Hopstretch Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 The ice cream truck drove by the house for the first time this Spring. Great excitement!
riceboy Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) Ran at the beach, record shopping in honor of National Record Shop Day and tonight is Beerfest. This sounds like a fantastic day. I haven't ran at the beach in a while. When I do regularly I loved it. Something about the clean salt air that made me feel rejuvenated. Have a great time at Beerfest. Edited April 18, 2009 by riceboy
Salt Peanuts Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 Finally got around to doing some yard cleaning today with the weather and our schedule cooperating for the first time since all the snow melted couple of weeks ago. Now I get to address our wedding invitations.
Hopstretch Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 It started raining around 3:30 p.m. here, so I told the kids they could watch "Horton Hears A Who", which was their Netflix pick this month. To which magnanimous offer the four-year-old casually responds: "DVD or Blu-ray?"
n_maher Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 Left Lily with Nana and Papa for the night so the wife and I could catch a sox game in Boston.
Voltron Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 Left Lily with Nana and Papa for the night so the wife and I could catch a sox game in Boston. Noice! Get an Italian sausage with peppers and onions on Landsdown Street for me and tell me how great it was! A little vicarious reminder of my Boston years. Have a great time, sausage or not.
Hopstretch Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 A little vicarious reminder of my Boston years. I knew you seemed more civilized than your average left coaster.
Voltron Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 I knew you seemed more civilized than your average left coaster. I resemble that remark! Lived in Newton and Watertown for 3 years during law school. Hung out plenty at Fenway, Wally's, Tim's, B&D Deli, etc. Loved Boston and Mass. but still couldn't give up my leftist leanings.
n_maher Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 Two vodka tonics down - many more to go. We're across the street from the park watching Dinny's Yankees get shelled.
Hopstretch Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 Hope it doesn't rain on you, Nate. Looks a bit dark out here in the burbs.
n_maher Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 Hope it doesn't rain on you, Nate. Looks a bit dark out here in the burbs. Our seats are under cover so we should be ok regardless but all the same it's be nice if it was dry. Onto V&T #3.

grawk Posted April 19, 2009 Report Posted April 19, 2009 drove 180 miles each way to rehobeth beach, delaware. Spent 20 minutes waiting in line. Bought some stuff, then went to a crab place for dinner (wait at the aformentioned place was 90 minutes for dinner, too long for the kids). Then drove home.
tyrion Posted April 19, 2009 Report Posted April 19, 2009 Nate, glad you got a chance to get out for a night. It sounds like you enjoyed it. I went to another lame Fort Lauderdale Beerfest. Too small an area for too many people. The beer was average at best. My wife joined me which was good as I was able to get two for ones all night since she doesn't drink beer. I also didn't have to worry about driving home. Hit 5 Guys on the way home.
The Monkey Posted April 19, 2009 Report Posted April 19, 2009 does it still smell of smoke? Nope. Nice and leathery!

I need to venture out to one of the New York are Five Guys as i have really missed those cajun fries.
Hopstretch Posted April 19, 2009 Report Posted April 19, 2009 Went to the diner for pancakes, then the farm down the road so the wife could buy flowers for the window boxes and the kids could feed the ducks. Now tasked with getting the patio furniture out of the shed and changing out the windows for screens on the back porch. Sun, sun, sun, here it comes.
The Monkey Posted April 19, 2009 Report Posted April 19, 2009 Two vodka tonics down - many more to go. We're across the street from the park watching Dinny's Yankees get shelled. That was as bad a beating as I have seen. I was fortunate not to watch it, but managed to turn on SportsCenter just as the "highlights" were rolling.
en480c4 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Posted April 19, 2009 Drove an hour north to deliver my Jeep to its new owner Now someone just needs to buy my GTI and I'll be happy again.
n_maher Posted April 19, 2009 Report Posted April 19, 2009 Nate, glad you got a chance to get out for a night. It sounds like you enjoyed it.Thanks Mike, it was a great time until we tried to get home. The stupid marathon had so many streets shut down that we had to drive nearly an hour out of the way just to get out of the friggen city. Boston is a nightmare to navigate when everything is open, close a bunch of streets and I'm not sure we could have made it without GPS. This morning, woke up, went to breakfast with the wife, grocery shopping, now it's down to the woodshop to have a little fun. We don't pick Lily up till later in the afternoon. This day just feels weird.
Voltron Posted April 19, 2009 Report Posted April 19, 2009 That was as bad a beating as I have seen. I was fortunate not to watch it, but managed to turn on SportsCenter just as the "highlights" were rolling. Great stats in the Times today: over 16,500 Yankee games, approximately 148,500 innings, and that was the first one in which they gave up 14 runs. Must have been horrific to watch. At least my boy Timmy Lincecum had a good outing but the Giants still managed to choke in the 9th. Glad I sent my nephews with my tickets because that would have hurt also. Not as bad as 22-4 and a 14 run inning against you, but hurt nonetheless.
