In Short:

We got the bus out of storage

(just kidding)

and took off for Massachusetts.

First stop Smith College, where the girls were abundant and full of bounce

and the dudes were few but hooped the hula

all. night. long.

We stayed on campus in the Tenney House, ate at the cafeteria

and left town on a mission: SAVERS in Springfield.

Next stop Boston,

a Super 8,

and a house party where the temperature was in the teens and the teens chugged forties.

A buncha chowda-heads.

Couple of the Month

See it...
Believe it...

Another thing landlord...

This is my landlord's daughter and her family.
I told Neil he was rich in grandchildren.
That translates to TOO MANY PUPPIES!
A fine example of Irish twinning, my friends.

Food for thought...

Meet David Fishman.

A 12-year-old aspiring food critic already doing well for himself: The New York Times and complimentary dishes!

Wed Nes Day

I saw a robin this morning. A very plump, foraging robin!
And being the crazy bird lady that I am, I asked, out loud, what it was still doing here.
There was a pile of puke in the stairwell coming up from the N train.
My commute, door to door, took me only 21 minutes.
An orange juice and a banana cost me $3.00.
Pirates have captured 7 ships in 12 days.
And I just discovered a hole in my pants.
In a very compromising place.
And it aint no small hole, either.

Dead Ringer

This is actually a disservice to Andre, but get a gander!
And I'm sure you deserved that black eye, you ass.

Why do birds?

My mom has found a new favorite pass-time...
Mae!

Unload my head

Nothing quite like a walk in the park on a sunny fall day.

Anyone?

Who's down for going to see the Bacon Brothers in Jersey tonight?

(silence)

Guess who?

The Bean is a Teen!
Doesn't that seem nuts?
Makes me feel old.
Or maybe it's my creaky knees, deaf ear, dinners at five and the urge to hit the hay at 9PM every night.

Favor

Will someone grow a mustache like this so that my sister can sweep the floor with your face?

Halloween is over...

And so is the the most nerve-wrangling night of them all!
Let's breathe that collective sigh of relief we've been holding in our bellies for so long.
Let's open our hearts again to hope and change and A NEW DAWN!
Good things await us, ALL of us, creatures great and creatures small.
I feel it in my bones.
I really do.

President Obama

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America -- I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you -- we as a people will get there."

Rock it...

Can you imagine wanting to shoot these young, wild bucks?

No way!

Hope you voted today.
