And finally, we've a boat. Again


Well, being boatless didn't last long. Honestly, I don't know how you boatless people bear it. The shear boredom, the inability to look down your nose at others. I mean where you do you sip your champagne and munch on your caviar?

Perhaps I am getting ahead of myself. The Pear (old boat) is safely at its new home in Kentucky (heck yeah!) while our new boat, shown here, is on Long Island. We've be working on her like thieves to bring her to this side of the Sound. Anyone like to sand teak? Applications are being accepted.

We are thrilled. She sleeps 6 (the boat I am talking about here) and is roomy and big in the cockpit so we can have all of you out (well, not at once). She has a spinnaker and lots of fun equipment, like a bimini too keep my head from getting sunburned. hooray!

So, please, stop up this summer and come for a sail so we can recall the good times when my kids ask why they have to go to a state college...

Oh, we are renaming her "Taino". First one to guess why in the comments wins something shiny. oooooh.

Taino, rhymes with Drano which is where boat owners put their money.

Isn't it a tribal nation of Puerto Rico?

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....
