Rambling Update

So, I sit here in Hoboken waiting for tonight's enjoyment, a client meeting. I've got a little under an hour to go an figured I type out a few rambling disjointed thoughts about life and generalities.

This weekend was a good one for wifey and I. We tooled around on Saturday running errands and then getting a new radio in the family truckster. We got that going and the replacement Satellite Radio working. Our neighbors are going to borrow the truck this weekend to take a family vacation to Hershey Park (oh, how I hate them for not taking me too.) Did a crud load of research on various items, went to the dumps to drop off the cardboard recyclables that the town contractor forever seems to miss on their regular route.

Sunday I looked at my beautiful wife and said lets take a drive. We scampered around, brushed our teeth and out the door we went. First we ended up at Briemeyer Farms. Stopped in for some ultra scrumptious apple tarts - then figured we'd buy 20 of them and drop them off as little goodies to the parents and niece's and nephew's (so if you're reading this FAV run down stairs and grab your very own, we dropped off 6 to your house.)  We then continued out to Orient Point on a slow and leisurely journey. Its was a fantastic day. We came upon a garage sale sign and went off the beaten path to try and find it (a road no wider than the family truckster - actually less wide than the truck because we were scraping through a bunch of brush.)

Then we were on a tare for tracing paper and charcoals. I wanted to do some rubbings of some tombstones, neat roadway covers, roadway markers etc. Alas, we didn't find any by the time we both pooped out.

As we made our way back towards Riverhead I stopped in Office Max for the tracing paper (no charcoals) and thankfully that store is right next to Williams-Sonoma Outlet. We went in and hit the lottery. We found everything 70% off. We left the store with 3 Tuscan Sugar bowls, 25 earthenware oversized coffee cups and 4 mini sugar scoops all for a whopping $43. Every once in a while you hit it big.

Finally we drove home and collapsed for a while (with Crush the super cat bringing us not 1 but 2 live Chipmunk's over the weekend.) No animals were harmed or deaded this weekend in the making of this blog.

With 3 Advil PM's in me I lasted through the night with a fulfilling rest. First in a long time.
