    The closer you look at the smaller things, the more they tend to impress. That, and wow, what a dirty window.

    Well not that funny. One of the camps the kids attend is really in the woods. There’s a rough single lane road that takes you through a forested area to the camp. Most of the time, people respect other vehicles and give passage in the tighter spots. Some days, this massive 18-wheeler has to trek…

    Over and over again. Very rarely have I encountered a device that I want to smack with a hammer. Repeatedly. The Apple Watch so far has risen to the top of the charts. Not MY device, by the way, this is for Noah. So many publications tout how great it is as an “older kid”…

    Noah’s running out of space on his ice cream pie! He began the day as such- Then spent the whole day at an indoor water park with friends. It was nuts. Fun fact, theres a huge old rhododendron in the back yard that almost always waits til 6/23 to bloom. All the other ones in…

    Every year, the kids school organizes a group ticket discount to the local amusement park, Canobie Lake Park. I don’t do many rides anymore, especially since the kids are old enough to run a-mock with friends! So, a couple fun photos instead. The still shot from the above: And one more Motion vs Still:

    Notice the bolt near Willy’s head – a very lucky shot caught the bolt in motion. A frame from the vid: And the full action: As a little end-of-school event, we went to see Inside Out 2 at the theater, with some dinner afterwards. Storms kicked up during the movie – and were wildly loud.…

    No need to even type this but HOLY CRAP look at the line. I’m very much considering choosing another wholesale store after this visit. Historically it has been more fun taking the kids to Costco, getting some cool stuff and grabbing cheap eats at the food court. This time we had to abandon the cart,…

    A la Trader Joes. This is a real winner from Joe. You can grill it, bake it, broil it, and even throw it in a pan. Always comes out incredibly delicious. Even the kids love it. I tend to cook it one way.. then dice it up and broil those pieces a bit, then serve…

    A splash of cream in some iced coffee – always provides a moment of mesmerization. Another shot, still super neat. Not sure which one was first.

    There’s a new chain up here. You serve yourself beer, and you order food on your phone to pickup at a counter. Its all very.. interesting. Think of the beer like pumping your own gas (foreign in NJ yes) – you pour and get charged by the ounce. And the one local here is in…
