Thursday’s drive SUCKED!! According to the GPS it was 167 miles from where we were in Maryland to my sisters place on Long Island. The drive should have taken 3 hrs and 15 minutes.

FIVE hours later we pulled into my sisters driveway!  Take a good look at the photo, what don’t you see? Motion blur! Don’t let the very fast shutter speed fool you, it’s because we were sitting still, just like we were for portions of the NJ Turnpike, I-278 on Staten Island and the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn.

On the bright side? Thursday night Veronica and I are sleeping in a room without kids. Friday we’re driving home, without the kids and we’ll be kid-free until Tuesday afternoon. We’re hoping to arrange some quality adult fun while we have the chance :-)

8:00am and she’s looking out the window, making sure it’s not raining. By 9:00am she had asked if was time to go to the pool at least a hundred times!  Somebody was excited about going swimming at grandma’s house! By the end of the day, I bet she spent 2+ hours in the water.

Day 234 – 10 and 2

I swear, Veronica’s hands NEVER deviate from the textbook 10-and-2 position!

=============================

It’s road trip week for us. DB’s summer camp is over and school doesn’t start until August 31, so Veronica and I used some vacation time and took the family on the road. Sunday we drove from our home in the Boston suburbs to my mom and step-dads home in the Pittsburgh area, with a pit stop in State College PA & Penn State University along the way. If you follow me on Twitter you might know this already, there were a few tweets along the way!

We’ll be here until Wednesday, then it’s off to Maryland for a day followed by a stop in NY and a visit with other extended family members.

Perhaps the best part of the trip?

Veronica and I return home on Friday, WITHOUT THE KIDS!! They’re staying in NY for some extra quality time with grandparents, aunts and uncles. We’ll be kid-free for 4 days.

Whatever will we do with ourselves? ;-)

36/365 The place that shall not be named

The astute observer will notice the lack of ice and snow in this photograph, in contrast to damn near every other outdoor photograph I’ve posted in the last month.  I got up Friday morning and headed south to visit a friend, I’ll be heading home later today.  We spent some time walking around the riverfront area and we noticed this blue heron (that’s what she said it is) , so we waited so that I could get some pictures of it in flight.

105 mm macro lens, ISO 200, F/8, 1/60 sec

Time: 11:00 am
Place: riverside

Damn, I wish I used a faster shutter speed and lower f-stop, I would have gotten a sharper image.
Still, I like the bird’s reflection in the water

WW- Forgot Something

Veronica and I each had our little packing lists for our rendezvous in Dallas last weekend.

Leave it to me to forget a very important item.  Fortunately it was something Veronica could easily get while she waited for me to arrive!

*click-click*
No, I wasn’t in her pussy ;-)
And no, the picture isn’t as explicit as suggested…

Day 178- New Beer and New Glass

 Tagged with: , , ,
Jun 272010
 

My favorite local liquor store always has a nice variety of microbrew and craft beers, so sometimes I’ll pick up a 6-pack of something I’ve never had before. I like brown ales and I like chocolate labs, so I figured I couldn’t go wrong with this beer!

A trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame would not be complete without souvenirs, right? Darling Boy got his first baseball (yeah yeah I know….), we all got t-shirts and I got this beer glass.  I tested the glass Saturday- it took a few beers, but I’ve determined that it works just fine :-)

Day 174- Mmm Ice Cream…

On our way from upstate NY to my moms in the Pittsburgh area, we had to stop by Penn State University’s Berkey Creamery.

The food science program was good enough for Ben and Jerry, yes THAT Ben and Jerry, when they wanted to learn how to make ice cream, so how bad could it be?  Pretty damn good, actually!

For an extra $5, not only do you get the neat thermal bag, they even fill it with enough dry ice for the trip!
We got 2 pints of Peachy Paterno (really!) for my step-dad and 1/2 gallon of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough for the rest of us.

Day 173- Where it all began

September 29, 1990, a Saturday night party in the basement apartment of this fine example of student housing, Veronica and I met.  We’ve literally been together as a couple ever since.  It was fun going back there and showing the kids around town and bringing them inside a few of the buildings where we spent the bulk of a our time as students.

Remember my Radio Days post from a month or so ago?  You know the one, Veronica joins me in the student radio station while I’m producing a remote broadcast of a football game and we decide to fuck in the record library?

Unfortunately the station no longer exists, but when it did the middle window on the 2nd floor was the broadcast studio and the window to the right of that was the record library.  Ahh memories :-)

The main entrance, viewed from across the street

I love that there are so many actual game items to be found here, but still, seeing some of them amazed me.  Here are about 10 of Hank Aaron’s home run balls, spanning career home runs 700-720, including the one he hit to tie Babe Ruth’s record!

Of course, no visit would be complete without some serious time spent in the Hall of Fame Plaque Gallery.  Here are the first 5 inductees, from the Class of ’36, Babe Ruth, Christy Mathewson, Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, and Walter Johnson.

Some items in the Hall of Fame are more whimsical than others, such as this handsome creature!  Click it for an explanation.  This display lead to random outbursts of “Holy Cow!” from Princess Persistent for the rest of the day!

=============================================================

Monday Veronica and I will be taking a trip down memory lane, as we drag the kids to the college town where she and I met almost 20 yrs ago.  We haven’t been back there since we passed thru on our way to friends wedding in 1997, so I’m really looking forward to it!

Or as she says “more accurately, burn lines!”

It looks like Southern Vixen’s cousin Rhonda missed some spots well she helped Veronica apply sunscreen when they were hanging out by the pool on Friday ;-)
