News on Wed.

After a fun filled four day fumble of fortune (I love alliteration), back to the grind. Here was what my weekend was like:
  • The vessel Prickly Pear hit international waters. Ok, not, but we did make it into long island sound, with no wind. grrr. Anchored for a bit then headed back up river...
  • Ian ran and fell so hard he broke the goggles he was wearing right off his face at the beach of an island we anchored off of... Got up like nothing happened and kept running. Mel and I couldn't keep from collapsing into hysterics...
  • Amazing fireworks. Got a spot right in front of the barge they were lit off from. Sure it took us 2 hours to get home (1.2 miles away...).
  • Kids and went to RI to my private surfing beach. (mel was working). A nice day with just the kids, waves, tide pool, sand and sneaking into a private beach...I enjoy playing dumb. Seriously, it is playing.
  • Another sailing trip, this time up river to our favorite lunch/swim hole. Good times. Water is a bit cold though and Ian hates the cold water
I have lots of photos to share, but Mel stole the camera today, so it will have to wait until tomorrow...

todays survey

Since you all have done so well with the past two surveys I've taken ( another shirt slogan for Dad and do you get full eating salad or just bored ), here is another: If you eat, say, a bag full of fortune cookies - and I am not saying I have - do they all come true or just a first/last rule? Do they all negate if you eat more than one? Anyone? Bueller?

And now we are One!!!!

Who would have thought: you would keep reading after day 3? I would keep writing after day 2? (see http://robertwmason.blogspot.com/ for reference) that you would get anything out of this? that I would get anything out of this? that I would make 250 posts into this thing..? And "get" I did. Last month, I signed my first contract for a writing position (in my free time) with a Rhode Island magazine. I used many excerpts from my blog as samples and they dug it, enough to want to pay me. I am very excited about that. A big thank you to all of you that keep reading that misadventures of my family, friends and I. The journey thus far has been fun and giving you a bird-eye view into our lives is weirdly fun. At first it was like walking around naked, now I am a full fledged nudist; so to speak. In looking back over the first year, I live like a king. Sometimes all it takes is a bit of reflection to see how good you've got it. Usually this hits me on business trips and ...

How I'll probably die

My new thing has gotten me running, yes running, the past week without complaint and without watching the clock. Unfortunately, the high-risk fringe sport will probably have Ian find me at the end of the treadmill runway, twisted, with a guitar slung from my neck. What is it you ask? Some kind of Mariachi Marathon? Close. Running while playing Guitar Hero is the greatest thing since running with my buddy Jeff. Come to think of it, that really was just running with someone calling you, "fatty" the whole time, but I digress. Running while jamming on guitar trying desperately to keep up with great hits like "American Women" and the surprisingly fitting, "Band on the run". See what I did there? Anyhow, it is freaking amazing. No longer are my eyes glued to the maddening clock. No longer am looking at data (which I seem to hate when it is counting my exercise), I am playing a game. I am a Rock God when I run. Now, I know what you are thinking. Being a...
