Shakemore 2014

Annual Shakemore wild rumpus. Goodness all 'round.

Thanks to the Fair brothers (see Half-Japanese etc) and the whole Shakemore musical revue for the fine times, spiritual conjuring, brain and body re-grooving, and, well, nicely-done hummus.

Oh, and John Moremen played an SG. This is news.

Images of this year's always wonderful Independence Day Parade in Takoma Park, Maryland.

Thanks again to the Dream Diva of Maple Avenue, Dale Denton, for her always cheerful and excellent party hosting. 

SkillsUSA Conference 2014

I covered the 50th National Skills Leadership Conference of SkillsUSA in Kansas City, MO. This was my 29th year documenting this national-level student skilled trades competition.

15,000+ people attended this year. It's quite an event.

Thanks to Tom Hall, Craig Moore, Ann Schreiber, and Tom Kercheval of SkillsUSA. Y'all are great to work with.
