The MS150 – we totally freakin ROCKT it!!

Two days, 150 miles (actually about 156) on that little bike seat.  We start at Woodcrest PATCO station, ride to Ocean City, NJ for Mack ‘n’ Manco’s Pizza and Johnson’s caramel popcorn, and then we wake up at dawn and bring that sucker home!  All to raise money to fight Multiple Sclerosis.  It was our first time doing the ride since cancer, and that, plus good weather, good, friends and an amazing cause, made it the best one yet!

@emopause and @TheLucyDog took my mop to New Hampshire for a long weekend

This is the first batch of pictures from our extended weekend in New Hampshire.  Em’s sister and husband have a beautiful place there where we could party with her folks and where I could spend my much-deserved down-time getting pummeled by a blond six-year-old.  So relaxing!  At least @TheLucyDog got to take full advantage of the downtime.

After Oscar (said blond tornado) went to bed, we could be embarrassed at Scrabble by sister Sarah who got the homonym bonus by nailing “sighs” and “size” in the same devastating move FOR THE WIN!

JazzFest (which ended ten days ago) chewed me up and spit me out. I’m still recovering.

Anyway, here are the pictures.  I’m going to continue trying to get my life together after that onslaught of music, partying, chow, music, fun, music and more music and MORE MUSIC!!

I’m living around the corner from a major stop on the Underground Railway

Don’t know where anything is; don’t know if I live in Haddon Township or Westmont (might be both!); don’t know how to work the microwave (the what?); no curtains on the windows –  this level of disorientation actually reminds me of college!

But the Phillies are 5-1 to start the season and the FiOS is furiously fast.  Plus, I learned last night that our house is just around the corner from Saddler’s Woods, a major stop on the the Underground Railway.  Let freedom ring!
