Dillusions of granduer


Well, here I sit, pretending to do work and all I can think of is a bigger boat. This is inspired by two conjoined facts:
  1. I just got an inflatable dinghy (i know where you pervs were headed with this...) for my birthday from Rob and parents (awesome gift by the way).
  2. Mel says it is ok.
Ok, #2 is a stretch, but she is coming around to the idea. We need a bigger boat, it is not a matter of want any more. Mel is not the acrobat she once was and trips to the bow are taxing with the current 20 footer...Plus, we could use a galley...

And now that we have our very own dinghy...life is grand. So much so that I just went out and got an application for a mooring at our local town mooring cove...

Of course, right now as I type this, I have 3 other browsers open to boat sale sites...I can't stop looking...it is a full blown obsession now.

Now they say that a boat is a just a hole in the water to throw money into and they are right (they tend to be right a lot I've noticed). But that doesn't matter. I am as giddy as a school girl. Oh, if you have $20k you'd like to invest, give me a ring...

So, if you've not been invited to join us on a boat trip it is becuase we can't have you. It is just to small...but the next boat...well, we'll figure out another excuse to keep you off... ha.

Ian goes Punk

It, of course is my fault. You could say that about most anything. But this, this is pure genius. Yesterday, he and I were headed to get haircuts. He says, "what kind of haircut are you getting Daddy?". I give my stock answer, "mohawk". He giggles and says, "me too, we'll be twins." He is smiling ear to ear. Next comes the part where I carefully extract myself from getting said mohawk. He says, "i don't care I am getting a mohawk." I saw ok thinking Mel will never allow. She says ok.

Five minute update

Sorry, 5 is all you get today...ok at least for now. Here are the top stories from the past week: Thanksgiving. What happens when you don't see family and don't eat Turkey? Not so bad, sorry family. We had a blast watching the parade in NYC, it was a beautiful warm day. The kids and mostly Mel enjoyed the floats and balloons. We'll be back next year. You can see a slide show of the images mel took, far too many up to the right -----> Best quote at a concert, Best thing to happen to my brother in front of me, "Sir, would you buy me a beer?" -underage girl at State Radio Concert. Probably the last 18 and older show we go to. Save the security team, we were the oldest folks there... And FYI, Rob didn't buy her one, what a good guy. Then we talked about if we'll still come to these concerts if Reagan happens to go to the same one... We decided she isn't leaving the house watching some young girl crowd surf... Prickly Pear is out of the water....
