There comes a time

Eventually your children will start learning to bargain, barter, and exchange services for goods.  Such was the case this morning when Michael offered Joshua some his prized books if Joshua would allow him to cut his hair.  Joshua, of course, returned the favor.  And there you have it.  Yes, Dad, what goes around certainly does come around ten-fold.  Luckily, they both love their amazing new summer cuts; too bad it's still only 37 degrees.

With all of the lovely rain we have been getting the boys have been dying to play outside.  So, after some careful consideration and promises not to get mud all over the carpet I gave in.  I thought they might get a little wet but had no idea what I was in for.  They had great fun and really in the end didn't get mud on the carpet.  What good boys!  Enjoy some fun pics!

Last night was my final concert with University Singers at the University of Missouri and I had a dynamite solo, very nontraditional.  Watch the clip and you'll understand.  I'm the one on the right telling the scary story.  Watch it all—it's long, but amazing.

Have you ever tried to do a culminating, life depends on it kind of studying during weather like this?

Yeah, its a little distracting, but should be over soon enough so I can get back to my real work.  Notice the river of hail—I bet you've never seen one of those before!  I affectionately refer to it as Styx.

OK, bonus points if you get my bad, bad pun.
