…and there goes Eric. It was the first day of summer yesterday, and what better way to mark the occasion.
Here comes the Son…

There’s no turning back. I’m about to start hobby # 237 – fly fishing. The rod was purchased on a very dark and stormy night from Bass Pro Shop on Monday, and the reel arrived via mail yesterday. Next weekend will be my big debut as a fly fisherman. Photos of me (with a hook embedded in my ear) to follow…
Fabulous Feedback from Flickr
Wow. I actually had some feedback from Flickr, meaning some folks actually commented on a couple of my photos. I included one of them here. I’m not sure photography is so much skill as it is just being in the right place at the right time.
Pool Sharks defy Gravity
Christy attempts to walk on water at Uncle Keith’s and Auntie Mary’s house, while Eric jumps out of the water backwards and onto the diving board.
Happy Father’s Day!
The kids made these for me in kindergarten. Nice ties (remember wearing those things?).
Slip Sliding Away
Our baseball players decide to cool off after the game on a Slip’n Slide. I tried it, too, and decided that 42-year-olds should not be on Slip’n Slides. Doctors couldn’t save the leg (or was it my arm?)
More baseball action (on a very hot afternoon)
Christy prepares to crush the ball. Eric slides into home and he’s called safe (probably because there’s no catcher).
Eric keeps his eyes on the ball
One more post for the night. Eric and Christy played their first pitch-the-ball game tonight – as opposed to the usual hit the ball off a tee. Below is a photo of Eric keeping his eye on the ball. Can you see the ball? He did – he crushed it.
NINE hours to get home.
This photo appeared on http://www.projo.com. It was taken the night of the snowstorm on December 16, 2007. And yes, it took me nine hours to get home from work in Westborough, MA – despite leaving at noon that day.
Update: November 20, 2022: Yup. The photo disappeared. It was just a scan from a photo appearing on projo.com. Oh, well.
