Yes, wow, it has been a looong time. I know my fans are impatient, but loyal, so here goes the latest that I can remember mostly due to the fact that I turned 31 this month. Yes, and for those that are geared-up to drop a comment, just remember that I buy most of you birthday presents!! On a sad note, I will pay my respects to my wife's grandfather, who passed away last month suddenly. The amount of loss that I observed suffered from one family was a sure testament to the man that he was. A life lesson I suppose to enjoy each day to the fullest, even in foreign countries with 'swamp ass'. (haha)
For my birthday, my wife took me to Boston, MA, for the weekend. It was a blast. For those that haven't been, please get up there, and take me again with you. Friday we hit up the aquarium, and then Cheers. My favorite part of Cheers was texting my buddy that I had to take a huge crap in the bathroom...take that Norm!! Saturday, we took the Boston DUCK TOUR, and then visited one of the greatest places on earth....the Samuel Adams Boston Lager factory!! See attached photo. And yes, I had free beer of course, and bought my brother a 'perfect pint' glass, which he will get and receive explanation about same when he returns next month. We never got into Fenway due to private tours, but drank in a pup outside it (close enough I think). Saturday night we ate dinner atop the Prudential building at 52 stories high. We had dinner with the view of the city around us...pretty sweet!!
When I returned, my wife's brother had his baby girl, and we got over to see little Lilliana (spelling). This name came to some (T-bone) as a shock since she has been struggling for girl names with big Joe. I am sure they will pick a great name if they get that 1/2 of the coin soon. She is quite pretty and also quite the screamer...big lungs on that girl. I told Mike that he should check on the mailman, since his daughter is way too cute to have come from his loins (joke).
Last Friday was a great night of music when the wifey and I got to see Pearl Jam in Camden, NJ. For those who haven't gone, they put on a crazy show, and come highly recommended. It brought me back to my younger days when I couldn't stand Pearl Jam, and busted my brother's balls for listening to such non-metal music. Things sure come fully around the circle I suppose. The same weekend the US-side of the family went up to Mer's house to celebrate. The little girls are getting very big. Shannon is very similar each time, but Sloane is on the juice I think. I have never seen a baby get so large so quickly. We had a bench off, and I just barely won. Both received 110% of my time and attention as they well deserved!!
Lastly, my wife and I bought a new (used) car this evening and then bought a new back door for our house, since the old one is in NEED of replacement. The car is a Ford Explorer to be utilized only to bring this family and puppy (see photo of same beast) around when it is needed. The Chevy will be used on all other occasions in order to save on the petroleum costs. The Ford is a sweet vehicle to drive though, I must admit.
To Patrick, I cannot wait to see you. You look fierce with HUUGE arms in your recent pictures. I don't think you do any running over there, just bicep curls!! I cannot wait to have a beer with you, and relax a little in your company. I have saved seeing Indiana Jones to when we can both go see it. You are missed, come home soon!! GOODNITE ALL, ENJOY THE PICS.
