Kevin, seen here riding the Golden Bear, and I had such a fun time at the State Fair watching Ozomatli, teasing the carnies, watching the fireworks, ragging on some of the art in the exhibition center and of course, chowing on a Texas twisted doughnut.

Hayes, the great great grandfather of Lauren Hayes, my old junior high chum. That’s only four degrees of separation! Of course, one has to go back generations but… 😉
