The Northside / Sea Goat / whatever...
Lots has been going on! We’re very excited to welcome a new baby into our family – potentially named the Northside or EEK, the Sea Goat?! Our new boat - a 21’ Cobia! We came to the realization that the fixer-upper approach wasn’t going to get us on the water any time soon. And if any of you have made the trip to Sandy Neck with us in the smaller boat, you know that you’re not always guaranteed to fit for a ride back before the tide reaches your shorts.
Problem solved! Exit car payment, enter much smaller boat payment. We’re now better equipped to gather up a plentitude of friends, and much safer to take our nieces and nephew for a ride. The first voyage will take place on my BIRTHDAY weekend next weekend!

Aside from all that hoopalah, we spent four days this past weekend helping the Pashbys build a large deck around their new hot tub – can’t wait to reap the rewards when it’s all completed! Our training for our suddenly planned Fairfield Half-Marathon is going great as well – we’re up past six miles right now and hoping to reach eight this weekend. Makes four seem like chump change, which is an odd mental state to be in. Four was my “long run” like two weeks ago.
Gary and our friend Paul are heading over to Martha’s Vineyard this Saturday evening for the overnight fly-fishing tournament, while myself and Kristin cuddle up at home with various wedding prep (their wedding in August), a good girly movie or two, and the requisite bottles of wine. The two of them are moving to DC at the end of this month, which we don’t like to talk about, so it’ll be fun to have this weekend farewell.
Lastly…
Our friend Nathan, in whose honor we ride the Ride for Brain Tumor Research each year, is going through a tough time right now. Our thoughts and embraces are with him, Kim, and their families as they call upon their strength and faith right now to meet the challenges.
I hope you all find sunshine in your day!
