Sunday was the good ol church picnic in Shiner. Usually it’s 1 million degrees outside, but a nice rain made the weather bearable. The Biergarten was packed to the rafters, and low and behold I see Ryan and Chad behind the counter serving beer. Ryan is rockin’ and cussin’ at the church picnic listening to [...]

Well damn, tonight was a night of athetic rigor, which brought on two different sports. First — Basketball I must say that I’m tired as sin, not really knowing what to expect rolling up to the park in good ol Shi-Town. Rolled up and saw Marty, Ryan, Julie and Ashley. We proceded to play 5 [...]
