Mr. Clean (a.k.a. Uncle Kevin)



My cousin, Kevin, has been on the road a lot for his work. This weekend, he found himself about an hour-and-a-half away from us and made the trek in to visit the new kid on the block. Technically, Jack and Kevin are cousins, but Kevin has always been a brother to me, so he is Uncle Kevin.

Kevin's work-truck is an F350 Super Duty with a 75-gallon auxiliary diesel tank in the bed. He turned a few heads driving that beast into our fairly urban neck of the woods. Thank goodness we don't live in DC-proper anymore. I'm sure he would have been stopped by somebody.

As you can see in the short video below, Uncle Kevin was a natural with Jack.



We enjoyed a beautiful Sunday afternoon chatting about Kev's new house, the upcoming holidays and, of course, home projects. Kevin has his hands full finishing the inside of his house, while Jen and I are looking at a major backyard project this spring to create a hospitable play environment for Jack. Kevin had some excellent suggestions on design and execution.

We also went on a nice walk through Del Ray, and Uncle Kevin bought a couple of dessert treats for us all at Mancini's. Jen claimed that the cats ate half her chocolate cupcake before dinner, but I'm not buying that story.
