Summer fading

Ah Summer.... Now that I have three children the warm months are very much a different time of year. Time to review the highlights and lowlights:

Highlights
- Having a great time at the Silver Gull Club. I always thought beach clubs weren't for me.... wrong!
- Alexander's birthday in August. Number Two son is three years old. Two felt like three years packed into one year. The kid was ecstatic for 90 minutes until the rain came pouring down
-Dylan "finding himsef" at camp-- his independence and attitude. The kid is growing up
- Ryan, learning the 100 ft. sprint and only utilizing it when his parents aren't looking.
- Peace and quiet at the home office after 11:30 AM.
- Thinking I had a hernia and finding out it was a fat deposit that looks like a hernia.
- Spending some quality time with Uncle Robert (the Hawaiin variety) in Brooklyn and the Yankee game we went to.
- Meeting and getting to know Paul Quirke from Ireland.
- Meeting all the friendly old timers at "C" court
- Alexandra, as always, keeping it together
- Biking more than a couple of times down to the Silver Gull. I can now say I biked at least 50 miles in the last two months. More than the previous 6 months combined.
- Hanging at the Siren Fest (more like beach Island with Schultz) down at Coney Island.
- Getting to see The Stooges play for 2 hours.
- Riding the Cyclone with my wife in the second to last car, the second time.

Lowlights
- A bought of food poisoning yesterday-- It sucked.
- Ryan falling and getting a bump on his head
- Missing King Khan and the Shrines at South Street Seaport for free. Missing them again at the Mercury Lounge because I thought it would be easy to get on the guest list.
- Iggy Pop's lowriding jeans.
- Riding the Cyclone with my Mother In Law in the last car, the first time. OUCH!

Pictures will be forthcoming but it has been a great summer with the family!
