It’s that time of year again and it is always bitter sweet. Don’t think I’m about to get sissified and reflective on you, I just wanted to warn everyone. This is the last big weekend and blowout at the lake every summer. This is that weekend where you have to leave it all out on the water. You don’t come in until the game warden says so.

There should be big air, little scare, and you there.

**UPDATE**
Crusty brought up a good point in the comments section…..Gustav, you stay the hell away from my Labor Day weekend. You’re not invited.

For those of you who read the name Rooks on this blog and don’t know who that is…it is Brooks Richard. He has been everyone’s little brother since his freshman year in high school. It just brings a tear to my eye to see that he has finally “made it”. I am not referring to him graduating from college this past weekend after a strong 7 years, but actually referring to him being featured on the The Dirty . com:

You can click on the picture and defend him in the comment section or let him know how proud you are by pouring it on.

Short list of pregnant people I know:

• Gabrielle “Sister” Thompson
• Morgan “Big Bumpy” Hinds
• Lisa “Sissy” Mathews
• Jeromes “Skeet Skeet” Henry (actually, his wife)
• Chad “Big Man” Kemp (actually him, but it is unconfirmed….could just be a few extra pounds)

A few notes worth mentioning while we are on the subject:

• Shaun “Chun Pah” Seago is not pregnant but he is losing his hair
• David “Primo” Hinds is 0-10 in NCAA ‘09
• Zach “Z-Cat” Padgett is m.i.a. *record skips*
• Katherine “KP” Barnett recently had a b-day but we don’t count it in numbers any more
• Little Jurassic JS Bearden is turning the BIG 4 this weekend.
• My little neph Lucas can fake sneeze on cue. That is advanced, I don’t care what you say.
• “Mad Money” Mike Albanese and Nicole “Sikki” Wingate got engaged this past Friday. Congrats! (I put it at the bottom because I may not be at liberty to make the announcement for them)

I know it has been a while since the last post and for good reason. I’ve just been busy and hadn’t felt like it. Get over it. I thought I would explain some of the things I’ve been doing in pics for those who’ve been complaining.

First, we celebrated Darren’s b-day:

Been hanging out with friends:

The real time-consumer has been moving into new offices. I have a short commute and rode my board the 1st day:

And I am not going to say where our new offices are because of the psycho’s out there. But I will give you a hint with the pic from my window:
