ON VACATION!

(Originally posted on the website Continuum…)

If you’re looking for me, I ain’t here until July 21, baby! I’ll be camping in Virginia at Assateague Island. It’s a beautiful place! Lots of wildlife, including wild ponies.

So here’s what I’ll be doing…

Heh heh! Pony roasting time!

I can see the animal rights activists lining up to protest already!*

So let me annoy the vegetarians too! Here’s a pic that someone recently emailed to me…

(* Anyone caught protesting around my campsite will be promptly skewered and roasted!)

Fire in Washington, NJ – July 14, 2003 (Photos)

(Originally posted on the website Continuum…)

There was a fire in our town yesterday. Rumor has it that the fire was started by a 5 year old boy playing with matches in his bedroom. Thankfully, no one was injured. But the house appeared to be fully gutted by the flames.

At first, I felt a little like the “Paparazzi” chasing after photo ops. Then I saw a few professional photographers and just imitated their gait and style. Rather than looking for the sensational shots, I tried to focus on some “in action” photographs of the firefighters and rescue workers.

Five Questions

1. Do you remember your first best friend? Who was it?

The earliest best friend that I can remember was Alan “I-Have-No-Idea-How-To-Spell-His-Last-Name.” We met when we were around 5 years old. It was a love/hate kind of friendship. We were always trying to out-do each other. We used to get into fist fights with each other and keep track of how many we each won. One time he chased me all the way home. We pounded on each other right at my front door. The door was locked. My mom was vacuuming the living room just inside. She refused to open the door. (???) I got shoved into the rose bushes.

2. Are you still in touch with this person?

No, my family split up and moved when I was 9. (No, they didn’t leave me behind. Mom finally let me in) If I do meet up with Alan “I-Have-No-Idea……” I’ll have to deck him because I think he was one fight up on me when we moved.

3. Do you have a current close friend?

Yes.

4. How did you become friends with this person?

We met at a church. We are both divorced and share similar experiences and points of view.

5. Is there a friend from your past that you wish you were still in contact with? Why?

There are a few friends from the past that I wish I was still in contact with. One because I think she probably cared about me more than anyone other girl ever did. Another because she was better looking than any other girl ever was. And another friend because we used to be like brothers… But I offended him.
