Great weather, good company, and plenty of stories that will probably get better every time they’re told.

“Kieran hopes everyone had a great time at the 6th Annual Steve Krause Classic. Everyone gets a smiley face… except Chris Cobb. He gets a frowny face. He knows what he did.”

-Buddha

We’re already looking forward to next year.
