Sitting in Southern California and watching a Hockey Game on TV, that is good. The game is in MO., and that is cool. That I see a Tim Horton’s ad on the boards and I can’t get me a Maple Dip Doughnut here is just not fair. I will survive.
Press on…

Spring Vacation, 2013
Another Lovely Wife™ video production of our trip. Much nicer than my photo albums, but it does not contain my urbane, witty commentary...
A link to a movie from our trip. (Warning, its 13 minutes... Sorry).

Hope you enjoy.

I love New York...Especially In the Evening!
It was the Lovely Wife's™ first visit to New York, and the city lived up to its reputation. We walked our asses off but had a grand time!
You need more than three days, but we gave it out best shot. From the Staten Island Ferry dock at Battery Park to The Met, and all the highlights in between...
An Affair To Remember Where Harry Met Sally.
Where to next?

The Nation's Capitol
While driving up I-95 from Rocky Mount to DC, we passed many Quebec license plates. Must have been the snow birds migrating north.
A tip about car rentals in DC - if you ever have to drop off a car, DO NOT plan on doing it at Union Station! The rental return ramp is not marked and if you miss it, you have to circle the station and deal with all the traffic! Sheesh.
Here are a few photo's of our stay, captions included of course.
Just to add interest, here is a video from atop the Newseum - highly recommended. It is conveniently located next to the Canadian Embassy:
And here is a shot of me next to the OC Register Pulitzer Prize winning photo. I did not take it, but my magic made it look great in the Newspaper, before color was as common as it is today.
LA Olympics, 1984.

Rocky Mount, NC - 21st Century Mayberry
Just returned back from a jaunt along I-95, from NC to DC to NY. Had little to no time for updates or postings. Covered a lot of ground in 9 days. For my non-Facebook followers, here are a few pictures of the North Carolina segment.
After a red-eye to Raleigh, landed in what felt like a hurricane, then drove about an hour to Rocky Mount, NC. Beautiful country side and while I have no problem with 90% humidity - not so for Cathy - I would need to get used to having allergies, I think!
There was enough pollen falling from the strangest Pine Trees that I think I could have used it for a base for a stew! It completely covered our rental car in just a few hours.
Enjoy the sounds of the Tar River.

Red Eye Flights...
Red eye flights have their own special 'features'. Why is the flight to Raleigh full? What is so special about North Carolina?? At least the cheap wine from LAX is helping :)
See you all on Eastern Time, hopefully. Is everyone going to Augusta? Really, just because Tiger is back?
Time to board. More later, God Willing!!
