Hello, New Jersey!

I arrived back in NJ last week, and I have been having fun with my folks ever since. They live in a great house on the Jersey Shore, so ocean views every day, and sometimes even a glimpse of the NYC skyline. As my Mom says, its all about the view!

I got here a week ago, and its been nothing but good times since. When I arrived, Mom told me that Dad thought it would be a great idea to go to a show that night. She couldn't remember what it was called, but it didn't really matter. I was delighted that we were going, and that Dad had thought of it! So, off we went.

To a one-woman show about the perils of dating. Not bad, actually, and the largely female audience seemed to enjoy it. Dad was one of maybe five guys in the audience, because he is a Renaissance Man, and open to discussing all manner of topics, even why men suck, and then turn out to be only misunderstood.

Since then, the pace of life has slowed considerably. I wake up much later, and therefore go to bed much later. I've already read a couple of books. And most importantly, I've spent a lot of quality time with my folks, which was the whole point. So, great times, but a bit less photo-friendly. I did try last weekend, and all I have to show for it is the picture below.

We went for a walk at the Long Branch Boardwalk. It was a beautiful day, and a great day for a walk. We just strolled up and down the walk, people watching and enjoying the breeze. I got this picture of Dad, which is a very familiar one. I have countless pictures of my Dad just like this one, pointing off into the horizon at something interesting that is always out of frame. I wonder what he was talking about?

Anyway, I'll try to pick it up on the picture taking to help illustrate the Jersey Shore in the future.
