Hey there.

It was seemingly a long day. As I was driving home from work, I thought about what I had done during the day. Thinking back to events in the morning, I said to myself: "Wow! I can't believe that happened this morning! It seems so long ago." But now I find myself at home, updating my weblog. Ready to unwind after another in a string of busy days leading to summer vacation.

After this I will play with my barbells, watch sumo, play with my wife and son, and eat dinner. I plan to catch a couple of episodes of "Seinfeld" this evening as well. It is good to have my evening planned. I am happy to be home!

On the way home from work today, I stopped by the banks of the Mississippi River. I planned to photograph some of the swans that visit us in Monticello this time of year. The pictures that I took don't really do justice to the beauty of the scene by the river, but maybe you can get a sense of what I saw by looking at them.



Here are two pictures of some swans swimming in the water.















Here are some flying away.










And here's one for you Kentaro fans out there.
