Dadda Birthday
I turned 35 years old today, on July 11! It was only 35 short years ago that I was born.
My family and I started off the weekend by going to Blanco State Park, swimming and eating some good BBQ! We then went to the refreshingly cold waters of Blue Hole in Wimberley.
For my birthday, I went sailing on Lake Travis with a friend on his new sailboat, the Wiki Wiki! Then my friends and family met at the Shuck Shack for horseshoes and some good cajun style sea food and BP Gulf Oil free BBQ oysters!
Matthew Comer turns 35! While matthewcomer.com is only 7 years young.

On the flip side, this site, matthewcomer.com is about 7 years old. I lost the domain name for a while. It expired and was kidnapped and ransom was demanded by a group of Kenyan rebels. They demanded $200 dollars in their crude extortion plot, in what is commonly done to domain names that expire. I think it was directly related to an online chat gone bad between the technical support team at aplus.net, formerly www.names4ever.com and myself. These were the days before godaddy.com and what has become their ever increasing price plans, annoying advertisements, and convoluted site structure and features. I digress, during these, what are now known as the dark years, the alternate site of matthewcomer.net was born. In due time, I received the rights to the domain name that I once own, I was victorious over the Kenyan tribe and will stand strong against future battles.
Happy Birthday America!
The Comer Family enjoyed a great weekend on Lake Travis. We stayed up there from Friday until Monday. We spent July 3rd at Brittney and Cary's house at their annual Fish Fry. Cary caught all of the catfish, yellow, and blue all week. They were so fresh!! And Harry used his recipe to coat the fish, mmmm good!! I made some jalapeno poppers, too. It rained a little, but that didn't dampen our appetites for food and fun. Afterwards, we all went to the Piranha Club (FICA) for like the 10th annual fireworks show. This year we watched from the boat of a pledge brother's, Mark. It was great!
We woke up on my personal "Groundhog Day", July 4, and did it all again. More boating, more fireworks, more fish, and even some grilled piconia brazilian beef tri-tips. It is one of the best 4th of July celebrations that I can remember, key point, that I can remember.
All of the kids had a wonderful time, Garrett, Grace, and Cade!!
OMG, it’s been too long
Sorry, people have been requesting that we update this with pictures, and I am only here updating it with words. GMAC is out of his toddler-teens and now 20 months old. Grace is 6 months old now. She is sitting up and rolling over. And as of today rolling over both ways!!
They are great!! But the reason that Jenny and I have not updated this page is oh sooo long, is we are just getting by with these little ones, from early in the morning until late at night. Two under 2, 14 months apart can be a lot of work. Don't get me wrong, we love every single minute of it, I'm just tying to explain why we have slacked on this site.
Also, everybody look at the new http://matthewcomer.com site, it has some updates.
