For 23 years I was a Texan who had never held or shot--much less own--a gun. Today, my friend Nathan fixed that with a visit to the shooting range. For all my clumsiness and ditz-prone behaviors, I have now proven that I can, indeed, hit the broad side of a barn.
In short: I think the Beatles quote says it all.....

My daughter has worked for many many hours to rebuild her swing over the past several months. Her form has improved immensely! Here you see a hard hit hot shot that unfortunately was right at the opposing short stop. Her next at bat yielded a stand up triple that might have cleared the fence on some fields. Unfortunately, I failed to capture that shot!

Continuation of my antique series from the bbq joint. You don't see these old telephone booths anymore, except maybe England. I peeked inside and there was no phone which was disappointing but I loved the look of the paint peeling and the splotches of yellow mixed in with the red. I chose this angle because I wanted the "telephone" sign to be prominent and also give the viewer a glimpse of the inside.
This girls has a ton of hustle and a cannon for an arm - be warned ye who dreams of stealing second base!
