The Colo Derby
A couple Saturdays back I traveled to America’s crossroads: Colo, Iowa to take place in a turtle race that I have dubbed The Colo Derby. My noble steed Titian dominated the competition, but on that day, it would NOT only be the turtles that smelled fishy. If you get what… Read More »The Colo Derby
Mud Run
On Saturday, I completed a bargain I made with Sara back in February to “compete” in the Mud Run. Well, the way we handled it, it was more like a Mud Stroll and since it isn’t actually a competitive race, we didn’t really compete. However, we didn’t finish even close… Read More »Mud Run
Tour de Lundgren
A couple weeks ago Paul asked me to take a couple photos of him with his bike. A picture of him will go in some program for a bicycling team that is competing in the Tour d’Italia. Next week’s Wednesday randomness will involve Story County Philanthropy Day.
Relay for Life 2012
Relay for Life for Boone County was last Friday night. The picture below, although not many, would have been considered a miracle in January. They are still considered a miracle now. Willy ran 40 miles and was able to raise some money for the cause that way. He decided to… Read More »Relay for Life 2012
Glory
My man Willy McAlpine (I think he should run under the name Willis McAlpine, but that is just me) recently entered and dominated a 5K in Nevada. He won the event by almost 2 full minutes. A domination that I hope does not deter future runners from competing against him.… Read More »Glory
Track
A couple of weeks back I went to storied Goeppinger Field to watch Logan run in one of his final track meets. Here are a few pictures from the event: There should have been more pictures of Logan actually running, but I was experimenting with a feature on the new… Read More »Track

Hope you are enjoying the fisheye lens 1/20th of as much as I am enjoying it, because it isn’t going away. I expect you’ll see more sporting events captured with… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #102
Across the Country
A few pictures from Logan’s cross country meet… If memory serves correctly, Logan placed either 2nd or 3rd at this meet.
Regatta
A few weeks back I went to watch Jen and her crew dominate the Des Moines Regatta. I used to have a bunch of statistics to back up this assertion, but they have since fleed from this old man’s brain. I do know that Jen’s crew got the gold medal… Read More »Regatta

The Archives: Edition Eleven
These pictures come from: backup/Old My Pictures/Egg Toss These pictures were taken in Dustin’s dad’s basement with a webcam.

Perhaps the marquee attraction at this crew picnic was going… Read More »The Archives: Edition Eleven

Be Aggressive!
On Sunday I descended into the depths of Missouri and Kansas on Sunday to watch Alexis compete in competitive cheerleading. I had spoken with our Associate Pastor Andrea about good barbecue joints in Kansas City and she recommended Jack Stack for ribs and Oklahoma Joe’s for sandwiches. I looked into… Read More »Be Aggressive!
Des Moines Regatta
Admittedly, this is a series of very similar pictures, but I hope to convey the excitement and pageantry of the Des Moines Regatta. I went down there on Saturday to watch Jen compete with Derrick and sara. Some of these photos were taken by Sara who redeemed herself after last… Read More »Des Moines Regatta
Mother’s Day
On Mother’s Day, I hosted the first family event at the new house. I learned the following things. 1. My mom, despite literally knowing me my entire life, will takes something out of my fridge and eat it without looking at the expiration date. 2. If you ask Elainie to… Read More »Mother’s Day
McHose Park Mystery
On Thursday Jesse and I moved some furniture around. Later in the afternoon we went to check out the frisbee golf course in McHose. I had heard rumors about this course for quite some time. But I had only seen 1 or 2 holes. Jesse and I decided to find… Read More »McHose Park Mystery
Decaying State of Sports Journalism, Part 1
Earlier this year I started a group blog known as The Sports Proletariat. Little has actually transpired there since I started the blog, but every now and again, somebody lets slip something brilliant over there. What lies below was written by Russell Kennerly. I liked it so much that I’m… Read More »Decaying State of Sports Journalism, Part 1
Happy Birthday Sara!
Today is Sara’s birthday. Rather than post a bunch of pictures of Sara for Sara’s birthday, I’m going to take a slightly different tact. Yesterday I wrote about Sara auditioning to become a Photography 139 Photo Assistant. She got high marks for having a big purse. One of her few… Read More »Happy Birthday Sara!
