Only A Few More Days...

Melissa only has a few more days to wait till our monumental 2nd wedding anniversary. Two down and many, many, many more to come.

The Fountains of Philly

Swann Memorial Fountain

This was a great shot my friend Jay took of my wife & her cousin while we attempted the five fountain walking expedition.

Favorite Picture in 2008 from Jose Juan's Blog

Jasper & Ave ... or ... Jose Juan & Ben????

After seeing all the incredible pictures of Jasper holding his new sister I could not help but think of this picture acquired from the treasure trove of Joe Jones. This was taken right before I pile-drived Jose Juan off the chair...

Missing Jasper...

One of my favorite pics with my Godson Jasper. It appears Jose Juan went down for the count as Jasper became my best friend... I still believe Mom's cheesecake & fresh strawberries had nothing to do with the fact Jasper never left my side all morning.

Paella Cooking Class

While on a recent trip to Mexico I had to give Don Julio (in chef jacket behind the Paella) some pointers. Kyle & I then proceeded to take the entire beach side kitchen over. We later heard that it was the first meal in Mexico that day where not one person caught Montezuma’s Revenge.

USS New Jersey - BB-62

The awe inspiring impression a few 16-inch/50-inch caliber Mark 7 guns can do to the water when 1.35 ton armor piercing shells are projected out of their turrets at 792 miles per second.

These 1.35-ton armor-piercing shells have the ability to reach out and touch someone at 24 miles. Just an incredible picture.

Memorial Day

It was a great honor to carry the Stars & Strips in the Memorial Day parade through Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Here are some of the wonderful pictures my beautiful wife took.
