And of course, its Cross Country season, so Corvin is out running with … Continue reading “River des Peres Trash Bash – 10/19/2019”
Danelle has been spending a lot of time in the lab sorting “bugs” from her samples. Luckily, she has been getting help from some students who are looking to get some lab experience. Karen and Maria have been her reliable helpers this year. This time, Danelle even got me in on the act as we … Continue reading “Danelle and Friends in the Lab – 10/17/2019”
I originally took time off work for the week to participate in the MR340 canoe race. After nearly sinking the 3 person canoe on the Missouri river, the team decided it wasn’t our year. This left me with a one week vacation to do almost anything I wanted with. I decided I would use half … Continue reading “Moto Adventure – 10/12/2019”
I just want to come clean, I own 6 unicycles. All of various sizes. But Corvin and I are addicts. So we fell to temptation and purchased another unicycle. But this one is different from all the others. Its a 5′ giraffe (tall, and requires a chain drive). We only needed to drive a 6 … Continue reading “Another Unicycle – 10/9/2019”
Its great to have friends. In Corvin’s case, they decided to throw him a surprise birthday party. To facilitate this party, I took Corvin out driving (this is his 16th birthday and he doesn’t have a full license yet). He was doing a great job. I had him go shopping with me and we bought … Continue reading “Corvin’s Surprise – 10/9/2019”

It isn’t often you see an owl in your backyard (at least we don’t). When I saw one, I got Danelle quickly to come out with her camera. Here are the photos we got of the fantastic bird. Of course I wanted more photos, but these were the ones we got. We’ll be greatful for … Continue reading “Backyard Owl – 9/14/2019”
As our 3rd meet of the year just one week after the glory that was the Fort Zumwalt North race we were on a high with other teams wondering if Webster would rock like we did a week earlier. As I had been moved onto Varsity the stakes were much higher but you cant let … Continue reading “Corvin XC – 9/14/2019”
The Sunset Race is always a good time. Today, I was racing with JoJo and Jason in a Spencer Canoes C3. We are consider taking this boat on the MR340 together this year if the river stops flooding. As an added bonus, Jeff Hug came out to paddle as well. We’ve worked together in the … Continue reading “130th Sunset Race – 9/12/2019”
The Webster Groves invitational at Blackburn park, was the first XC race of the 2019 season, and was a great start to the monumental season.
