The fear of death and stopping your heart

For the past couple years my son and I have been jumping in the freezing waters of the Ohio River for Louisville Special Olympics. We are part of the Brown Bear team, organized around his school, Brown.

The first year I jumped in the water temp was around 38°, and I think my heart stopped beating for a few seconds. There is nothing like a father and son going through a near death experience together to bring them closer, even if it is voluntary. My youngest son is in the blue long sleeve shirt. This year it wasn't too bad, the water temperature was above the air temperature, so it made for a nice jump.

I'm pretty sure we had the youngest average jumper age, we had 13 kids in the 7-9 year old range, and 2 or 3 adult jumpers.

The Sunny Side Of Louisville

Falls of the Ohio, on the sunny side of Louisville. The kids and I went to the Falls today, and spent some time hiking through the fossil beds. I was lucky enough to catch a yellow finch on camera. The Falls is one of my favorite 'natural' places in the Louisville area, especially when the river is low.

The stark contrast between the old rocks and the new life that emerges from the newly created pools of water helps me appreciate the life between the spectrums of the life cycle.

All white in Indiana, all right? / White wine party

I went to my first all white, white wine party. Every one brought two bottles of their favorite white wine, then we blind bottled one of the two, and the winners got the unopened bottles. It was such a good time. Makes me thinking of doing this with Bourbon.

Kim Crawford came in first, then Amplus and rounding up third was Cupcake (my personal favorite of the show).

Each couple got a folder with a scorecard and glass markers. As the night grew dark and each bottle was opened, we all came to stark realizations - we all liked white wine.

Bridging the gap in Louisville

I was hanging out with the Tumbleweed wi-fi under the Kennedy Bridge in downtown Louisville, and took a few photos as the sun set over the Ohio River. The River is one of the reasons I moved to Louisville, and I love being able to work on the banks under the bridge. It makes me happy that we are going to build another bridge, but wish it was for light rail instead of for auto traffic.

Bushy Hair: Where did Jami Cutbush go, not at PureImage

Ever since my divorce, I've been going to Jami Cutbush, then at Raindogs, then PureImage. One day she was gone, right as I needed a style/hair cut. It was plus one week before I knew she wasn't at PureImage anymore, then, another week went by before I found Jami's FaceBook Fan page,  . Then another week before I called LuBlu, her new place, and another week before I could get in. The Result was a bushy head.

The new salon is a great looking space, how could I not like it with the modern industrial feel, and Jami is a great sylist.
