddy," he inquired. "Why does our car have tickets on it today?"

"Oh, those aren't tickets, those are political flyers, because there's an election in two days."

"What's an election?"

Realizing this would take more than a simple answer, I started to explain to him how in America people get to choose their leaders by voting. Backing up further still, I started to explain that the leader of Wisconsin, for instance, is called the "governor," and that we would be choosing who our governor would be by ...

"But Daddy," Jack interrupted, "God is the king of EVERYTHING!"

Well put, my boy. Well put.

WINTER WALK
A snowstorm in Kletsch Park, winter 2005-06.
A WALK IN THE PARK
This is my favorite series of photos, taken during a walk in Doctors Park with my son, Jack, in fall of 2004.






SMALL BOY, BIG APPETITE
This is a picture of my son Jack taken at the H-D 100th Anniversary celebration in 2003.
WINDOW SEAT
Recently, on a trip to Canada (via Phoenix), I got a good view of two big landmarks from my window seat: Mt. Rainier and the Grand Canyon. I almost missed the Grand Canyon because I was watching the in-flight movie.

BOY AND DOG

This is our boy and our dog.
WELCOME

Welcome to my blog, "Story and Photos." I don't know anything about how this all works, but I thought it would be cool to have a blog. Thought I'd start by publishing this picture of my lovely wife and handsome son, taken in late October by the Milwaukee River.


More later.
