Big Families

My cousin Adam is marrying his fiance Rachel today. Adam is the cousin I’d say I’m close with for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is he’s a great guy. A majority of my father’s side of the family is here. My father is one of eleven children (now 10 since theContinue reading “Big Families”

Webster NY (where my parents really live)

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”
