Father's Day is a special day for both fathers and sons. And Father's Day 2004 was "special" indeed. The weekend started off with family and friends coming down to help me move into a new apartment. As a reward for their hard work, and as a father's day gift, I treated the gang to a round of golf at University Ridge, an immaculate course near the University of Wisconsin.

For the 4th of July, I headed north to our cabin at Spider Lake. Joined by David Heling, his girlfriend Jodi, and my parents, we passed the days by fishing, relaxing, fishing, and blowing up large amounts of fireworks. While I'm disappointed that I didn't get pictures of the fireworks, that's probably a good thing, since I was taking care to not blow off any fingers.

I drove down to Port Charlotte, Florida from Birmingham for a visit with my parents over the long Thanksgiving weekend. What was initially supposed to only be a family visit turned into a trip of discovery of the destruction caused by a direct hit by Hurricane Charley.

For me, Christmas is a great time of year. It represents a time to see your family (most of which you don't want to see more than once a year), a time to get away from the daily grind of life and work, and, best of all, a chance to do some skiing. While it's a little more complicated now that I live in Alabama instead of Wisconsin, I saddled up for the trip north. These photos are a little bit of documentation of the hijinks that ensued.

I took a trip over Valentine's Day to visit some friends and spend some time around both Indianapolis and Lafayette. While I didn't take nearly as many pictures as I would have liked, I still managed to get a few here and there that are worth sharing.

Another 4th of July trip to Spider Lake this year, accompanied by some friends who wanted to see the cabin without several feet of snow, and some great weather. We had a nice long week of lounging around, hiking in the woods, playing golf, and generally doing a whole lot of nothing. Oh, and there were fireworks, too. You can't have a 4th of July without things that go boom.

Like last year, I headed down to my parents' villa in Florida to enjoy thanksgiving with them. While the vacation passed far too quickly, it was a great couple of days off, filled with turkey, golfing, and a whole lot of relaxing. And you really can't complain about 75 degree weather in late November, can you?

Christmas in 2005 was spent at my home in Birmingham, forsaking skiing because of previously-used time off of work and other commitments. Here's a few family photos of the time!

On March 18, 2006, the Gamma Pi Chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi celebrated its 50th Anniversary of existance. Alumni young and old, along with the current actives and prospective member class, came to Purdue University to celebrate the history and accomplishments of this fine chapter of the band service fraternity.

To the cabin! For the Labor Day holiday, I ventured up north, before it began to snow. There, I'd find a bit of time to golf, a lot of time to relax, and have the chance to cheer on Team Foxfire in the annual Spider Lake Regatta. Who would win? And more importantly, what the hell is "Flaking a Sheet?"

Up to the woods of Wisconsin again, this time to don the hunting gear and search for unsuspecting grouse to shoot. It's a bit sad this year without a dog, but it turns out shooting is, mostly, like riding a bike: You don't really forget how to do it. And as an added bonus, hunting is about the only time you can wear clear lens sunglasses and not look like a total dork.

Halloween! Where we can all gather together, wear crazy costumes, and drink beer. It's just like when we were kids. Even the beer part. Maybe.
