*Ring Ring* weekenders!

Ah! Nothing like a good religious holiday to bring out the drinker in me!

Like I ever needed an excuse!

Just checking in. I have a lot planned. I don't have family so Easter will be going to Washington square park in NYC. It will be sunny and mild. They always have people playing music or doing all sorts of stuff. People watching and sipping some hot chocolate will make for a perfect day.

I am also trying to get the blog organized. It won't be fancy but it will out there. I have a lot of formatting to do and want custom graphics. But it's a sober project that will do what it needs to do. Keep me busy.


Yes this post is thinly disguised so I can share about the blog. You all inspired me and non pointed me in the direction. We are not supposed to push things here so I put it out the once to share. After that I will share only in my blog here about it.

Hey Jim... That's awesome on the 5th weekend!

I actually don't have much planned for food this weekend. I have a lot to get done around the house so I am taking a break.

And yes... You would certainly be invited!

I’m excited for you to get the ol’ blog a rollin’, Ken. Working on my second weekend here at Day 10 and I plan on taking throwing a big pork shoulder on the smoker tomorrow, taking the family to the beach on Saturday and then spending Easter at my parents. Should be a busy weekend and nothing cuts through those cravings like keeping active!

I hope y’all have a great weekend, as well. *ring ring*

I'm there Ken, i will be a faithful reader and i'm already a BIG FAN!!! (psst. someone else started a weekend thread, maybe you can ask the powers that be to blend them together)?

I am baking my poppyseed cake tonight and a big rich crusty casserole dish of scalloped potatoes for tomorrow's dinner at Little Miss Fandy's house. I am hoping that the Governor of NJ and the Prince of Wales postpone their trip to the jersey shore...I have no desire to see Governor Christy romping on the beach wearing a speedo....

Hey Fandy... I did not mean for this to be the weekend thread. I was just saying hello. I guess it does look that way. Oops

I posted on the weekend thread.

I am not sure the blog will be anything but rumblings. But I am having fun with it.

Fandy---Governor Christie in a Speedo?!! Gah! Talk about a challenge to one's sobriety...

Stay strong. Not to insult any of our fine British brothers and sisters but not sure the Prince of Wales in a Speedo is much better.

OK, too many unpleasant visuals there for me. Back to thinking about bacon.

Good luck down the shore this weekend, hope both the royalty and the mafia keep their pants on

Prince Harry is very cute unlike his Dad :>)

Ken, love reading you as always. Any tips for helping my recovering brother this weekend? He is visiting me from another town 300 miles away for the first time and needs meetings, which I think I have found. But any other ideas? Keep him busy?

Thanks Ken. There are some lovely forest walks around here too so will try one - I may get lost though as I am the type who has to turn the map upside down to navigate :>)

Any other ideas from you all will be very much appreciated...

Val! Lmao .... I turn the map as well. I am a good map reader and usual navigate on vacations. But without it I am useless. I can get lost going around the block. Literally I have. It's not funny when its me. Also I have no perception of direction. Tell me to go to the south side of the street and I will not do well.

Yes... I am comfortable with ALL my limitations. They make me unique!

Sounds more fun and less-stressful than spending Easter day with some members of my family

I'm joking of course, I love all my family--I just don't necessarily want to spend a significant amount of time with a few of them!

Anyway, here's to a nice sober weekend for all of us.
