Halibut Point. April. 2002. Jennifer. Rebecca. Smack. ’nuff said.
Gold Stars
I did one of my favorite things just now. I wrote a letter. Not an email or a comment on a blog, but a real, old fashioned, handwritten letter. It was on fun paper and I added in some kiddy stickers from the bank. Quite a nice letter, if I do say so myself.
I must say, however, that I was truely disappointed with my penmanship. There were no gold stars attached to that letter. Now, I’m not saying that I ever had beautiful handwriting, but it was decent at least. Today it seemed to be quite below par.
Looking for an easy scape goat for my sloppy writing I will lay the blame on email. I simply just don’t do that much actual writing anymore. I type all my assignments for school, email most of my ‘pen pals’, type up grocery lists while I’m at work… just not too much formal writing.
This saddens me. I’m going to challenge myself. I’ve decided that I will be more focused on my penmanship. I will write more slowly and will be more careful in forming my letters. That should help.
A car on the moon??
Today’s picture is from our trip last summer to Florida. We visited the Kennedy Space Center, and Becky took this fabulous photo of me, next to a model of the lunar rover.
As Seinfeld said, “You fly all the way to the moon, get out a little car, and drive around in it. YOU’RE ON THE MOON!! Isn’t that FAR enough???”

Dead Duck Day
Have you seen “About a Boy” ? We rented it on Saturday and it was pleasantly entertaining. Hugh Grant was good…but I think that the kid (Nicholas somebody) stole the movie. What a cute kid!
Today’s Photo
Today’s picture comes from one of the recently-restored photo galleries… a picture of the house my father used to live in, in Somerville, Massachusetts:
The ancestral manse of the Woods
I took the photo last summer while taking some classes in Somerville. My father lived in this house circa 1943-1946.
More Photo Backlog
I re-uploaded a few more old photo albums today:
Somerville (Dad’s childhood home town. I took some classes there last summer)
Walden Pond (Becky, Jenn, and I visited Walden Pond in Concord last summer)
Photo Backlog
For whatever reason, this morning I decided to export and upload some photos that were in my old gallery, but I never got around to putting back up in the gallery on my new site. So anyway, here are some old but new photo albums for you to peruse:
MRRA Festival Regatta (Corey raced in this with the Angry Fish)
Easter in Ohio 2002 (This was probably the last trip I would take without Becky)
Halibut Point (Becky, Jenn and I took a trip to Halibut Point in Rockport, Mass last spring)
On that note, if there are any photo galleries you remember being on my old gallery, and would like to see again on our site, please let me know! I will do my best to get them back up there. 🙂
Donkey Hote
Here’s a shot that should be good for a laugh!
Peter and Becky have an adventure whilst on their honeymoon.
Have a nice Saturday!
First Day of Spring!
Happy First Day of Spring! In celebration, I’d like to present today’s picture:
It’s not actually in one of my galleries, I had not gotten around to putting those pictures back online after I moved to prwdot.org, so I just pulled that one pic out of iPhoto and uploaded it. Enjoy! 🙂
PRAY FOR PEACE
One of my biggest time killing hobbies lately has been ‘blogsurfing’. Basically I jump from one blog to another, reading what looks interesting and skipping over that which isn’t. It seems like every blog I’ve come across lately has somthing to say about the WAR.
I have been trying to decide if I want to throw my hat into the ring. It took me a couple days to figure out just what I wanted to say.
I have very complicated feelings on war. Deep in my heart I know that it is wrong and that nothing acomplished is worth the loss of lives and the pain that it puts us all through. But in my head I can understand the reasoning behind this WAR and I feel the need to support my country. I think I will forever be a fence sitter.
This WAR has affected me differently than other military engagements have in my short 24 years. I believe this is because this is the first time I have known someone that is involved.
I watch the news at night and the shots of Marines in the desert make me cry. I look at them and think that any one of those short haired, brown clad soldies could be David.
I don’t know if those of you who read this know any soldiers either here or abroad. If you do I’m sure you are praying for them. If you don’t I’d like to invite you to pray for SGT. David Lee in the US Marines. He’s 21 and we’d all like him to come home safely.
Just Pray for PEACE
