Looking for a game preserve.

Looking for this game preserve. One of my best friends, Dr. Bob, did his Ph. D. in herpetology here. Lot's of great photos and stories from him over the years. Met his wife in the middle of nowhere one day while doing research.

Yer up Phil.

I completely missed the last round but I see that life goes on! My son graduated from 8th grade so we had half day of school ceremonies and then a nice lunch and then I took him shopping for stuff he wanted.

OK, unc, where the hell are ya?

Tully Mars

For some reason I thought this was going to be much harder then it was.

Since you reminded me of Etosha I went on a photo journey there...what a great place. I hope I can go there some day soon. Also, Tul, I sometimes find that a couple quickies in a row can be more fun than one long prolonged one. Depends on the mood, but change is good.

Shell

...more confetti is in order. Congrats to your son for his 8th grade graduation. And congrats to you for doing a good job raising him. Here's my advice (not that you asked for it) as he enters high school. Make sure he stays completely busy with sports or SOMEthing because idleness is the devil's playground...especially for teenage boys. And watch out for his internet usage and those addictive games...it's a different world now.

...okay, i'll stop now

...uh oh, before you know it this day will come.

Thanks, Shell. He's already picking out cars and we're trying to be realistic about what's a good first car for a young kid (aka safe); but he seems to appreciate the fact that he won't be driving mine without me being there since it could easily be lethal in inexperienced hands. But I'll take him to some track days with me and let him learn there, so he can learn to handle things in a controlled atmosphere and work out some of that excess adreniline.

As for busy, that's great advice. His vice principal/disciplinarian told me the same thing at a recent meeting. Last couple years he's been on the school football and basketball teams, as well as on neighborhood teams. He likes sports, so that's good; and he gets honors frequently though not always. He's a good kid. He told me he wants to go to Hawaii soon, but I doubt that's where unc's going next.

uncle phil

not hawaii...

ok, where am i?
