Will 2B King

Do you like meat? Yes, sometimes. it seems to be getting a pretty bad rap lately.  So many documentaries, methane gases, cruelty issues, blood and guts. Basically, the world feels like it's turning its back on red meat in many ways.  Oh, wait a minute. We are at the Elks in this picture. Forget everything you just read because it's Cook Your Own Steak Night at the 322 Lodge.   Cowboy cuts, big 'ole slabs of American grown moo-cow. That's Will holding two giant margaritas.  No holding back.  We eat veggie burgers, protein shakes, almond milk smoothies and caffeine-free drinks most of the time in our lives.  Then you know what happens next?  Burn all that shit to the ground by eating a fat steak and 16 ounces of sweet tequila bliss.  Balance.

Measure Twice, Cut Once You know those intense chores that you know are going to take a long-ass time because there are so many steps and coordination, that you put it off for months and don't do it? Well, we have a patio set with cushions, and the covers had progressively decayed to the point that no one wanted to sit on them, except Frida of course.  In comes Will to help out.  Never done a sewing project before, new spring chicken, and he is going to do all the measuring and cutting of the fabric. No Big Deal. I was stationed at the sewing machine so that we could get the project done quicker.  Will measured and cut all the fabric and he wasn't even wearing a shirt.  No shirt!  You'd think I would be too distracted to get any sewing done, and I admit that did slow me down.   This list of things Will can do just keeps growing.  I hope that NASA isn't reading this blog and realizing that they should come to sweep him up, give him...

So Mavericks goes to Dog School now. He's officially all growed up!  Yes, I know that's not grammatically correct and I am currently ignoring the red underline, thanks for your concern. Mavs ad Will OWNED the Agility class that they enrolled in last month. I know I am biased when it comes to dog love, but this boy was King Dog of the class. Because Will loves Mavericks so much, he got him this class for his 6th birthday.  Maybe not as exciting as a steak in his bowl, but longer-lasting over time.   Mavericks mastered jumps, ramps, weave and of course the tunnel.  He showed us that he truly is a smart animal, (eating poop had us a little shaken on that one) and that he can listen to instruction, follow hand signals, and maintain focus over a long hour of instruction. Mavs and Will later relaxed and enjoyed some Agility AKC Championships via YouTube on the couch afterward, just for inspiration.  Well-balanced, dog life.

Is it possible we haven't touched on bikes yet on this blog?  It's not true, is it? Will and Miles after a muddy SRAM Brah Birthday Ride In this day and age, mountain bikes, or as I like to refer to them, salaries with wheels, are meant to be out in the rough getting pushed to their limits!   I have only caught a glimpse of the mud and sweat and dirt.  Only a whisper about the breakdowns, flats and jammed up components on these works of art.  Will knows the value of any possession is only what you can get out of it.  Things aren't meant to be put on the shelves and admired. So you go get it, Will, ride that muddy trail, and show it who's jefe.

                         At the Getty Museum and Hearst Castle, models watch out!  So, the first thing the reader might pick up on here is a theme of art love.    I won't pause here to point out the general coincidences and commonalities of these two photos, but I will note the definitive joy present on Will's face. Neither of these poses was coached or constructed by the photographer, which clearly shows Will's acute appreciation and ability to express himself creatively.  Talk about a well-rounded guy.    

Everyone, Come Over Here, and See How Good I Look Will King gets dressed up sometimes, hell, we all do, for the right reasons.  Will has an easy time looking good because he sticks to a few simple rules.  Here they are but you can't copycat them, okay?   1.  Follow rules and break them at the same time.  Put simple color palate together, black, navy, white.  Break the rules, by making Converse All-Stars your formal dress shoes.   2. It's all about confidence.  Wearing a smile and personal knowledge that you are clean, fresh and owning it is much more important than how much you spent on a shirt.  A lot of people in this world struggle with this one.  I think that's because money is synonymized with success.  Okay already forget the psych analysis. 3. He brings a cute date with him.  Peace!
