Corvin’s final Honors Orchestra concert of the year. Its best to listen to the video more than watch. Corvin is in the back. Also of note, he wore a Spam tie, but the director made him take it off. Hogan Haake
I asked Bernie in passing if I could borrow his 4 person aluminum boat for the South Dakota Kayak Challenge. He surprised me by saying yes.

I tried to get more uni-cycling in this month. And something about my wife being awesome! Hogan Haake
The Meramec is flooding to record levels again. Here is the first of three outings documenting it. This one is with JoJo, Andy, and myself. Since we parked in a flooded area, we always stayed in site of the cars to make sure we could have a quick exit.
