Update -- Kickball & Kegger Fest

In my haste to publish photos from last weekend's Fest, I neglected to mention that one of the high points of the day was the celebration of Cate's birthday, which is today.

Cate occupys a "transcendental" role in John's life occupied by few other than family and the closest of friends. Cate went to the same elementary school as did John. After the 7th grade, when John moved to Europe with his family, they grew apart. Unbeknownst to both of them, in the meantime, John's younger brother Mike became good friends with Stryker while in college. One day, Mike gets John together with his buddy, Stryker, and Stryker's then girlfriend (eventual wife), Cate, and together, John and Cate come to the realization after ten years or more that they had shared an entire elementary school life together. Stryker felt like a third wheel the rest of that evening as Cate and JW caught up on each others lives.

Ever since, both Cate and Stryker have been an important part of John's existance, even to this day. As such, it is only fitting that we were able to celebrate, with a good part of her family, Cate's birthday today at John's Fest last Saturday.
