Did he have a bite here? I don’t remember.

Welcome to Friday Photo, a new feature where I share photos that I've taken with the world.

Our guide casting. I forget why he was doing this, but I took a picture of it.

Yes, they’re really that tan. You spend 8 hours a day on the Gulf and you would be too.

Texas drops a class that, in theory, sounds good. In practice? Not so much.

Texas dropped their requirement for Health Ed classes:

Health class will no longer be a state requirement for high school students this fall, making Texas one of the few states in the country with no required health education, officials said.

Education Commissioner Robert Scott announced the move in a recent letter to school districts, causing some to worry Texas students will miss out on critical topics like alcohol awareness, sex education and basic nutrition.

Sure, you could argue that Texas students are now going to miss out on a lot. Or not.

I remember my health class. It was the second semester of my freshman year, taught by a coach who made it fairly obvious that she wanted to be anywhere but teaching that class. I felt like the first hour of my morning was a waste.

Not that I had a problem with that, mind you. I’m not a morning person. The only real class I had first thing in the morning was Algebra II my junior year, and I almost failed it. But that might have been because math’s not my strong suit.

Oh well, I still say good riddance to a useless class!

(Unless it’s first period, that is.)

You are what you eat. And apparently I’m cheesy… or something.

Welcome to Stupid Quiz Sunday, in which I'll take an online quiz that may or may not be stupid and post the results.

You Are Nachos
You are outgoing and generous. You love to share you life with other people.
You are carefree and light-hearted. You try to always make the best of things.

While you enjoy being with other people, you also value your alone time.
You like to reflect, think, and pick things apart. You like to study everything carefully.

You’re gonna want to throw that back

Welcome to Friday Photo, a new feature where I share photos that I've taken with the world.

My cousin Michael caught himself a yellow-fin tuna…

…and then threw it back.

According to our guides, yellow-fin tuna are pretty much inedible, so there was no point in keeping him. We took the picture because that fish really fought him.

I’d make a joke here, but that would be too easy…

Welcome to Stupid Quiz Sunday, in which I'll take an online quiz that may or may not be stupid and post the results.

You Are the Bedroom
You are an indulgent person. You enjoy rest, relaxation, and pampering.
You know how to find peace in a crazy life. You are good at unplugging.

You tend to be very private. You don't let just anyone in.
You are also a romantic. When you have someone, you tend to be very couple oriented.

If there’s anything in those results that’s blatantly wrong, it would be that I tend to be very “couple oriented,” whatever that means. A man needs his space!
