NO, please tell me it ain't so.... Car racing is scum....

Cars are transportation, not toys. Dale Earnhart, for example.

The weekend was EXCELLENT!
We hung out with my good friend Rod, his daughter and Derrick.
The people at our campsite were mostly noncomputer literate (except for Rod and Darrick).
It was great hearing how people in the sticks live.
I can remember a time when computers weren't so necessary to my life.
It was a long time ago.
I liked these people because, well, take Lonny for instance, he doesn't have a cell phone, a computer, an internet connection or cable TV.
Lonnie is great people, and man, can he play corn hole. I'd have to think his life is so much more simpler than ours.
Make money, pay bills, watch local TV, hang out with friends, and sometimes make love,. Thats what my life used to be about.
Now I'm all about checking my email, writing programs, downloading my transactions, and everything centers around the internet. I check it before going out to see what to wear.
Talking to these people brings back memories of a time in my life when I was a simpler person. I like both the person I was, and am. Its cool!
So, these events aren't really about the event.
Its about the whole experience. Everything we do is exciting enough to think about for many months to come.
And in my old age, if I make it, I'll look back at these times and smile a great big smile.
*** These are the good old days ***

Racing is not Scum!
these guys are awesome drivers.. Tragedy can happen anywhere anytime
I was a huge Dale Earnhardt fan,
Plus the race is just a small part of it
It's more about spending thh weekend with family and friends

53? But you are 57....

Good flight back, to Lost Wages, Jimmy?

Why won't your job be there after your vacation? Vacations are legal and acceptable in PA. Specially in Pittstown.

How does Sonny and the house look? Intact?

I am sure Jeff will hold down the fort at work while you're gone.

Let's IM some time. When you aren't "Mobile".....

BL stands for "Bryan Lund". Also known as BLLB for Bryan Lund, Lover Boy....

BL and I went to high school together and Jeff worked with him for a good number of years, as recently as 2003, at CDG in LA.

Why are you always "Mobile"? I want to IM with Jimmy...

What's BL stand for? Or do I want to know.
Jeff really likes the picture of him standing in front of his old home.
I liked the picture of him walking out on the docks with all of the birds flying in.

Jimmy - Ask Jeff to look at your photos here, and ask him if he thinks you are turning into BL...

Did you slug this cop, after you took the photo?

I actually got to go up "Lady Liberty" and look out from her crown. And then up her right arm to the torch.

See how studly I am for having not wait so long to go to NYC!!! That was back in the 1970s.

I am so glad you finally made it to NYC, one of the world's great cities. Someday, I think you should go back for a week and see all the city has to offer a visitor. Museums, plays, more of the people, the feel of the city during a work day. See the NY Stock Exchange from the observation deck on a trading day. And much more.

But this weekend trip was a great start.

So, you went to NJ on the long weekend? And with Jeff!!! He's from NJ, you know. Did you also go to the "Rotten Apple" (New York City) too?

NYC is one studly city. Even too studly for Jimmy.

When in Pittsburgh, do as Pittsburghers do. That's Becky wearing her Steeler paraphernalia.
Without these colors, our pictures would be on milk cartons.
