I'm sorry.

I leave for Germany on Sunday, so I've been very busy getting everything in order for my trip. I probably would still be leaving all my devoted reader(s?) waiting if it hadn't been for this.March sent me a link for the new MONO DVD, and what did I notice almost immediately? ME, and Gabriel in NYC!! Thats us in the red circle, I'm the dude running his hand through his hair, and she is the girl standing in front of me with a boys name.

I don't have time for a real post right now, but I'll let you be jealous in the mean time.

Busted

One of my many siblings broke the router for wireless internet a while back, which has prevented my updates until now.

I spent the weekend Rhode Island. Saturday and Sunday in the Westerly/ Watch Hill area, and then Monday in Newport. I was camping with my girlfriend and my family at Burlingame in down Westerly way, but spent my time with her. I noticed a few things while I was on vacation.

1. Lots of couples expecting children like to visit Newport. I cannot tell you how many young pregnant women I saw Monday alone. Of those that were pregnant I'd say a good 1/3 to 1/2 where Orthodox Jews from New York.

2. Rhode Islanders love expensive station wagons. I love cars that combine speed, utility, sleeper ability (ie: unnoticed by the five-O), and luxury. In that order. Although I didn't see any Audi RS4 Avants (they don't sell them here sadly), I did see Audi A6 wagons, BMWs 5 Series Wagons and Mercedes-Benz wagons of both the C & E class variety. The highlight of the
weekend was the über-rare Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG wagon. It wasn't the new E63, but it still rocks like no other station wagon does. This is a station wagon with 516ft pounds of torque, 469hp, 0-62 in 4.9 seconds and it was offered with an optional third row of rear facing seats.
