Ahh, to have friends with a swimming pool. Monday night Justin and I both cruised over to Seth and Niki’s place for a sunny evening of BBQ, swimming, and rockin’ the night away. (Jen was chillin’ down in Kinderhook & Valatie once again, so unfortunately, she didn’t join us.) There’s nothing like enjoying a hot […]

No, it’s not the porno version of the educational program many of us grew up with in the ’80s, 3-2-1 Contact. Rather, “3, 2, 1… Jack Off!” was the agreed upon battle call we (Jen) developed yesterday afternoon at Tom and Anne’s place as we gathered, along with Alex and Cati, for a great day […]

Yesterday we cruised down to Valatie (the next village over from Kinderhook) for an evening BBQ at Karen’s parents’ place to meet Karen and Joti’s new baby (now 2 months old), Sylvia. She’s really cute, sporting Karen’s eyes and Joti’s hair. Newborns always make Jen cry. I think Jen looks great holding babies (no, I’m […]

Last night Anne, Tom, and Justin joined us for some great summer grillin’, gamin’, and goofin’ (OK, that’s a cheesy sentence, I know, but hey, it fits). We enjoyed a plethora of tasty summer dishes — broccoli, turkey burgers, fake chicken patties, coleslaw, homemade cornbread, multiple pasta salads, and even Jen’s homemade chocolate chip cookies […]

Everyone’s writing about it. And all the dogs are doing it. Every Thursday this summer, Broadway shop Sloppy Kisses is hosting Yappy Hour at The Inn at Saratoga, a bit further south down Broadway. The event started June 21, but last night was our first time going, and Happy Dingo McGee made his debut, along […]

Inspired last night by Alex & Cati’s infamous pizza-ettes (see here and here), Jen and I decided to take a stab at making them ourselves (OK, well mostly Jen, but I did more than my fair share in eating them!). We made 4 of the wheat pita-based wonders — 2 with feta and artichoke hearts […]

Saturday brought us back to our old college town of Poughkeepsie for our third and final wedding of the summer: That of Sam and Amelia in the Vassar Chapel, the very same place where Jen and I got married nearly 4 years ago. All 3 weddings we attended this summer were all friends from Vassar, […]

Living the American dream, we spent (the first part of) our 4th of July on our porch (before heading to Matt & Dana’s for a BBQ), reviewing and learning how to tie various sailing knots, such as the bowline, the figure 8, and a number of other knots kindly provided by Grog. Back in the […]

Last Sunday, on the morning after the 2nd Annual Sangria Social, a houseful of happy and hungover friends somehow awoke before 10am. The house was only slightly a disaster zone, but we didn’t care. We weren’t fazed by the fact that a 7-month-old and his parents would soon be arriving. On their way to Montreal […]

OK, so after yet another long, fun-filled weekend, I spent most of today blogging. It’s probably the longest continuous blogging I’ve done in the history of my blogging — and now that my archives total 1,595 posts (this will be 1,596), that’s saying a lot! — and surely the highest number of consecutive posts in […]
