Tae Kwon Do Testing

Yesterday Robbie and Cameron tested to move up in rank. Robbie is now "Recommended Brown Belt." Unfortunately Cameron didn't finish his test. Something about not following directions, not paying attention, etc. (If you know him, this doesn't surprise you.) Here are some pics:

Memorial Day 2008

Sarah and I took the boys down to watch the West Coast Thunder motorcycle parade. Every year thousands (this year they estimate 7,000) of motorcycles parade from the Harley Davidson dealership to the Riverside National Cemetary. Here are some pics:

For the second year we have seen the sweetest couple. He is obviously a military veteran. They bring out their blankets and lawn chairs and wave American Flags as the motorcycles pass. This year she stood at the curb for a while waving at the riders.


Finally, the coolest bike of the day:

My New Bass

Here she is. Sue wants to name her "Juliette" because she is green and blue, Girls Scouts are green and blue, Juliette founded the Girl Scouts. Any other suggestions? (Not that I don't like Juliette, but I like to shop around before making decisions.)




I'll post better pics soon. These were taken quickly between rehearsal and service at church today.

Yesterday I took the dive and purchased a Nikon D40 digital SLR camera. I have started a new blog to share my pictures and hopefully get some feedback about them. Feel free to check it out: Bill's Picture A Day Blog

Here's a pic just because:
