The Kids

Amber doesn't just dance on bars...she's also a remarkable mother to Beckett and Ayla. There's no consoling Beckett when she's gone on a work trip.

San Antone

Yes, this is a blurry picture of Amber on the bar at Coyote Ugly. In San Antonio.

Remarkably, none of the twelve pictures that were taken after this one turned out. Suffice to say, Amber and I put our breaks from parenting to solid use. (NOTE: Amber ran three miles with me about seven hours after this picture was taken, so give her a break.)

From these glorious, multi-thousand-dollar seats you can see much of the action, though none of the punts, long passes or, you know, scoreboard. Mizzou lost big and bad, but we had a great time.

If you like pina coladas...getting caught in the lame

I am completely sober in this picture...and yet, there's a fruity-ass pink drink in my hand. Why, you ask? Because it involved tequila and we were eight yards from the Riverwalk. Give me a break. At least I'm not slurring "Buh-loooomer, Shah-looooner" every five seconds and wondering where the extra 250 pounds came from.
