Tucker Robbins

James Tucker Robbins (a.k.a. "Tucker"): While I am proud to be the latest in a long line of "James" in our family, for the sake of originality I am going to go by "Tucker" for now. Tucker the boy, not the car, the guy with the bow tie on Fox or the player of the year candidate from Wisconsin. With Parents from Baltimore, I'm just happy I didn't wind up with something too cutsie (Skip, Scooter, etc.) and/or androgynous (Carey, Casey, etc.).

Guitar Heroes

Watch out ZZ Top, we have some outstanding matching outfits in this band. Though with turned up collars on crab motif polo shirts, we are more likely to be playing boat christenings and debutante balls than roadhouse bars.

NB: Savvy guitar players will take note of the fact that I am playing a right-handed guitar upside down with my left hand. Pretty soon I will be picking out my curls, playing the guitar with my teeth and lighting this baby on fire!

Mr. June

I enjoy long walks on the beach, gourmet food, art and anything involving water.

Turn ons: Goldfish, labrador retrievers and live music.

Turn offs: Clothing, sunscreen and long flights.

What do you think ladies - feel like joining me for dip in the pool?

First Breadsticks

Let's see. . . Murphy's? Check.

Playing with a dog on the green? Check.

Stock photo in front of the library to send home to the folks paying the bills? Check.

That leaves us at EBA's to close out the evening with my first taste of breadsticks and ranch dressing. If a picture is worth a thousand words, I'm wondering when these guys will get a Michelin star or two.

Down in One

Umm, sort of an awkward transition from the previous photo, but I'm just trying to slide into the "work hard, play hard" ethos of this place. We had to stop rolling film after this - it got pretty ugly - I don't remember much of it, but I'm told I mooned Parkhurst Hall. OK, maybe I just rolled over during a diaper change, but you get the picture.

Baker Tucker

"Baker Tucker" sounds like a law firm doesn't it?

All kidding aside, this photo is for you Grandpa!

Fish Face

I don't know if it is the crisp New Hampshire air, or what, but these goldfish are outrageous.

Howard

Shortly after arriving on the green, I met Howard, a miniature "bubba."

Dadu spun some yarn about this mythical place where dogs roam freely around campus and are even allowed to come and go in and out of classrooms as they please. Is he pulling my leg?

Murphy's On The Green

What better way to kick off Dadu's college reunion than lunch at Murphy's followed by a stroll across campus? Now if they would just let me out of this contraption, I could run barefoot on the green.
