Memorial Day Weekend in Kansas
 Holidays, Kansas City, Suki, The Horners, The Koellers

Spent the long Memorial Day weekend in Kansas, catching up with friends and family. The entire weekend pretty much consisted of eating, lounging around the pool and eating. A strange family photo around the dining table, emphasizing potato chips and brisket Buddy the Wonder Dog (per my dad) A bunch of ribeyes headed to the grill Dad, mom, me and Suki Me and dad...

Here are a few proofs for this year's holiday photo. I've taken the liberty of selecting the first photo as our official Holiday Portrait, though the others are also quite nice. After the first photo, we hit the road and took to the skies to meticulously replicate this same photos at iconic locales around the globe. First draft of the photo in Olathe, Kansas (click to enlarge) Take 2 at our Villa at Parrot Cay in the Turks & Caicos (click to enlarge) Take 3 after cocktails at the Forbidde...

Its That Time of the Year Again
 Birthdays, kriskoeller.com, The Horners, The Koellers, The Occhipintos

Thankfully, birthdays coming but once a year (although I do enjoy a breakfast of French toast, bacon, sausage, ham and eggs). I'm not saying which one is me in the photo below, but hopefully you've narrowed your choices to two. The Koeller Family circa 1971. In other milestones, this is the 2,000th blog entry on kriskoeller.com since the blog feature was added to the site in 2003 (though the site has been around since 1999)....

From the Archives

I was going through a bunch of old media files after a disk problem and found this from 1997? I'm pretty sure this was in Phoenix, but I don't recall the circumstances.

Holiday Sunset on Marco Island
 Beach, Marco Island, Sunset, The Horners, The Koellers, The Occhipintos, US Travel

We have a tradition in our family that requires you photograph the sunset on your first night in Marco Island and send it back to the family. This may sound warm and sentimental, but its really just to gloat, "I'm here, you're not, PBBBBPPPBPB...." Anyway, this year's photo: As usual, I had to fight these crowds to remain the sole person to ever photograph a Florida sunset (sarcasm). ...

Happy 25th Anniversary Kelly & Kirk!
 The Horners, The Koellers

25 years of marriage is a great story.  But so is my hair  in this photo.  1984 was a great time for center-part and feathering.  You can thank my dad for the greenish blond hue.  Being new to owning a swimming pool, he figured if a little chlorine is good for the pool, then a tone of chlorine must be great.  Lastly, the tuxedo jacket I'm wearing in this picture was about 4-5 inches too short.  Despite rolling up my sleeve, there's only so much you can do to conceal that... ...

Watch Kellan Horner's TV Interview
 The Horners, Video

My nephew is a finalist (15 out of 2,200) in a national inventor's competition exploring innovative uses for Bubble Wrap.  Kellan has been a bit of a media sensation lately in the Kansas City press, a notoriously slow news town.  Kellan is predicting success.  On a scale of 10? He predicts, "10". Click here to watch the TV interview.  I wasn't able to embed the video on this site. ...

The Few, the Proud, the CRV...
 The Horners

Kelsi once again proved her mettle by choosing a quality vehicle that is both pragmatic and emblematic of her superior character. Yes, she drives a CRV...a silver one, no less. She doesn't yet know how to drive a clutch, but I understand those lessons are forthcoming. I know she's excited; for the new car, about learning to to drive a clutch and for her upcoming road trip to San Francisco. 1,823 miles in about 30 hours. Learn that clutch, however. The hills here are brutal......
