Goal
“At a family birthday party, I thought I would do the fatherly thing and play a little soccer with my daughter. As I approached her to try to steal the ball, she sent a rocket in my direction. I was okay after writhing on the ground for a few minutes. We switched to football for the rest of the afternoon.“

The Team Table
“It rained on our scheduled Pony League baseball photo day, but rather than reschedule photos for a more suitable day, the photographer decided to power forward and move things indoors …or more specifically, set up the shots in the messy, drab, pavilion next to the field. So instead of home plate, there’s now a dirty crumpled up paper towel at my feet. A picnic table doubles as the catcher, and the only thing the concrete wall in the background is stopping is my shadow.”

Balls Out
“My Brother-in-Law, Norbert (second mullet from right), is a semi-professional bowler and used to bowl in many different state/national leagues and tournaments. This photo was taken at the big Las Vegas National Bowling Stadium Championship Tournament back in 1985. This was the man and this was his team and they didn’t mess around.”
