I think the founders of Webster had suicide issues before establishing the town.

Multiple Generations
I just got my dad donfortier to sign up for livejournal. It’s weird knowing that my parents are signed on to my blog. Ah. In the words of my father after I perpetrated a particularly ribald comment in front of them and my friends “We know what he’s capable of”. I love my parents. NoContinue reading “Multiple Generations”
In the arms of family
I lucked out yesterday and flew standby on an earlier flight to Rochester. I’m staying with my folks for about 10 days. My sister also lives in Rochester, and I just about shit when I saw her. She has lost another 70# making the weight she has lost a total of 150#. It’s fucking incredibleContinue reading “In the arms of family”
A New York state of limbo
I checked out the American Museum of Natural History today. That was pretty cool. There’s a particular smell to New York, and it often has an undernote of urine (or at least a urine finish). I’m having a blast hanging out with my brother. We’ve been vegging out watching TV, and that’s just my speedContinue reading “A New York state of limbo”
The Big Apple
I’ve finally made it to my brother’s place in Brooklyn. It was touch and go to the finish. I got all the way to the apartment only to find that his roomate wasn’t home as promised. After a flurry of phone calls, it was discovered that he was on his way there, and showed upContinue reading “The Big Apple”
Nature’s surprises
We went to a place called Schoodic Penninsula yesterday, which is a part of Acadia NP that is not on MDI (Mount Desert Island). It was friggin beautiful and sparsely populated. It’s my new favorite part of Acadia. The link is to pictures of the place and the people I went with. The surprise cameContinue reading “Nature’s surprises”
The Crunch
These are my last days in Maine, and myself and my compatriates are all coming to the end of our contracts. So we’ve been getting as much in as we can. I’ve made some great friends here, and I’m super happy that I got to do this this summer. Jen and Larrance rock, and ImprovacadiaContinue reading “The Crunch”
Bar Harbor Diaries 8/15
One of the cool things about working in Bar Harbor is that you can get to do touristy things for free. If there is room on certain cruises, they will let island employees ride for free. That’s how we got to do this Whales and Puffins tour out on the Atlantic a couple of daysContinue reading “Bar Harbor Diaries 8/15”
Holy Crap!
I have exactly two weeks left until I’m finished here at Improvacadia. It’s crazy because I’m having such a blast at this point. Onward to weddings and visitations. First stop is the big apple to see my brother Todd in Brooklyn. He’s managing some restaurant called Harrison’s. I’m excited to go see him in hisContinue reading “Holy Crap!”
Addicted to Icewind Dale
Icewind Dale 2 is this computer game I’ve been playing, but I’m also reading a fantasy novel that is centered on the fictional region of Icewind Dale from the AD&D world of the Forgotten Realms. I’ve fallen into letting my inner geek and penchant for sloth gang up on me. Thank god there are otherContinue reading “Addicted to Icewind Dale”
