Christmas Eve 2011. The shopping is done (it better be done). The kids are downstairs playing. Donna is cooking something or other. Now where’s the damn remote?
Peace at last…

Riding the rails at Edaville
We made it this year after taking a couple of years off. Glenn and family joined us as in years past. A special highlight this year was the ground transportation that was arranged for us: Kendra twisted her foot and required a wheel chair – a two-person wheel chair was offered, and of course Christy wanted to be co-pilot. That kid is living large. We were also able to find some antifreeze on the way up – thank goodness.
In the Park after Dark…
Stupid fish took our bait…
…Eric may need to put another worm on the hook, thanks to this pesky intruder. We usually throw these back.
Just Ducky…
It was game-on in Barrington Cove this morning. Hunters (a father and son?) rowed to this point in the cove where they hoped to ambush some duckies. I shot them instead (with a camera of course).
Dancing with the Stars
I love when Dancing with the Stars comes on TV. It means I reach for the noise-canceling headphones and get lost in some Beatle’s tunes. Here Comes the Sun, and there goes Tom Bergeron. No offense, Tom.
A sponge, a bonehead, and a filthy face.
Christy, her friend Emmy, and Eric pose before collecting their loot last night for Halloween. Twenty percent of proceeds go to me. That means I get ALL the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Needless to say, this is my second favorite time of the year.
The one that DID NOT get away

Eric shows off the Blue Fish I caught on a plug. We caught this one nearer to shore after giving up on the area around the Light House. It was a VERY cold morning, especially when you’re zipping along in a Boston Whaler. Brr.
The Great Pumpkin…is probably melting somewhere.
There’s nothing quite like walking around a corn maze in 90-degree weather. I hate the heat, especially when it’s supposed to be chilly. Screw you global warming.
Steve Jobs….RIP.
I took this shot of my iPad, using my iPhone. The displayed website is apple.com, which is showing a tribute to Steve. I got the news of his passing a few hours ago via a CNN alert, which appeared on the iPad. I guess it was fitting. Very sad.
