Waiting on Trillian

still waiting on the release of the new version of Trillian called Astra.  Would be nice to get the new interface soon, as the creation of skins and plugins has dropped off in expectation of the new version's release.  A kind of stagnation has set in.  "you behind the shed...  I'm still waiting!"

Dinner with Walt Whitman

Still in Long Island as we made a stop at Walt's in the Huntington Hilton. This place has the best French onion soup I've ever tasted and Sim wanted to have some. Been a nice day with her before the craze of the week begins. Ah, soup has arrived... l8rs

EDIT: the soup was BAD! What a let down. It wasn't even served the same. Fried onion on top of the cheese. More croutons then soup... Time to get back to the Red Mill in Sussex County. Never thought a German place would have the best onion soup...

Time for the Ka'au Crater Boys again

"I hear music" and other Hawaiian songs were belting out of my iPod radio as I prepped the yard for flowers and some vegetables in the 80 degree and cloudless sky, yesterday. This year the sunflowers, tomatoes, Cubanelle peppers, green beans and watermelons are getting proper beds to grow in.  More flowers are going to be added as time goes on.  right now the seeds are in Burpee starter kits in the warmth of the shed and covered so that I will have sprouts in 2 weeks to plant.  And the sun felt so GOOD! I'm a little sore from all the hoeing and digging but I love the feel that Spring has.  Everything being born new and being made ready for Summer.  5 more weeks and the pool will be opened and the smell of the grill and suntan lotion will fill the backyard.   Music will flow and ebb in the air and the taste of tropical drinks from the blender will touch my palette.  I no longer hate summer. 

Lunch break is done

Fish-n-chips and back to work for Sim and crew.

On the Road in Long Island

Up and out by 5:30 AM this morning to Suffolk County College in Brentwood NY on Long Island for my wife to teach a class. I'm tagging along as tech and moral support.  A change of pace isn't bad either.  Need to be a little more out of the comfortable rut.  So I'll sit in the back of the class and catch up on a few things for work and then work on some personal items.  Either way it’s a day away from the normal.

Washington crossed the Delaware

I cross the Delaware just a few miles from where George did. At least I 've got a bridge.

Pizza-Down by the sea

Pizza - its what's for dinner

Haven't been here in years and I drive by it almost everyday.

Signs of Spring

 

This isn't the best photo (taken with phone), but this is a cherry tree that has very lite pink blossoms on it. The white pear tress are now in full bloom and covered in thier flowers. The dogwood's are next. The forsythia is out and its bright yellow leaves. The tempetures are hitting the low 50's and the sky is cloudy with April's rain or dizzle. Spring has arrived and everything is being made new...
