storms blown over



At the moment, I’ve got a number of friends who are going through a lot, and I just wanted to put this image out there for them, to say that it’s going to be alright, that whatever it is going on right now will pass.

Today was the annual Texas Festival at Kenston Forest School in Blackstone. It’s been years since I’ve been able to make it down for this all-you-can-eat extravaganza. We’re talking tons of barbecue, ribs, chili, tacos and a non-stop open bar. Throw in live music and a bull ride and you’ve got one [...]
