• How is it that every time I leave @Lowes I think of 5 more things I forgot to buy while I was there. #
• My father wouldn’t be happy that I just planted broccoli for the fall garden season. Broccoli was the only thing he agreed w/ Bush Sr about. #
• Darn it. I missed walking into the barber shop with no one in front of me by 30 seconds. #

• When you don’t want to use a second free dinner coupon, that’s pretty bad. The buffet at Ballys Wild Wild West is one of the worst I’ve had. #
• Smoked some pork chops tonight and had them with fresh bell, Hungarian & poblano peppers from the garden. Turned out great! #
• @embly917 I’ll miss my Emily updates. lol in reply to embly917 #
• Absolutely amazing COLOR photos of Russia from over 100 years ago! The Boston Globe’s Big Picture delivers as usual. http://bit.ly/bvJOyi #

• Had a good breakfast at a diner I hadn’t been to before. Golden Pigeon Diner in Bridgeton NJ. Funny name but great food http://bit.ly/cubtpq #
• It’s Thanksgiving in August. I’m roasting a brined turkey and making cornbread stuffing. #
• Where the hell did this weekend go? Oh well, at least the turkey and stuffing turned out delicious. #
• Worst teaser ever, Ice Road Truckers – “Alex has blood on his hands.” Turns out he literally got blood on his hands while helping someone. #

• Onto the next step in processing my Alaska photos, cropping & adjusting. Still haven’t thought of a good way to pick which ones to post! #
• The iPad is tempting me. #
• RT @IJasonAlexander I have a rule about not buying 1st gen of anything but Ipad is luring my ship of resolve toward the rock of wow. -me too #

I know everyone is wondering why no one has seen my photos from my 2 week trip to Alaska. Well, they’re coming soon. However, I was home from Alaska for barely a day before leaving again for Norfolk for work. When I got back last week, I started working on them. This Alaska trip was a vacation I’ve wanted to take all my life and we saw a huge variety of sites. So armed with a ton of memory, I snapped approximately 4,700 photos. I’ve now pared taht down to 1,300 “keepers” but they still need sorting and editing before I start to get them online, and I’ll most likely pare that number down even more before posting them online.

So, keep watching this space, and soon you’ll be bored by looking at hundreds more of my photos!
