Why Jake on Austin Friday? 1. Who else makes Jake smile like this? And 2. What would Austin like on Austin Friday but Jake?
And it looks like he's getting just that this last Friday of 2011. All signs point to Jake finishing up 2011 the way it started at LAX.

And just like Austin there was a lot of Jake to see this year.
He flew back

and forth

North (CA)

South (TX)

domestic

and international

Had hair

then no hair

then really hairy

He ate

and ate

and ate

and ate

and drank

and drank

and drank ... coffee

He saw the Dr.

again

again

and again.

He went blue

and brown

and tan

and green

He booted up

and showed off the specs

and got Wild


He kicked and punched

and ran

and spun.
He gave back

and grew

Road the rails


took the Truckster

and shot steel

He talked about movies

was nominated for a movie

celebrated movies


made movies

and went to movies

There was a familiar ring

and familiar friends

a familiar smile

He took big steps

and followed his heart.
And in the "how big is my backpack race", Jake might have this one.
