And Boom Goes The Dynamite

This St. Paddy’s Day weekend started out with a friggin’ hell of a snow storm. By Saturday morning we had over a foot of snow dumped on us. This didn’t stop me from seeing McCain however, nor did it stop me and the wife from going to (different) bars the night before (in the middle of the storm when the snow was coming down at a rate of 2 inches an hour) only to meet up later at a bar and go to another bar with some friends. 

Saturday night a bunch of my buddies from Boston College (as well as a couple from work) came over and we drank (in honor of Saint Patrick, naturally) until 330 in the morning. I think we might have watched some of the hoops game (and the unfortunate BC loss), as well as the amazing BC win over UNH in the Hockey East finals.   

Sunday morning was a little rough, but with some help from a local diner and plenty of “Vitamin G” things got better. K ended up going skiing with some friends and I tried to join them (I’d rather not discuss why I never made it up there). I ended up going to a Chinese restaurant for dinner (with the guys from work). The only reason I bring this up is because we sat at the bar (obviously) and the girl working there kept eating off the plates that she was clearing from the tables. She even yelled at one of my friends a little for half eating a piece of chicken and spitting it out on his plate (which she subsequently ate).  She was amazingly skinny however, and had a nice rack, so we let it slide.

All in all a pretty good weekend.    

McCain and his “Straight Talk Express” came to Milford NH on Saturday, March 17 (St. Paddy’s Day). I took a bunch of pictures. The good ones are here.

The other day I needed to bring my truck into the shop to get new brakes. There’s a VIP Auto about a mile from where I work, and since their slogan appeared to indicate that it wouldn’t cost me anything I decided to take it there. Knowing next to nothing about cars I figured this would be a quick and simple thing to do and I’d get back to work within an hour. Two and a half hours later I got bored and decided to walk around the store and take pictures of hilarious things with my camera phone. Here are some of the things I found: (more…)

Too lazy to talk about it…here are the pictures.

Last weekend Kim and I (and Sarah and Robger) went to Raleigh, NC. A lot of groups at my company are moving there, so we flew down (on the company dime) to check it out. If you’re still interested, read below. (more…)
