The pre-race tension is unbearable

Potty training for Pigs.
Eric potty trains “Chewbacca” using a bowl.
This did not work as planned. Please disregard.
An auspicious start to Father’s Day (weekend)
I christened my new freshwater rod and reel this morning – with a four-pound Large Mouth Bass. I didn’t actually weigh it, but it’s one of the bigger ones I have ever caught. The bait is a Zoom brand, and in this case it was a “salamander” – with lots of action as you retrieve it.
So close, and yet so far….
Flash gets some exercise, while Nigel contemplates an appetizer.
Nice shot, Dad.
My dad (Malcolm Long), who turned 80 in April, took this really nice shot with his favorite toy – an iPhone4S. He always gave me a hard time about fidgeting with my own iPhone. Not anymore.
I love how the clouds are reflected in the water. Nice job framing the photo, too.
Hello from Windows 8
I just installed a demo version of Windows 8. It’s not fully baked yet, but I thought I’d give it a try. It’s okay. It’s very different. We’ll just have to see.
Bad Hair Day, or Bad Bird watching?
Christy wants a closer look at birds on the feeder. I think she violated their personal space. Just say’n.

It may have looked peaceful tonight, but Martin and I joked about the background noise, which included planes coming in to land at Green Airport, and Warwick’s finest testing their sirens at the nearby police headquarters. Not a bad night though; we caught a couple Large Mouth Bass and a Crappie from the Scanoe, and the electric outboard worked perfectly. Even so, I’m still looking to catch that elusive five-pound bass.
Thinking of you, Lionel…
on this Memorial Day weekend.
Some Like it HOT…..we don’t.
It was a very hot day in Foxboro, too hot for a Soccer Tournament. We lost the first and second games, but the girls worked hard to tie the third. Everyone played well, but the other teams were just a step ahead of us – literally. We had a few familiar faces pinch hit for us, while some of our best girls remain on the DL. They were sorely missed.
