Bethany Deedee Visit 2006

Lots of new pictures from Bethany and Deedee's visit to Tucson this month. We had a great time. René (an old family friend) flew in for a day. We went bowling. Staci & Beth and I went horseback riding as well.

Acting Like an Adult

So the other day I had to put air in my car's tires. I'm at the air pump at a gas station, squatting (literally) so I can be at the correct angle to fill the tires. It is as I'm squatting here, in my work clothes, that I think to myself "Chris, when have you ever in your life seen an adult squat like this in public, what the HELL are you doing!?" When does your body act like an adult? How does a grown-up put air in their tires? Bending from the waist while standing? (I tried this...no use, I was at the wrong angle to get to the valves.) Perhaps I should have kneeled in a "will you marry me" pose? (Hell no, I was wearing good pants!) I do things a lot that I cannot picture a 40 year old doing: lying down across the empty seat on the train (train-train, Chuck, don't worry - I'm not lying down on the Metro), carrying 17 bags of groceries up the stairs at once by stringing the bags across my arms, standing up on my tip toes and bouncing while waiting to cross the street just because I'm tired of standing there, whistling songs I make up in public... Do mannerisms change with age? Or will I always look like a 5 year old when putting air in my tires?

Needles

Cleaning up Christmas can be a mess. Glad I was in Boston...

New Years 2005
