BBQ, Kenny, Ellis and Antje ...

Yesterday Allison and I went to New Hampshire in the morning. I got 3 hours of sleep and then we were off. Went went up to see Dan and Marcia and then went over to see Ken and Alicia for Alicia’s MBA celebration party. Ken went to the Bull Run and got some great steak tips and fired up the Webber and got the bbqing going. Here’s Kenny at the BBQ.


Kenny the BBQ King.

After we left Ken and Alicia we went back to the house and Erin and Bart came down to have dinner with us and to head down to North Andover to see Antje Duvekot and Ellis Paul at the Crossroad’s Coffeehouse.

Antje opened the show and she was fantastic, she has such a wonderful voice and her songwriting is amazing. We were actually seated directly behind her. After the show she signed my copy of her newest CD Boys, Flowers, Miles. And I asked if I could get a photo with her as well. She was very gracious and nice to meet. I look forward to seeing her again in the future.


Drew and Antje.

Ellis took the stage and he played another fantastic set. He played about an hour and then we took a break and then he played some more and asked for suggestions/requests. Allison shouted out Words. Words is going to be our wedding song. So Ellis played Words and it was awesome.

Allison bought Ellis’ new CD called American Jukebox Fables. We waited in line to get that signed and we also got our picture taken with Ellis.


Allison,Ellis and Drew.
(Notice how cute Allison’s outfit is. It is my favorite one at the moment. Totally brings the blue out in her eyes.)

So when Ellis began to sign the CD he asks, who should I make this out to, and Allison says “Allison” and I say “and Drew”. So we had a little laugh at that and talked to him about our wedding and our choice of Words as the wedding song. Now notice that Allison and I was pictured with Ellis, but only I am with Antje. That is because when Drew gets to talk to a cute female singer he forgets everything and gets tongue tied. So The CD is only made out to me and only I am in the picture.

Thanks for taking the photos Bart.

We had a great weekend hanging out with Erin and Bart and seeing Antje and Ellis. And lunch with Dan and Marcia and Aunt Sandy and Aunt Sandy’s famous chocolate chip cookies.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
