Our wings are not tired.

I’m back. A couple of weeks away from the Florida heat. Vacation was a good thing. It got down to 40F at night which for me is like free A/C. We stayed at my sister’s house, which was my home in my youth.

The boys had a great time at basketball camp in Syracuse. Brendon broke his finger 23 ½ hours into the camp, but he had great fun anyway.

The first night we were home we went to a graduation party for 2 sons of girlfriends of my youth. My family lives in a very small resort area. There were 31 in the HS graduation class. I haven’t danced so much in years.

We went on a trip to Maine with my mother and step-father to celebrate their anniversary. Didn’t take a lot of pictures because we were driving a lot. Very pretty coast.

Then we partied in Massachusetts at vw bug’s home and met new Buffistas. The bug parental units are very gracious hosts. Lots of great food and fireworks.

We had fireworks 3 times. First on the 3rd with vw, then on the 4th in Old Forge, then on the 6th when the boys went to the car races with grandpa. I love fireworks.

We spent a couple days at the Enchanted Forest in Old Forge, NY. It is a sprawling place in the mountains. Storybook paths through the woods, arcades, amusement rides, and lots of water slides. Quite fun.

And I took lots of pictures. Family stuff included because the page is for non-Buffista as well as Buffista loved ones. I hope you enjoy them.

Is this where we post imminent darkness? I can never remember.

Well, I will be. Probably. Going to Michigan for a wedding, Web access iffy (although I certainly hope there is some, because I have networking homework to do) until next Tuesday. Wish me train-ma, and socializing-ma, and I'm so not ready to go.

Thanks for the apartment-ma, everyone! I heard earlier today that I did indeed get it, and I'll sign the lease Friday and move in on Aug 15th! Yay!

Are you ready to be strong?

For those of you who have my (current, work-related) email address, please change it in your address book or whatever to my new address, which is (my first name) at earthlink dot net.

Also, generalized jobma would be appreciated. Friday is my last day. I'm sad about leaving all these awesome freakazoids I've been working with for 5+ years. SO BE NICE TO ME PLEASE.

TomW and I leave for the UK tomorrow afternoon, so we'll both be pitch black dark for about 2 weeks.

See y'all when we return.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I'm heading out of town tomorrow after work and therefore will be dark until some time on Monday.
