Nightly Laugh Therapy

You never know who you'll run into walking the streets of New York. We were out running errands yesterday, and ran into The Daily Show correspondents. Rob Riggle, and my absolute favorite correspondent John Oliver, were filming a segment on the current "controversial" New Yorker cover. We signed release forms to be on air, but didn't make the final cut. Still, it was great to see them in action because they look like they really love their job. John Oliver seems as sweet as he is funny.

Block Island - Part 3

Another day of biking took us to the Mohegan Bluffs. The bluffs are 250 feet above water. To reach the beach below you have to hike down a mile on a little winding road, and then walk down the 200 wooden steps, and lastly scramble down a small hill of rocks and sand. But it's well worth it when you reach the beach.

You have to love a vacation where these are the only shoes you need. In Block Island, formal means a pair of shorts. I do love a pair of cute shoes, but these are cute and comfortable, and you can't beat that.

Block Island - Part 2

We spent most of our trip exploring the island by bike. We divided the island into three parts, and went out each day to explore a different section. The island is dotted with ponds, and undulating hills, so it was a nice workout, and a gorgeous ride. One of our rides out was to the very tip of the island. We had to park the bikes and walk out a mile to where the waves meet. This is the sound side and the ocean side crashing together. We felt like explorers reaching the North Pole.

Block Island - Part 1

We just returned from a 4 day getaway to Block Island, RI. Block Island is a pit stop for migratory birds and summer lovers. Only 7 miles long and 3 miles wide, it is edged with gorgeous beaches, and stunning 250 foot bluffs. 50% of the island is preserved in its pristine natural splendor, and we fell in love with it.

Happy 4th

A sea of people, and a sky of gold. Happy 4th of July.

Tweaking

I am trying to tweak the template here to match our website. It's going to take awhile, and may not be pretty in the meantime, but I do love a challenge.

So You Think You Can Dance

I am in love with Fox's 'So You Think You Can Dance'. I try not to watch too much TV, but I just can't resist this show. The performers are SO talented. This is my favorite dance of the season so far. Watch this, and just try not to be moved.
