Gone fishing

I went fishing yesterday up on the Rappahannock with my good friends Ryan and Nate. It was a good time of hanging out. We fished, threw around the frisbee and football, canoed, drank beer and fished some more. Fishing awards are as follows:
- Most Fish Caught: Ryan(4)
- Largest Fish: Me!
- Save face: Nate for catching for his one and only fish at the end of the day
It was a great day of hanging out with friends and just enjoying nature. Good times!
The above picture is the big one. It’s also good evidence that I need to lose weight.
Green energy for our home

I’ve been wanting to make the switch over to green energy for our house for a while but just hadn’t done it. Well, I was inspired by hanging out with the Back Porch Energy crew last night and just made the switch for us to use Wind power for the house. My challenge to you is to make some simple changes around the house to save energy(and money) such as:
- Switch to CFL Lightbulbs
- Turn off lights when you aren’t using them
- Unplug electronics that you aren’t using
- Buy ENERGY STAR appliances
and then use that money to go green with your energy. If you are in Virginia you can go here to sign up. Go coal and nuclear free today!

My “little” brother Mike got married on Sunday! It was a very cool and fun wedding that was held at Baldwin’s Station. I was honored to be the best man. We love Sarah and love having her be a part of the family!

I got to meet a few people involved with the Back Porch Energy Initiative at Buzzy’s today. Seem like very cool people and I’m a big fan of what they are doing. A group of them just moved to Church Hill a couple weeks ago. They are hosting a community gathering on Monday(the 28th) night at Globe Hopper at 6:30. I’m gonna try to make it out. Any locals want to come along?
