A scenic commute always helps.

That makes me want to go fishing.

After the past few years of dealing with my cancer, my wife getting surgery for a brain anurism(and look up woven endo bridge, my wife is I think now able to be classified as a cyborg)and my parents medical issues have been so exhausting.

So the past six months I've just been focused on trying to be less worried on the future and enjoy the...

If haven't done, ( somewhat in your backyard ) Rhinebeck Aerodrome, Rhinebeck, NY., and go up in the Barnstormer. Drive out to New Mexico and do Roswell & Carlsbad Cavern. If going overseas, stay in the Inn in Wall England that has roots in Roman times and see Hadrian's Wall.

If you’re near Missouri you could check out Lake of the Ozarks. It’s beautiful here with lots of shopping and great eats.

Good news. I became a great uncle again yesterday but to a baby boy for the first time. Not that it means much but the family name will continue on for a while longer.

So my niece is getting married in a somewhat unconventional manner that I totally wish I had done. Having a big party tonight and a very small private service on all hallows eve. Since my wife made all her birthday cakes growing up she asked for her to make her cake for tonight's party. Three tiers decorated with six pounds of buttermilk frosting and three...

I have done a couple Halloween themed weddings though one of them was actually on new year's Eve. Fun times.

Just wanted to post this pic because it may just look like string beans in a a pan but it's actually string beans in a pan frying in duck fat.

Because cooking anything in duck fat becomes amazing!

chefdaddy:
Truth. Duck fat makes many things better
ferkixlll:
One of the few things that's better than bacon.

This local church that I have to drive by all the time has one of those signs that they can change all the time. Two weeks ago the sign said ...

"Dont let your past dictate your future."

Aren't you the guys that are following a religion that started 2000 years ago? Maybe you should accept a more recent concept like the scientific method

Oh...

Late on day 9 of my 9 day vacation. As always with the inlaws much good food, drink, games, and an awesome amount of inappropriate jokes and behavior.

Will try to check on blogs as soon as possible but I may need a little rest from my vacation.winkbiggrin
wsoxfan:
What's really inappropriate, I ask myself a lot these days. Glad you had a good time.

Going upstate for vacation starting tomorrow. Nine straight days of food, tasty drinks, fishing, games, and other inappropriate behavior. No TV, radio, or cell service available at the campground.

So have a great week and Ill try to catch up when I can.

Brief review of MVs life.

Work--sucks every more each day. Trying to handle the job three people used to do. Raise was equal to six ten thousands of a percent of their gross income last month.
I don't think they know I can access their financial info.

Good news : Camper is fixed and ready to go up to lake george. O happy weekend.
marvel:
Hooray for camping! Heckler and I will be going camping in two weeks biggrin
wsoxfan:
That should be a great trip. I used to visit Lake George in the 80s when Annete and I, along with two other couples used to attend the races at Saratoga for a week during August.

There was a fancy restaurant near Lake George where I was introduced to the best pate in the universe. It remains the most delicious thing I've ever eaten.

I know that memorial day is supposed to remind us of those brave people that have given their lives for our freedom but a different memory is held for me. A very good friend died on memorial day on what also happened to be his 25th birthday. It's been many years but the...

I'm very lucky to have had her in my life, and just as lucky that she's chosen to still be a part of it.
