Have a Great Weekend!

Tonight is the beginning of another busy weekend for Lori and I. She is going to try and leave work a little early today (her boss has left for the day already) and be here by 5:30 instead of her usual time of 6:00. That will give a 1/2 hour to "say hello" before heading to her place. Tonight at 8:00 we have dinner reservations at Barbecue Bill's and then tomorrow we are going to the Harvest Festival in Aquebogue (nobody knew how to pronounce Aquebogue yesterday, so I'm raising it to 100 points to everyone that can.)

So, have a nice weekend y'all if I don't talk to you before Monday.

Got this in an email yesterday and though you'd get a kick out of it.

HNT – Another Busy Weekend

Friday night I picked Lori up after work and drove her to her place so she could get ready to go out that evening. Lori made us a drink which we had while she got ready. About 6:30 we left and walked into town to the restaurant. Lori lives right in the town of Greenport so we decided walking was a wiser choice than driving, being that we would be drinking and all. Two of Lori's children came with us. We ate dinner at the Blue Harbor Café on Front Street.

Dinner was simple; sandwiches, a burger, a couple salads and one drink each. It was good, but I was a bit startled to say the least when the check came and it was just over $130.00. I knew that had to be wrong, so I quickly checked the addition and saw that she had added wrong. I got about $89.00, not the $130.00 she came up with. Still a lot of money for what we had as far as I was concerned. I took the check up to the register and the waitress assured me the check was correct. “There’s tax too”, she said. My reply was “Not $40.00 worth.” (We have a sales tax of 8.625 fucking % in the county we live in). The bartender checked the addition on a calculator and sure enough, the waitress added wrong and the check was just over $89.00. I gave her $110.00 which included the tip.

After dinner the kids walked home and Lori and I left to meet up with a Blogger you may all know, FelicityA, but that didn’t work out because of cell phone difficulty, so Lori and I walked around town for awhile before going back to her place.

We had a good time, like we always do, in town. We sat close on a bench for awhile, talked and then took a ride on the town carousel. Lori got the gold ring and they gave her a ticket for a free ride.

We walked around for a little while and checked out a few bars in town, but every one of them was packed (except the local dive) so we went back to Lori’s place. We watched TV, had a couple of drinks and then went to bed. We snuggled before falling asleep, but I didn’t sleep well at all that night. The bed was comfortable enough all right, but for some reason I just couldn’t stay asleep.

The next morning Lori made some coffee and english muffins for breakfast while I waited in bed. (In case your interested, I always sleep naked, so of course I was naked while waiting for breakfast.)

After breakfast Lori, her daughter and I walked around town together because that day was the annual Greenport Maritime Festival. There was a light rain when we first went out and rained off and on for about another hour, but then stopped.


After the parade, the local Greek Orthodox church had a ceremony where they tossed a cross in the water by the town docks, and some kids dive in and be the one to get the cross. The boy that got the cross was given a trophy and a gold cross from a monitary. I saw a huge crowd following the Bishop and other clergy down to the dock. We walked over to the next dock and got a front row seat, well, front row standing spot, and watched the ceremony from there. Here are a few pictures of that event.

After that was over we walked around town checking out the vendors. I had a couple of beers and Lori’s daughter got something to eat. We did this for a couple of hours then walked back to Lori’s place so we could pick up our stuff. We were spending the rest of the weekend at my house.

Saturday night we had dinner, but damned if I can remember what we did for dinner. I do remember that we watched some movies and snuggled. I remember having Smart Food popcorn and Lori had some chips to snack on while we watched the movies.

Sunday morning we had breakfast out by the pool. I made coffee and egg sandwiches on toasted english muffins with american cheese. Wait! Lori toasted the english muffin!

Don't you just love my hair in that shot? I think that is one of my best "bed hairs" ever.

After breakfast Lori asked me to paint her toenails for her. I had been promising to do it for her for a few weeks, but just kept forgetting, so I said yes. Here’s the procedure we followed.

1. Shake polish gently to assure it is properly mixed.


2. The paintee, gently puts foot on the painter’s lap and the painter dips the brush in the polish and wipes off excess so as not to drip it on clothing or make a mess of the toes.


4. The painter paints all the toenails. being careful not to get anypolish on the skin or make a mess. Note: Toenail polish is paint and that shit don't come out of you get it on anything.


4. Repeat said procedure for each toe for as many times as it takes to do them all.


5. The paintee shall then rest their feet someplace until the polish dries. In this case, it was my lap. What do you think I was thinking at that moment?


I felt like cooking on Saturday so we went grocery shopping. We bought a bag-0-salad, some bratwurst, cauliflower, cheese sauce to put on the cauliflower and some buns for the brats. We bought two kinds of cauliflower, a purple head and an orange head.

When it was time to cook dinner, Lori asked me to pick the cauliflower I wanted to eat. They both looked good so I asked Lori to hold them up side by side to make choosing easier for me. That didn't help me decide because I loved them both. Which one would you have chosen?


Since I couldn't pick the one I liked best, we decided to have the purple one, since purple is one of my favorite colors. Lori put the other one in her car and cooked it Monday night with her dinner. I also made some pork and beans. Here are couple of pictures of the dinner I made.

Yummy! A mixed salad with blue cheese dressing. Cauliflower with cheese sauce. (Note: The purple cauliflower changed the color of the cheese. It tasted a whole lot better than it looks.) Pork & beans. Brats on a roll with mustard and lots of raw onion. Man, that was a good dinner!

WARNING: If you are offened by your lovers onion breath or the scent of their flatulance, don't have this too close to going to bed. Note: We don't mind it one bit! It's a real comfort finding someone that loves raw onions as much as we both do and someone that understands people fart and doesn't mind it at all. You know it's love when you find someone like that so don't let them go!


Here's the dinner table set all pretty and stuff. Notice the candles. I wanted it to be a romantic dinner and thought they would do the trick. You can see one of the candles just to the left of the dressing.

I don't think Lori was too happy I took this picture of her with her mouth full. Do you?

After Lori cleaned up from dinner, (remember, I cook, she cleans up) we watched some movies before retiring for a good night’s sleep. Lori had work the next day so we couldn’t stay up late.

The next day Lori left and went to her car to drive to work. As soon as she opened the door the odor from the cauliflower hit her. She said the inside of the car smelled like someone had farted in there. She drove the ½ hour to work with her car windows rolled down. The moral to this part of the story is “Don’t leave cauliflower in your car over night because the car will smell like shit the next day.”


PS
Next weekend Lori and I are going out to dinner with all three of her kids on Friday night. Saturday we are spending the day at the Harvest Festival in Aquebogue (Go ahead, try and pronounce Aquebogue. 50 points to everyone that can.) Then it is back to my place for the remainder of the weekend.

TMI Tuesday #50

I saw this for the first time last week on No One's blog. It looked like fun, so this week I decided to play along. If you decide to play along, pop over here and let them know.

1. What's the longest you've ever gone without a shower?
We never had a shower in our bath tubs, while I was growing up, so we only took baths. The first actual shower I ever took was when I was about 12 years old. My best friend moved to a newer house and that one had a shower. Whenever I spent the night at his house, I showered.

Since this question really means going without bathing, I say once when I was young, I didn't bathe or shower for about 1 month. I'd just run the water in the tub, splash the water for a bit and then wet my hair. I don't remember why I did that, but I did. I usually went swimming everyday in the river, so that probably kept the body odor at bay for a while.

Then when I was wounded in Vietnam, I wasn't allowed to bathe or shower for about for about 1 1/2 months, due to so many open wounds. They did give me a lot of sponge baths though, so I don't know if this one counts.

2. Do you use a q-tip? If so, how often?
Sure I do. I clean my ears out after showering. I love the feeling I get when I clean out my ears. The rolling and twisting of the q-tips is hot and I ....... Sorry, I think this really my be TMI for most of you.

3. Do you have any piercings, if so where? Any for sexual purposes?
NO! ABSOLUTLY NOT! NEVER IN A MILLION, TRILLION, BAZILLION YEARS!

4. Oral sex... give or receive?
YES! Both, giving and receiving! Want to hear a story? Sure you do. The first time I ever got oral sex, I was watching a porno movie with my late wife. We had been married about 20 years at the time. It took about another 5 years before she would let me give her oral.

