So I just went into the kitchen to reheat my coffee for the 2nd time this morning. It’s probably time for a new one all together but I figure no need to let it go to waste, and I am trying to cut back on my caffine intake. I was also looking for a little snack so I opened up the office snack drawer and saw a package of cookies. I got really excited ( Read more... )

I keep trying to pin it down to one thought… one memory…. one statement that would summaries my uncle’s large personality. One moment to sum up who he was and what he meant to me. But ONE is not a number that can be associated with such a legacy.

So I passed my METS test, and as Vinny quickly learned converting me to a METS fan is no cheap task. After rattling off the METS facts I managed to memorize Vin gave me a kiss and we headed off to Models to buy myself and the Camp children some METS gear. You can not be a true fan without the proper attire.

Tuesday morning we were up bright and ( Read more... )
