And we spent Memorial Day at the ballpark, watching our Sox, who are red, lose to the Sox, who are white. It's Monday, Memorial Day, and we've already had great intentions twice and they both were somewhat thwarted. So, before I say more, I'm going to knock on wood, because we are going to the Sox this evening with the best intentions of them winning. And, yeah, three strikes. Sunday, after church, we drive out to Cormier Woods. The good thing, I reckon, is that we drove the Boston Marathon route. After ...

Despite my mother and brother's canceled flights due to the Blizzard of 10, my two buddies Blair and Daniel were able to fly in and enjoy the snow that they rarely get in Bama, except this year which left them with five inches on Christmas day in the South. They'd flown in so we could go catch Phish for the first time in ten years together. Had a blast. I'd talk more about it, but I don't need to. Cause it's all in my brain. Glad they made it up and we got to kick it like old times and sled like new times.

I finally got a horse for my birthday. Or at least a ride on one. I'd noticed a while back that our joint calendar had "something special for a special birthday" marked down for Saturday June 25, the weekend preceding my birthday. Micah likes to do surprises for me occasionally, just something he likes planning I guess. In Weston, MA, about 45 minutes away, if that. (did you see the funny horse cartoon on their web page? Yeah, that was on their sign too - so funny! After stopping for a quick water break ...

I miss our old neighborhood at times. Like today, when I went and saw some amazing things going on in a space just a few blocks from our old place. Things like letterpressing and videography and web design and architecture and all kinds of other things under one roof called the Fringe Movement. I went to see a guy who I know that makes amazing films called Paper Fortress. And another guy called Repeat Press. Who I'd been wanting to swing by and see, who makes prints like they did in the 1890s. Well, thos...

Yesterday felt like a throwback. Back before a thousand people took up skiing and snowboarding a day. Back before the world was hot and crowded and melting. Back before I was born and my wife was born and back before our parents might have even been born. Back when snowflakes looked like snowflakes. Stowe was empty. The Ski Capital of the East was barren. I think it was the best day of skiing I've had in my life. Labels: greater new england. After and Happily Ever After. I really could ruin this surprise.

Blogston, Mass: Akron's finest.
http://blogstonmass.blogspot.com/2011/08/akrons-finest.html
We spent the past weekend in Akron, OH, for our dear friend Jonas' wedding. It was Marianna's first trip to Ohio (maybe last? And Jonas' first trip down the isle (certainly the last). Also, while on the road, we got a huge blog mention for Old Try. So, we fielded a boatload of emails and took some orders and found while in Ohio that this crazy idea just might work. Aw thanks, guys! Super sweet of you to come - we loved having you there! September 14, 2011 at 10:40 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Blogston, Mass: Finally to an Island.
http://blogstonmass.blogspot.com/2011/07/finally-to-island.html
Finally to an Island. It has been four years and the one thing we haven't done is make it to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. Well, we wrapped one of those yesterday. We scored first class ferry tickets from a daily deal site, and so we caught an early morning ferry out across the 30 miles of open seas that live between the mainland and rich. Labels: greater new england. July 25, 2011 at 10:16 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). We've got another blog! THANKS FOR COMING TO SEE US. Finally to an Island.

A while ago, amidst the move and before the NW trip, a bunch of women from my church gathered to make Little Dresses for Africa - or, more specifically, Little Dresses for the Dominican Republic. The idea started when Karen found out about the initiative – littledressesforafrica.org. The original organization sends dresses to orphanages in Central Africa, which then distribute them out to little girls. Since Reunion (our church) has been doing mission trips to the Dominican Republic for the last 3 ye...

Sorry we haven't posted. I've been out of town doing some serious editing for my serious Texas trip, and we're about to pack for Kenya. But, I did just stay in a 40 sq. ft. room in The Jane Hotel. What a cool place. In 1912, the survivors of the Titanic stayed at the hotel until the end of the American Inquiry into the ship’s sinking. The surviving crew held a memorial service at the hotel four days after the ship sank. Which got me craving some fried dough. Which got me to remembering that there is one ...

Walk into the frame store. Pick out mattes for our diplomas. It's the first Saturday of the college football season. We are wearing our respective school colors. Get a bit skiddish about the cost of one of the mattes. Downgrade to something more manageable. Clearly, the man thinks we're young (because we look smashing) and poor (clear from buying IKEA frames and buying designer mattes). Congratulations on your graduations. That's exciting.". Hark the sound of Tar Heel voices. Ringing clear and True.
