I just love all these great pictures of you guys, especially the ones with your families. I haven't got a really good one of our whole crew recently, but I will make a point of getting some and post one or two a little while down the road. Until then, here's a pick that's only about a month old of Little Man and I enjoying the morning air in Kamloops. He's already about a pound heavier than he was then. They really do grow like weeds don't they? Must be what we're feeding him.

That's true... you certainly don't look very english (whatever that means... :o). Nice to know that our oldest allies still enjoy our shores!Quote:

I'm not quite sure what it means either but i hope its a compliment :hmmm:.Quote:

All of these pictures are before I found straight razors so shaving was still a chore.
Funny that you've shaved your legs but not your face. I thought every hair slowed you down. You should do the arms, while you're at it :thinking::wQuote:

I guess for the first reason, the arms would be a good idea too. Swimmers do shave for hydrodynamics as there is much greater drag through the water than there is through the air.Quote:
