It's only june?!??!

I am still in the Boston area working and it's getting old. I love the area but Michelle and my dogs not being here is completely ruining it. I do enjoy seeing my family and I love the climate, but it's all somehow lame without someone to share it with. Looking forward to my next trip home which appears to be July at this point. Ugh! ... did I mention that I am sick of being this far from the home we have built outside Austin? If you hadn't guessed, I am homesick.

Went with my mom and dad to Vermont to see some family and my grandparents graves. My aunt Barbara wasn't doing well and I hope she feels much better soon so we can go back and spend more than 20 minutes with her. My aunt Linda seemed to be holding up ok but her husband seemed to be feeling under the weather some. I guess this is what happens when you get old. I haven't mentioned but my dad is the "baby" of the family and he turned 70 this year. We will go spend some more time with them before i leave for Austin this fall.

Bought an Out of State NH fishing license this weekend. $53.. ouch ... but 7 days was 33 or 35 and i figure i might want to go later in the summer too. So now I have to go fishing at least a few more times to make it even remotely worth it :) I did stop at a small lake on the way back to MA but it was really windy and I didn't manage to catch anything worth even taking a picture of, but the wind did keep the insects to a minimum. Not a loss really, was really nice out.

Normally I would write up menus for what I have been eating but it's been a couple days and I'm slipping. So the highlights...

Junk food .. junk food ... (Subway and Quiznos, better than McDonalds and Burger King, but still not healthy .. especially the way I have subs made). Some steamed hot dogs and chips ... still not doing the healthy thing apparently. Poached eggs and toast today for breakfast today. The actual highlight was a Lobster Roll(thanks Corinne!!!! I couldn't get these outa my head all damn weekend!) at D'Angelos on the way back to MA. Was actually VERY good .. but $15 for a sandwich is usually more than I can justify.

Being lonely can suck the fun out of pretty much anything. I guess the one thing that can be said for it is that it helps us appreciate the times when we're surrounded by family and friends even more.

In other news...
Woo-hoo! Lobstah roll for the win!!!
