Hello,
Chances are if you're reading this you are a member of my family or friends, or you're lost. If you are a member of the family or friends, I love you and I'll see you at the next birthday/communion/batmitzvah/wedding/festivas/arbor day get together or at work. If you're lost or if you are bored, thank you for coming, and hopefully I put some content to keep you entertained. If not, well you get what you paid for and I do hope you have a nice day.
I'm writing this from Staten Island, New York, part of New York City. Perhaps you've heard of our island on some reality shows like Super Nanny (she's been here a few times, what does that tell you!), or Jersey Shore (sorry, we're not all or even mostly like that). Whatever the case may be, it's really a nice place with a very diverse population of about a half million people (pending the 2010 census results, of course). I'm partial to old neighborhoods and big trees. It also has some really nice parks and, if you or someone in your family is a scout, a great Boy Scout Camp, Camp Pouch.
I'm hoping to write here every so often, focused around our trips, since we like going places, and I don't mean Met Foods on Victory Boulevard. I also hope that if you go anywhere interesting and accessible (as in cheap) I hope you can pass it along too.
In the future, I hope to write about our trips to the Adirondacks, my son's trip to Ten Mile River, and maybe even my dream trip to Arcadia National Park and to Mount Washington this summer. Wish me luck...
