Ode to Uncle James

During our recent trip to California we were so lucky to stay with our extended family right on a gorgeous stretch of beach. Only problem that comes along with such a blessing is what I call the "California Haze." Looking at the ocean, the pristine sand, the sun beating down on you... strange things can happen.

The next thing you know you think it is okay to go in public dressed like this...

and this. Then you win your nephews' absolute admiration by doing crazy things...

...like jumping into a freezing ocean in January.

Um yea, that surfer in the wet suit behind you there thinks you're crazy too.

But your nephews, that's another story. You have won their unending affection and allegiance.


We love you James!
