Photos, photos everywhere. I carry my
digital camera pretty much everywhere I go, because you never just know when you
might run into something interesting. Or in many cases, I carry it with me
so I can remember what I did and who I hit on when I was drunk. Take a
gander, please.

| It was another weekend for
the books when Luke, Patrick, Liz, Colin, and the rest of the gang came to
town. |
It was
Christmas time once again, and here are pictures from the highlights
from my break from DSU. |
From Dad
holding Peyton with gun in hand, to a coonskin-capped Patrick
cartwheeling into Arizona, it's the best of 2004. |
In January, I
spent a few days in the Twin Cities with friends from the previous year
at Valleyfair, as well as others. |

Pursuit, all the while drinking heavily. |
Minneapolis,
Detroit, Toronto, Niagara Falls, and Angola, Ind. were stops on our
week-long spring break road trip. |
In March,
Terry and Jeff LaPlant visited us in Madison, as did many of our closest
DSU friends. It was one for the books. |
Here are some
pictures from April, when we visited the Twin Cities for VF training,
and some good times at DSU. |

team, the Sea Cows, won the Valleyfair Olympics out of nineteen teams,

| After a long

Here's a look from the home front and also a few shots from our Madison
house. |
I signed up
to work weekend in September at Valleyfair. As usual, I had my camera in
hand as I worked the weekend away and had a night on the town. |
In October, I
went to Omaha, NE for the weekend to visit friends Liz Burke and Jason
LaPlant. Also along were Travis, Amy, Mike, Joe, and Colin. |
I went back
to Willow Lake, my old school, for the homecoming game and other
festivities. |