5. Sex while on the period... ick?
Sure, why not? I wouldn't give the lady oral sex while she is having her period, but I'm open to anything else.

Bonus as in optional: Tell me your fantasy... details!
In one word, "THREESOME". That would be me and two women. The thought of watching two women having there way with each other, while rolling around naked with me and me joining in whenever I wanted, is HOT!!! Want to hear another story? Okay, you talked me into it.

The closest I've ever come to a threesome was the night two women were tongue kissing on my lap. One night in the late 90's, I think, I was leaning against the bar while sitting on the floor of my friends 50-something foot boat. I was sitting on the floor because there were a bunch of us on the boat and that's about the only place left to sit. We were all pretty drunk from a long day and night of drinking. His wife was sitting on the floor on one one side of me and another friends wife was on the other side. This large dog was sitting on my lap and the two ladies and me were all petting the dog. The two woman started giving each other the eye and before you knew it, they leaned in toward each other and kissed. I looked over on the couch at their husbands and they were laughing and everyone was smiling, especially me because these ladies faces were about 2-inches from mine. I put my hands on the two ladies backs and while pushing them back toward each other and asked them if they could do better than that. The reply was unspoken, but positive and they leaned back toward each other started tongue kissing like crazy. It stopped after a minute or two and that was about it. I did hear rumors the next day about other wilder things going on that night, but unfortunately I never got to see them.

FYI: Check out this old post of mine for a picture of one of the women in this story. She's the blonde in the pictures. I've never posted a picture other woman, but take it from me, she was equally as attractive, but was a brunette.

FYI

On this coming 4th day of November,

I will be 58 years young.

And you know what?

I am snuggling my ass off more than ever!!!!!

Saddle Shoes HNT

Lori modeled her saddle shoes for me last weekend.



She didn't wear them for very long,
but this weekend I'm not going to let her take them off,
not even when we.....
.....uh.....
snuggle.

;-)

WTF IS THIS!

The weekend Lori and I went out to Montauk Point, we walked around the point on the rocks stacked up to help prevent erosion.

When we came around the point we saw this concrete thing sticking out of the sand. The people in the picture are teenagers so you can see that this thing is quite large.


Does anyone have any idea what this thing is?

There are rumors that it's a long lost sea entry point used to enter the under ground UFO base at Camp Hero at Montauk Point. I was a little sceptical when I first heard this theory, but there is plenty of proof on the Internet to back this theory up. Here are just a few factual things I found.

1. Camp Hero near Montauk Point - Long Island, NY. 8-Level Base that connects to the ITT center in New Jersey. The ITT center also has a connection/link to the Sub-Global Network.

2. The Montauk Project: Experiments in Time by Preston B. Nichols and Peter Moon is the first book (ISBN 0-9631889-0-9) in a popular series detailing time travel experiments at the Montauk Air Force Base at the eastern tip of Long Island as part of the Montauk Project.

3. Alien Species of Reptilian Heritage: Here's a passage from the story. “The two other areas where these winged reptilians have been most often reported are of course below Dulce, New Mexico and also within the 8-levelled underground system beneath Camp Hero near Montauk Point, Long Island where a joint Nazi [American Corporate & European Militant Nazi's], Gray, and Reptiloid base exists...”

4. Check out this picture from a very realiable investigator of exactly the same object Lori and i saw that day.

Proof enough for you? If you need more proof, just Google "montauk point alien base" and see for yourself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just kidding about the alien stuff, but there really is an abandoned military base named Camp Hero in Montauk.

Seriously, does anyone have any idea what this thing really is?

Thank You

The Cab Ride

I received the following story in an email from my cousin Amy in Pennsylvania.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Cab Ride

Twenty years ago, I drove a cab for a living. When I arrived at 2:30 a.m., the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window. Under these circumstances, many drivers would just honk once or twice, wait a minute, and then drive away.

But I had seen too many impoverished people who depended on taxis as their only means of transportation. Unless a situation smelled of danger, I always went to the door. This passenger might be someone who needs my assistance, I reasoned to myself.

So I walked to the door and knocked.

"Just a minute", answered a frail, elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor.

After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 80's stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat with a veil pinned on it, like somebody out of a 1940s movie.

By her side was a small nylon suitcase. The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets.

There were no clocks on the walls, no knickknacks or utensils on the counters. In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware.

"Would you carry my bag out to the car?" she said. I took the suitcase to the cab, then returned to assist the woman.

She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the curb.

She kept thanking me for my kindness. "It's nothing", I told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated."

"Oh, you're such a good boy", she said. When we got in the cab, she gave me an address, and then asked, "Could you drive through downtown?"

"It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly.

"Oh, I don't mind," she said. "I'm in no hurry. I'm on my way to a hospice".

I looked in the rear-view mirror. Her eyes were glistening. "I don't have any family left," she continued. "The doctor says I don't have very long." I quietly reached over and shut off the meter.

"What route would you like me to take?" I asked.

For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator.

We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds. She had me pull up in front of a furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.

Sometimes she'd ask me to slow in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.

As the first hint of sun was creasing the horizon, she suddenly said, "I'm tired. Let's go now"

We drove in silence to the address she had given me. It was a low building, like a small convalescent home, with a driveway that passed under a portico.

Two orderlies came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up. They were solicitous and intent, watching her every move. They must have been expecting her.

I opened the trunk and took the small suitcase to the door. The woman was already seated in a wheelchair.

"How much do I owe you?" she asked, reaching into her purse.

"Nothing," I said

"You have to make a living," she answered. "There are other passengers," I responded. Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly.

"You gave an old woman a little moment of joy," she said. "Thank you."

I squeezed her hand, and then walked into the dim morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life

I didn't pick up any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly lost in thought. For the rest of that day, I could hardly talk. What if that woman had gotten an angry driver, or one who was impatient to end his shift? What if I had refused to take the run, or had honked once, then driven away?

On a quick review, I don't think that I have done anything more important in my life.

We're conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments. But great moments often catch us unaware-beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.

PEOPLE MAY NOT REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID, OR WHAT YOU SAID, ~BUT~THEY WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL.’

You won't get any big surprise in 10 days if you send this to ten people. But, you might help make the world a little kinder and more compassionate by sending it on.

Thank you, my friends...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This story took me back to the summer of 2004. My late wife Barbara had finally accepted that her brain cancer was terminal and wanted to do a few special things one last time before she died. Just like the old lady in this story. One thing I remember in particular, was she wanted to take a car ride out to the east end of Long Island and visit some of her favorite places.

It was a Saturday, not exactly sure what day and we took the drive. We stopped at a few wineries, ate a lobster roll at her favorite place for them, The Lobster Roll and drove out to Montauk Point.

When we got to Montauk Point, I wheeled her in her wheel chair up to the wall which was at the eastern most point of Long Island over looking the ocean. Thank goodness the wall was low enough for her to see over while she was sitting in the wheel chair. I pointed out Block Island and Connecticut for her. She then asked me to point to Europe, which I also did. We weren’t there for more than 10 minutes when she asked to leave.

We drove around the area for awhile so she could see the places she spend so many summers with her family. Her father and mother would rent one house and her aunt and uncle one next to them. All her relatives from Brooklyn and Long Island would come out at one time or the other during the summer and spend some time with them. The men would take the long drive back to work each Monday and return on Friday after work.

Barbara, Brian and I spend a lot of time each summer out on the east end of Long Island after we got our boat, the B.T. Express. We usually stayed a few days or maybe a week at one marina or the other, but usually tried to stay at the Montauk Yacht Club. One year we even took the boat to Newport Rhode Island.

Before Barbara was no longer able to make these long drives, I took her to a few other places she wanted to visit. Like the cab driver in the story said, "I don't think that I have done anything more important in my life."

It was the least I could do.

HNT - ANOTHER INTERESTING WEEKEND

Friday was the start of a very interesting extended weekend. Lori, one of her daughters and I took the ferry out of Orient Point here on Long Island to New London Connecticut.

(Note: This is a long one, so if you don't want to read it, skip to the end for the token nudity.)


The ferry ride costs $44 for the car a driver (that driver would be me) and takes about 1 ½ hours. It’s either that or a 4-½ hour, 200-mile car ride through New York City and along the Connecticut coast.

Which route would you have taken?

From New London we drove about 50 miles up to Lori’s brother’s place. The trip was about an hour.


Lori’s brother’s family lives in a 170-year-old house.


The house is right on the main road, which makes trying to sleep a challenge, and it’s about a ¼ mile down wind from a dairy farm. Lori’s brother told me the dairy spreads the manure over the fields about every other day.

“I knew I recognized that odor when we got out of the car.”

We stayed with her brother until Monday morning. The only bedroom that was available was on the second floor but had no bed to sleep on. So Lori packed two twin sized air mattresses for us to sleep on. They were actually pretty comfortable, but getting up off of them was, to say the least, a challenge for jolly old BTExpress (that would be me). I forgot to take a picture of that, sorry.

Saturday Lori, her brother, his wife and I went to a very large antique fair in Brimfield, Massachusetts.


It’s advertised as the “largest outdoors antique show in New England, with over 5000 dealers from all over the country”.


I can believe it when they say it’s the largest. We arrived about 9:30 am and left at almost 5:00 PM. That was 7 ½ hours and about gazillion miles of walking and we didn’t even come close to seeing the whole thing. Here are a few pictures from the fair.





We thought the clown head in the jar looked liked the head of an evil killer clown that was removed to keep the clown from killing again. That is until someone that had the clowns headless body put the head back on and let the clown run amuck once again. What do you think?

I saw a lot of very strange things at the fair. Right after we got there we walked over to one corner at the far end and saw this old lady with one blind, gray eye that pointed off to the right and what looked like her evil killer son. The old lady even cackled when she talked. I rush Lori out of there pretty quick cause this old lady looked evil and had things for sale that were obviously possessed by evil demon curses.

And that wasn’t even the strangest thing I saw that day. While Lori was looking at one booth, I wandered off and came across a booth that had a lot of old nazi pins, a small, oval plaque that had punched out the words “MEMBER IN GOOD STANDING OF THE KKK” and an 8 ½ by 11 inch framed ‘sculpture” (I don’t know what else to call it) of a skull and cross bones made out of fucking HUMAN TEETH!!!!!! NO SHIT! HUMAN TEETH! I could tell they were human because I saw a lot of my son’s baby teeth and these looked all discolored like real teeth. The thing looked very old too.

At another booth near by I saw mixed in amongst the arrowheads and all other kinds of stuff, two stone-carved figures of a small man. The man was about three inches tall and sticking out the front was a dick about six inches long. These must have been some of the oldest dildoes made.

Sorry, no pictures of this stuff either.

My poor feet hurt so badly that when they went back for day two at the fair on Sunday, I stayed home at her brother’s. I had a good time watching football games and drinking beer.

Okay, the trip to the fair was a 45-minute, 22-mile car ride through very rural countryside. Round trip, about 50 miles. We had to take a detour on the way home due to a traffic jam of everyone trying to get out of Brimfield at the end of the day. I didn’t have to drive this leg of our journey so saved my car a few miles.

Sunday night we all met Lori’s parent in a restaurant in Putnam CT to celebrate her father’s 81st birthday. Then Monday morning, since everyone had left for work and school when we woke up, Lori and I had awesome, hot sex snuggled before we left for Lori’s parents house. We stopped at the Dunkin Donuts in Putnam for breakfast sandwiches and coffee. Then drove the back roads the rest of the way to her parent’s house in Johnston, Rhode Island.


That trip was about 45 minutes and 40 miles.

I spend most of that day working on her mother’s computers. First it was the web cam that didn’t record sound and then the old laptop that hadn’t been updated in the three years her mom had it. Then I installed a program on the laptop so her dad could chat on line with an old friend that lives on an island off the coast of China teaching school. We also watched a few home movies that were put on VHS tapes. One was of the time her dad was in Alaska in 1948. He flew planes in the army. Another one was of a family reunion from last January.

Monday morning we woke up Lori and I fooled around snuggled before a breakfast of coffee and her father’s world famous pancakes. Damn, he makes good pancakes! He gave me his secret so I’m going to see if I can duplicate his recipe. I’m very flattered he gave me his recipe for pancakes. That must mean he likes me.

We left for the ferry and home at a little after 1:00 PM. Lori’s daughter stayed behind for a visit the rest of the week. I’ll bring her back home to her house next Saturday.

See, next Saturday I’m taking Lori back up to Connecticut by ferry for her family reunion in Ashaway, RI.


That’s about a 20 mile, 20 minute drive from New London, Connecticut where the ferry docks. We are only going for the day and coming back in the evening. I really missed my bed and the thought of sleeping on the pullout sofa again that soon, just isn’t appealing to me.

Well my friends, that’s another chapter in the retired life of yours truly, Tony, aka, BTExpress.

One more thing.

The last time I made a Half-Nekkid Thursday post without nudity, I heard about it. (You know who you are and thank you so very much.) So even though I have no naked shots of Lori or me from our trip last weekend, I’m going to post a picture from an old HNT post so I don’t hear about it again. So, for my fellow horn dogs and for your voyeuristic pleasures, here's a token HNT shot of me more than half nekkid watching one of my favorite movies.

I remember these things..........

........all TOO well.

Ya, this is really me.

Anniversary HNT

This past weekend Lori and I celebrated our "Sixth Month Anniversary". We met for the first time on March 4, 2006. Monday, September 4th was the actual anniversary date, but we celebrated all weekend. Here's a picture of Lori and me on our first date.


Friday night we went out to dinner for Italian food. Then we came home, showered and watched DVDs and snuggled in bed until we fell a sleep about 2:30 am.

Saturday I cooked breakfast (eggs over easy and fried SPAM) and we spent the day shopping and watched some more movies until we fell a sleep.

Sunday we went to "Bradstock XIII".


Bradstock is was day of music, food, friends and free soda, bottled water and beer. The festival’s "focus (is) on our environment and a determination to raise funds from the party to be given away to area organizations”. The event started at 10:AM and ran until 10:00 PM that night. They had two stages for the bands set up side-by-side. They started playing at 10:00 AM and a new band started every hour, so the music was non-stop. Since it was Sunday, the beer didn’t start being served until noon, but was free and all you could drink. There were six different beers from a local microbrewery, the Blue Point Brewery. The best part was I met some friends I hadn’t seen in a long time and Lori and I were invited by my friend Scott, his wife and friends to sit with them. I worked with Scott at my last job and we became good friends.

We had a great time and left about 8:30 PM. Here are some pictures we took at Bradstock.



When we got home, we ate the leftovers from Friday night’s dinner, watched some “adult” movies and snuggled until we fell a sleep. I have a copy of this so we watched it first.


Monday we went out to breakfast at Lori's favorite diner and then recreated our first date. Lori thought of doing this.

In the afternoon, we went to the movies at the same movie theater I took her too on our first date.


The first time we when to the movies we saw “Firewall” with Harrison Ford.


This time we saw “Snakes On a Plane”.


Both really good movies.

After the movie we went to Kenny’s Pub. That is the place I’ve told you so much about in my old posts. Kenny’s went out of business so we couldn’t go inside, but we still went there.


On the way to Kenny's, we stopped at a liquor store and bought a couple of shots of something so we could toast to Kenny’s and our anniversary.


Then I drove over to Kenny’s. We sat on a bench out front and made our toast.


Six months ago we ate dinner at Kenny’s, but since it was closed, we had to go somewhere else for dinner. Lori wanted to have the same thing we had on our first date; hamburgers, but this time with raw onion. We went to Ruby Tuesday for “Alpine Swiss Burgers: Peppercorn-seasoned burger topped with Swiss cheese and fresh sautéed Portobello mushroom slices”. I drank beer and Lori had Jack & Coke.

When we finished dinner, we went home. We couldn’t end the date like we did that first date, because….. well…… never mind. Let me just say we couldn’t. We did lie in bed close together cuddling and watched a movie until we fell a sleep.

Tuesday morning Lori left for work about 8:00 AM and will spend the rest of the week at to her place.

Another jam packed weekend for Tony & Lori, huh?

The fun continues this coming weekend. Friday afternoon we are taking the ferry over to Connecticut and visiting Lori’s brother and her parents. This is one of the weekends Lori and her brother go to one of those big fairs up where he lives. We will be at her brother’s place until Monday morning and then drive over to Rhode Island and visit her parents. We’ll take the ferry back to Greenport here on Long Island Monday afternoon.
