IS THERE ANYTHING THIS KID CANT DO, ETC ETC:
GONE FISHING EDITION
























True action shot by Bobby, Rahway NJ May 2007.

Raul was out fishing on the pond this weekend. Reports from the field indicate yes he really did catch this fish all by himself. It's never to early to talk about respecting all forms of life, this was probably an exercise in catch and release. Look at dude, those dunks probably didnt even get wet.

SUNGLASSES IS A MUST

Normally im not such a fan of the super self-aware parent pics but in this case Raul the Jewel is stunting pretty hard, it's kinda scary.

BACK ON TRACK



















Last night we went out to the Red Hook track so Raul could play with his Tonka van (Tonka??) in the grass while Dad got his ass handed to him hammered by Jorge, Felipe Jr, D Campos and Marco in a 2 mile time trial. A good head-cleaning-out experience for Dad though, plus Raul was good about standing on the inside and insanely cheering Dad on with weird shrieking laughter, lap after torturous lap. A track nut is born!

After the bros split Raul ran a 400m lap without stopping. Nice one! He's got good form. Dad also showed him how to do a sprint start—the thought of Dad showing anyone anything about sprinting is beyond hilarious.

CHOPSTICKS


















It's our last few days together on Sterling St and wanting to get the most out of the place we ate dinner outside in the backyard last night. Stir fry, you know how we do!

Plus Fred called to say there was a Bjork concert on the radio, so we sat in the dark and tuned in to enjoy all our favorite sounds: beats, brass, Malian blues guitar, Congolese mbira sound system...and Bjork!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY



















Mom and Raul, summer 06.

PS Raul, grandmothers are mothers too!
