We’re Back!

Just so you know.

It was GREAT to visit with everyone in New Jersey, Holley, Rochester, Auburn, Letchworth Park, and in between!
SAGE ALSO HAD A BEST
BEST TIME EVER she kept on saying over and over in the car!
Now she has a new toy to play with and is super excited.
I’ll tell her you said Hi.

Germs are everywhere

I somehow managed to catch a cold here in NYC which pretty much stinks. I went from sleeping thursday night on Vassili’s couch in the extreme heat and sweating all night to the next night sleeping in extreme cold and freezing at Colleen’s Fordham apartment. But whatever. Hopefully the plane ride won’t completely suck because of this head cold. (In all previous examples, it has).
My dad and Colleen are out getting the rental SUV so we can load up all of her gear into that. He’s going to drive it back to Holley, NY with her stuff. My flight out of JFK is at 4pm so I have to leave here and hop on the subway around 1ish. My mom and sister’s flight doesn’t leave until 8 so they will have some time to kill in between.
All in all I had a great time and will be posting some pictures when I return home. I’ll be home by 8 something tonight. Then it’s back to the daily grind for me.
Later for now.

Okay..

Time to bust it.

In Holley, NY right now.. We gotta go the rest of the way home now. So….

We are about to bounce.

I’ll post when we get back so all you listeners of the world of brian smith do not need to worry about whether or not we made it.

So… figure a little bit later on tonight.. 2AM or so.

Heading Out

Well, I am heading out of tomn tomorrow for a little bit. Tomorrow I board a flight in Lansing, make a quick stop in Washington DC, and arrive in Neward, New Jersey. Yee. At which time I will meet up with Bob Jones who will take me to Jersey City and it’s possible we will venture to Brooklyn tomorrow night. On Saturday we will wake and go to Ben Colson’s wedding in Emmaus, PA and the reception in Philadelphia. On Sunday we will rise and return to Jersey City to watch the Falcons crush the Giants. At which time either my father will be picking me up and I will spend the week in Holley, NY or I will stay and meet up with Sara once she reaches New Jersey. Not sure what is happening yet. But first thing first. If you need me, I’ll be back.

We’re back
