more photos...a bit of fall for you all. today i spent the afternoon with my brother at our family's lakehouse pulling out the dock and raft. i'm always overcome with a sense of melancholy when spending any time off season at the lakehouse. for some reason, don henley's "the boys of summer" song starts going through my head. you know, "empty lake, empty streets, the sun goes down alone. i'm driving by your house, though i know you're not at home". that line kills me and makes me think of different girls i dated at the lake. wonder where they are, right? also ran in to shamus, this guy who lives in the town there who's parents own the restaurant i worked at one summer. except shamus was like a little kid, 14,15, or something, but is now this guy working construction and building houses in the area. anyway, he just happened to be at his parent's place (poor people's pub) with some guys he builds with. he bought my brother and i a couple of beers and it was good to hear the different things he's been up to. it's been a few years.
