Woodstock, GA

On August 23, I drove from Florida up to Woodstock, GA. My cousin Steve and his wife Charmaine live there, in a cool house with a Southern porch and a wild backyard.

I also spent a lot of time with Luke, Steve and Charmaine's son. Since Steve is my first cousin, that must make Luke my thrice-removed uncle-in-law or something like that.

Luke turned 3.5 years old while I was there, and he is a source of infinite energy. If there were a way to bottle it, we could wean ourselves off of oil in no time at all. One afternoon, we played soccer, baseball, hockey, football, chasing, hide and seek, Legos, Thomas the tank engine, grocery store, marble racers, Star Wars, and did some drawing. I drew an absolutely terrible tiger. However, I also produced an ingeniously-constructed marble racer track. I am way too proud of this.

See, those 12 years of college weren't for nothing!
