OK, here are just a few from our Maine trip, since I'm on a roll...

Me and Billy!

I could have sworn this was called Misty Harbor but I can't find anything called that on the map. If that wasn't the name of the Harbor it was the name of a road or something right there because the point of this photo was it was supposed to be of a nice view of the coast and ocean but there was too much fog to see anything, and I had just seen the sign saying Misty Harbor or Misty Harbor Road or something.

We were frustrated because we were supposedly on a scenic drive, but saw no scenery!

Here are just a few. I also have to put up all my photos from my family's visit, and pics from last weekend when robreed and I took Billy to Maine!

Hester is super excited about the ocean!

Thanks for having me, Clementine and Hashbrown! It was great to hang out and relax, very fun to spend so much time with you, and of course so great to spend so much time with Hester!

So my parents were in town this weekend and we had some fun times with Dan and also Clementine, Hashbrown and Hester.

Here are some photos to whet your appetite. I am still going through them and will post the whole collection once they are organized.

And of course, Hester!

Click on the photo of Hester to check out my photos from my trip out to Northampton for my 10-year reunion a couple of weeks ago. (This was in Washburn House, which Clementine, Hashbrown and Hester and I visited early in our Reunion festivities... much to Hashbrown's boredom and my and Clementine's geeky delight!)

Here is Miss Hester Willa playing on a recent trip to visit her extended family. I can't believe what a big girl she is getting to be!

We need to take some photos of Billy on a walk or two in his new park, but here's an older one of him in Boston Common from a few years ago.

What a big doggie smile!

And here is a funny old picture of Billy I happened across while going through photos a little.

He looks like he's really got something to say!

So this year is my ten year reunion at college, which is fairly traumatic in some ways.

But, luckily it's also a good reason for a bunch of us to head back out to Northampton and catch up, which I'm looking forward to.

In any case, on that note, I thought I'd share a fun photo from the good old days. Here I am trying to force Clementine to be in a picture with me after, if I remember correctly, also forcing her to put on lipstick. Yeah, we were cool like that. Please notice the Dr. Pepper on my desk as well as the lovely collection of cassette tapes. Excellent. Also, my ghost-like complexion is from the flash - I kind of look like a vampire.

Well, I think everybody got spring fever today. I got so warm on my way to work that I had to take my jacket off.

I love Christopher Columbus Park in the summer, here's a photo for you:
