Conrads of the North Visit

We go the playground, visit the NYC Transit Museum, and grill some London Broil.

Thanksgiving in Massachusetts

We join C& J, the kids, and mom in Massachusetts for Thanksgiving. Massachusetts is the original home of Turkey Day. Now it also houses snow, good seafood, and grumpy people.

Mess

I need to send a huge thanks to my in-laws who helped us out all day Sunday unpacking, shimming large furniture, fixing the washing machine, and spackling the old place.

We're Not Twins

Two of these people are brothers. Neither of them are twins. One is a niece who likes to get into pictures and makes them cuter immediately.

The beard might have to go.

Jerry Dinner

Whenever Jerry is in town on business, I normally score a free dinner. Here is the same thing in 2002: http://old.brooklyntrout.com/archives/000022.html

I think he is wearing the same shirt.

The Red Bulls--Great Soccer In Our Backyard

On Saturday, I joined my brother-in-law and father-in-law for a Red Bulls soccer game. It's a ton of fun. You can get to the arena in just 20 minutes on the Path commuter train.

New Mailbox for Mom

Last weekend Dan and I put up a new mailbox for Mom. It was great because I got to use tools.

Lena's Makes Me Happy

My brother and sister-in-law have started a food blog of original recipes, restaurant reviews, and lots of photos at http://foodielawyer.com.

Don't Look Down

My father-in-law caught this pic of me swimming laps this Sunday. He knows I have a minor shark phobia.

M&N Wedding

Last weekend, the mlw and I flew to Houston for her cousin's wedding. They are having a large ceremony in Mexico later this year, so they had to make it legal in the US at the court house.
