easy live’n, musical goodness & random escapades

Andy & took off for a nice bike ride this afternoon. It wasn’t quite as long as the ride to Redhook, but it was a beautiful day to ride down to Alki Beach, grab a beer and enjoy the scenery before heading back up the hill home.

A voice from on high: “Hey, Abel, where’s your brother?”  Simple enough, but Cain had to be a smart ass in his response thus giving us the “Am I my brother’s keeper?” colloquialism which still lives on today.
