Here is an event you really should not miss

I had talked about our friend Glenn Eliot and his talent before but I wanted to let you know about an upcoming event of his. August 9th, in Friendship Park would be the day. I know, I know, this is really early notification but that is the way I run my life. Why should you be any different? huh?

Anyway. Be there. I promise you an evening of wonderful music by a very talented local musician.

namaste.

Home is where the heart is

Went to see Riverdance at the Hershey Theatre on Saturday. The dancing? Ummm, not so much. The music, so very worth it. The drummer had to be the hardest working man in music today. He never stopped beating on something.

Got me thinking about the way we, as the children of immigrants, are always thinking of home.

Ok. So I am always the one thinking about home, but still. Anyway, being the son of immigrants from England, specifically Essex, England I have reached out to a genealogy group in the UK. Yeah, I am a geek with way too much time on my hands today.

more as I find it out.

And now it is peanut butter and yelley time

The eldest son has a girlfriend. That is a good thing. We are happy for him. We sometimes feel sorry for her, as he has managed to inheirit my passive aggressive tendencies.

What ev’s.

Yelley is writing a blog about yarn and knitting called It’s peanut butter yelley time.

Yelley also talks about the things that are going on in their life at this time. Included in this is a really funny account of their house hunting. At least I found it funny, though I am sure that the kids didn’t, and don’t. But that is the breaks of looking for a house in an economic downturn. There are tons of property out there to sell, but no one wants to really sell it because they won’t be making a killing from it.

Go figure.

Crabby Patties

I make the bestest crabby patties that there are out there. Just ask me, and I will tell you.
Really. Phillips crab meat, and crab mix, then broil them for 5 minutes each side. Serve either by themselves, or put them on an onion roll and enjoy.

MMMMMMM.

Sounds good just reading about it, doesn’t it? You can be jealous, it is ok.

I also make some mean tacos.

We had a bunch of food this week. A bunch of food. I will be rolling home next to the van on Saturday. And then the cut back on intake will begin yet again.

As we start our planning for next years vacation to the beach. We didn’t think that we would be coming back next year, but I got talking to a friend who mentioned that he and his wife would like to come down. I suggested we go in on a house, he thought that that was a good idea. Now we just have to get our wives on the same page, we are all set.

And I will do whatever I need to do to be able to come to the shore for vacation. And to The Flying Pig. Can’t forget The Flying Pig. Especially since they will be having to expand due to my promotion, and due to you, fair readers, as you journey down to the North Carolina coast for vacation.

Namaste.

Searching for WiFi

Inquiring Minds Want to Know

A few dozen of my most loyal readers wanted to know where I ended up in my search for WiFi on Oak Island.

Ok, a couple of my 10 readers wanted to know. Sheesh, that guilty conscious of mine gets to be a real drag at times.

The Flying Pig Coffeehouse is where I ended up. We tried Island Brews Coffee Shop, but had no luck in connecting. And one of you folks out there (Nick, who is heading for the shore as you are reading this. Have a safe trip, Nick.) did a google and came up with The Flying Pig Coffeehouse. So if you are heading to Oak Island, North Carolina and don’t have internet access in your house/condo you should head up to The Flying Pig Coffeehouse. The coffee is great, and they are really nice people.

I did let them know that after I post this, they will have to expand their business due to the phenomenon known as the Dodd Bump. Similar to the Colbert Bump, but different. I figured when the thousands of my readers decide that they have to come to North Carolina just because I did, the business’ that I give the Dodd Bump to will need to expand to handle the flow.

I can have my dreams, you can have yours.

Namaste.
