| I know it's been a while since I updated. You haven't really missed much. I'm still a recovering sinner still struggling with hubris and a dreadful concatenation of sin. However, as I wrestle with my compunction, I am encouraged and at the same time humbled by God's grace and mercy. Despite my contretemps, God is still with me. I realized that all this time I've been asking him to change my circumstances, when I should be asking him to change my perspective. I'm in CT for a reason. As I figure out what it is, bring on the vagaries of life!
ANYWAY, now that Emily and Jane are thoroughly vexed by my pretentious use of vocabulary, let's digress and get you updated on my weekend. It was highlighted by the return of Lillian to the Constitution State. She kindly kept me company as I dog-sat my boss' beagle on Saturday for 7 hours and played ping pong with me while we waited for my laundry on Sunday. THAT'S WHAT SHE CAME TO CT FOR, YOU ASK? Of course not. We had quite a few tete-a-tetes, but the main event was on Monday.....the ESPN COMPANY PICNIC!
With the FANTASTIC FOURSOME of Me, Lillian, Julian, and Ed we entered Lake Compounce to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. As a refresher from last year, my company rents out the local amusement park and everything is free (rides, games, food, beer). The calorie consumption was absolutely astronomical yesterday. Burgers, onion rings, ribs, burritos, churros, ice cream, funnel cake, beer, wine, etc.
Julian, Lillian, Me, and Ed (why don't you put on a shirt tough guy?):
Some of my old co-workers:
Some of my new co-workers:
AND THERE'S THE 4PM BELL, LET THE DRINKING BEGIN!
Me and Ed tried to get the foam mustaches going, but all we managed were these goofy grins with beer all over:
The Boys and their Wine:
Cheers Lillian!
Now let's flashback to Lillian and her beer at the company picnic 2005...
Beer cognoscenti are an exclusive bunch who take drinking very seriously, I give you exhibit A:
Lillian vs. Julius 2005
Of course we had to continue the tradition of posting misleading pictures of Lillian drinking copious amounts of alcohol as we set up the re-match!
Lillian vs. Julius 2006.
I give a thumbs up to the competition as I prepare for victory!
UM-UH-NA! UM-UH-NA! But there was no stopping this alcoholic!
18 beers later...I surrender Lillian, you win!
Boulder Dash was voted the best wooden roller coaster in the country by the people with nothing better to do than ride roller coasters all day. The pictures came out so funny, that we had to buy them. My brother seemed to be the only one aware of the camera the first go-around, too bad he ended up blocking Ed and Lillian. We told him to tone it down so the rest of us had a chance and that explains his tentative pose in the second picture.
Great food, great company, great venue, great weather. Special thanks to Ed and Lillian for coming out. Life is good in the state of CT.
PEACE!!

| My mom and me on her birthday last weekend.
I gave her a surprise visit with a dozen roses in hand and she had tears of joy streaming down her face. A picture can't quite capture a Hallmark moment such as this, but it came out pretty nice nonetheless.
Everyone congratulate my brother on his job at ESPN. I swear nepotism had nothing to do with it. Now to find a 2 BR apt to move into together...
Sidenote: I am not wasting ANY of my weekends now that I have them. Last week, I went to New York and Philly, this week I'm going to Boston. I'm running amuck along the Northeast Corridor. Anybody have plans next weekend? | | |
| Just to clarify.... the story below wasn't really a scam. It was an honest mistake, but it was freakin hilarious, so I had to share it. Perhaps I emebellished just a tad too much.
Lillian changed the color scheme for my xanga and I must admit.... I like it.
But without further ado....some pictures from Saturday.
Me and my Abington Boys (Dave and Jason)
Me with two lovely ladies (Jeena and Gloria):
For some reason, we took two poses....
Me with the Old School (Dan and Won)
Me and Liz:
Could i BE in a gay-er pose?
Apparently I can...
Who wants some more SoCo?
Me and my boy Ed:
The alcohol has definitely kicked in...
Chillin...
Linda, Jason, Me:
After all these years, Jason still gives me the thumbs up!
Somehow we all dressed the same for lunch... The "three ninjas" as described by Jane (Hannah, Jane, Me)
Although it didn't go according to plan, it was still good to see some old faces! Wait until next year...hehe. Perhaps instead of an extravanganza, it'll be a soiree.
********************************************************************
It started out like any other beautiful day. As the sun brightened the big, blue sky, I was filled with hope of good things to come. These hopes were on the verge of fruition as Lillian offered to buy me a belated birthday dinner. We made our way to Hot Tomatoes and proceeded to order steak, scallops, and garlic bread. As you probably know, nothing tastes better than a free meal. After thoroughly satiating our hunger, she asked our waitress for the check. Lillian took out her wallet and casually started looking for her credit card. As the search slowly became more frantic, I noticed panic beginning to settle in on her face.
Then she innocently uttered, "Uh oh...."
And then I knew... the hopes of an unassuming man were crushed. Flabbergasted and still in shock, I helplessly pulled out my wallet and paid for the meal....
Don't let this happen to you... I FEEL SO USED! She looked for her card just long enough...she showed just enough embarrassment...she uttered just enough remorse for the scam to be believable. For shame Lillian! For SHAME!
Pictures to come later...
