The aroma of meatloaf
greeted my
olfactory nerve as I entered
the front door
and a smile formed on my face.

Published 15.August.2008 entertainment , family , fatherhood , food , good things , gratitude , gson , smiles , steadylife 0 CommentsI’ve been needing to take a vacation all summer. Badly. We had planned to go in early August, but those plans never got finalized. I put the stake in the ground for the first two weeks of September. Today, I verbally confirmed a place in Lewes, DE. I’m excited. Almost two full weeks in Lewes. We’ll be rolling up to CT at the end of the second week for Taffy’s cousin’s wedding. Should be fun.
Things I plan to do on vacation:
- Spend some time on the beach at Henlopen with a surf fishing pole.
- Go to the Dogfishead brewery.
- Eat a meal or two at Half Full in Lewes.
- Take a few naps.
- Rid my brain of tcp/ip and bgp for two weeks.
- Spend lots of good time with Greyson. I wonder what he’ll think of the beach now.
- Find a farmer’s market in Lewes.
- Cook some good food for Taffy.
- Avoid wearing actual shoes (unless its cold).
- Avoid wearing socks.
Outstanding Weekend
Published 11.August.2008 bacon , cooking , family , fatherhood , food , frank , gson , smiles , steadylife 0 CommentsThis past weekend rocked. Saturday included a trip to the farmer’s market for some tomatos and some scones - I also came away with some great wax beans - breakfast on the deck on our new table an chairs (yes Home Depot did finally come thorugh) and spending nearly all day Saturday with Greyson, just hanging out in the back yard. He was playing and generally acting like an 8 month old on the blanket with us, which was very entertaining. The weather was unbelievable.
Sunday, we went to the other farmer’s market in Annapolis and got some more good veggies as well as some excellent bread. Mom and Jen came down with the girls. Frank was sick. We had a nice time without him, but I wish he’d been there. I made some phat sandwiches that were grilled on the grill (who needs a panini press?). They had turkey, bacon, sprouts, spinach, provolone, and mayo on them. I grilled them on the grill for about 5 minutes and got some nice char marks on them as well as melted the cheese. They rocked. We ate them with some gaspacho that we made with the veggies that we got at the farmer’s market.
I spent the whole weekend with no watch on. This is very liberating and I suggest you try it.
I also left the windows and sun roof open on the car all weekend, luckilly it was in the carport.
B L T - Spells Summer
Published 9.August.2008 bacon , food , gardening , good things , gratitude , smiles , steadylife 0 CommentsOkay, so a BLT is not really that big a deal, and I know that it is AUGUST forgodsake so summer is officially drawing to a close, BUT, today I made the first BLT of the summer with a tomato from my own damn garden. Priceless. Absolutely Priceless.
Take that Mastercard…
Where is the gson?

This week I:
- Went to the driving range (Monday)
- Caught up with an old friend (Tuesday) ten years… What happened to 10 years?
- Played golf (Wednesday)…Some might call my round “the round where he lost his balls”
- Ate lots of crap food (Burgers, Fries, Pizza)
- Missed my good wife and my little boy really badly. I can’t wait to hug both of them tomorrow.
