My buddy Megan would sum it up in three words: Dream come true. For years I've thought and talked about taking a bunch of friends home with me. "Well, old boy. We did it." We didn't run them off their feet, but we did gallavant around New England. Seven girlfriends, two cars, eleven states, eleven days (zero fights). Not bad for a couple of amateurs.
Let me tell the story in pictures. My camera is in convalescence, so these are all courtesy of Jamie and Kimberly. Some excellent ones from Jessica may follow, once Jamie gets them burned to disk.
Why This Blog Name
I'll never be Pollyanna, but my worldview says that life has purpose, and a happy heart can have a perpetual smorgasbord! This blog is my own little dinner party to celebrate both the obvious and the elusive joys of life.
In its early days, the blog celebrated a life in residential care with a heap of delightful young people. It has morphed with my jobs in social services, communications, and education. Now it peeks in on life overseas, as I learn another language and culture.
Yes, some of the jokes and highlights are "you-had-to-be-there" ones, but many are universal portrayals of human nature, complete with idiosyncrasies. Please come in and enjoy the feast!

Looks like a fun trip and a great group of girls! Glad you got to have a little adventurous break.
From all reports it was an amazing trip . . . I'm so glad y'all got to do that - AND glad that you got Jamie to go with you. =)
Two words:
Wicked cool!

I just got the DVD of my recital today, and whenever it panned the audience, all your friends looked wicked BORED. Hope that wasn't the low spot of the trip for them.
Tell Craig that the recital was awesome. I enjoyed it immensely! Sorry if I looked board.

That was such a fun trip!!!! Next stop, my house!!!! :-) I very much agree with Kimberly and Abby, Craig's concert was great!!! I too am sorry if I looked bored. :-(
Oops! I spelled "bored" wrong.

I feel much better! Heh, heh. I didn't exactly expect to get apologies for looking bored...but I guess this squeaky wheel just got a little grease. :-)
My dear Miss San . . .
you DO need to update this blog occasionally. ;)
