I'm on a boat.


Here we are, a month later. We're all a little older, a little wiser, and pretty much all of us on the east coast of the USA are tired of the effin' snow, already (welcome to my world every snowfall...).

Jess and I, with Erin in tow of course, got back from a week long cruise yesterday. To the Bahamas. It was okay. I suppose we're not really "cruise people." Overall environment kinda deal, simply not our bag. We loved it down in Nassau, at the "world famous" Atlantis resort, where we got day passes. But the cruise line (which I shall refer to as the "one with the towel animals") does some things in a very interesting way. And of course by interesting I mean "excuse me, but would you kindly stop screwing me royally, thankyouverymuch."

Erin became semi-famous, though, both with the crew and the other passengers. I guess it helps when you have a distinctive hairstyle, are entirely too cute for your own good, and like to engage everybody as you, or they, walk by. I knew we had a real phenomenon on our hands when we were at Atlantis, though, and people said "hey, I know that baby." If I thought like the one with the towel animals, I'd probably charge a fee for interacting with her (assessed at the end of voyage).

So, it's back to the grind. Damn, now I have that Skid Row song "Slave to the Grind" stuck in my head.

How Was Your Trip?

See you in the fall, as the old joke goes.


Had an okay time. Bit disappointing really. Could have been high expectations, or it could have been an actual drop off from last years trip, I dunno for sure. I had some fun with my new tripod, enjoyed the company of course, but other than that I'm enjoying this time off at home more. Go figure, right?

Did see a dead body though. Day we got there, heading out to the resort, there was a traffic jam between Montego Bay and Sandy Bay. We get through to see a head on collision and a dead body on the side of the road. Kinda freaky, really. Maybe that set the tone for the whole trip.

Here are some more pictures.

And since some people have mentioned that I've gotten away with never showing myself:
Not bad for what is pretty much a self portrait. I heart my new tripod. Thanks honey!

Vacation, all I ever wanted...

The Go-Go's for the win!

I'm off for a week, folks. No tears, I'll be back. Headin' down to Jamaica to vacate...how do you conjugate vacation, anyway? Neither here nor there, to vacation and celebrate anniversary number one. Take care of you and yours while I'm gone, and don't do anything stupid, or else I'll find out. Then I will attack, and you don't want that.

Two song references in a quick post...damn, I'm good.
