Halloween '06

Halloween '06

Last night, we went to a costume party. There were lots of Jersey girls, a Kougar and a Kougar Katcher, a mullet-havin’ swat team guy and a saloon prostitute and her patron. Indiana Jones and Mola Ram also graced the scene. It was a fun party with a live one-man band, karaoke, the rock-climbing dog (see previous post) turned cowboy and good food. Here we are:

Trav painted my head while I ate rigatoni from Ligori's!








The final product. Yikes.

Steph and I went to City of Rocks and Castle Rocks state park over the weekend with friends and a rock climbing dog. Here are some pictures.

Every year on the Saturday closest to my birthday, I hike Ben Lomond Peak. This year was my seventh time.
