Tried calamari tonight for the first time.  I needed to get this down for future generations.
I also ate the biggest grape of my life.
Justin saw a futon on the side of the road on his bike ride today.
At midnight, we drove over and picked it up; hoping to fix it for Isaac's room.
Justin found only one tick from the extravaganza so far.
I hate ticks.  Also noted for future generations.

I love the look of concentration on Ammon's face when he does buttons.
I wish I could bottle it up.

A little annoyed at self.  Wanted to spend time outside.
