While on our way to visit my sister and her family in New Hampster, Kelly and I were unfortunate enough to be stuck behind a car that started driving a bit erratically. Then things really got crazy.

Just don’t look like a seal, buddy
Every summer one of the rituals we go through here in the Greater Boston area is the appearance of everyone’s favorite apex predator, carcharadon carcharius, or the Great White shark, off Cape Cod. I was just a kid when they filmed Jaws on Martha’s Vineyard but I do remember seeing all the references to the movie the next time my family went to the island. And apparently there are a lot of people (besides me) who still think about the movie and its relationship to the island, including the author of this new book that I very much would like to acquire.
“If you need this…
…you shouldn’t have married him.” The immortal words of Teri and she’s so right.
Teri is getting married and so, like me when I was engaged, she’s getting a lot of wedding related crap via email. Today she got this.
The new jobs
I have not talked about my jobs in a while, and I wanted to let people know how they were going.
They are going quite well.
Love and Marriage
A couple of our friends are getting married soon and so we’re back in the throes of wedding planning. Or, rather, I am as I’m assisting with stuff and things for one of the weddings. It’s nice to be working on it for someone else this time around, my experience is helpful, I can back off when necessary, and it isn’t my parents who are getting upset. 🙂
That’s why these two articles on Boston.com caught my eye.
A new tourist attraction
This article was published on Boston.com today. It hit several other news outlets as well and was forwarded to us by a couple of friends. As you can imagine, the general feeling was, “Don’t ever let Geoff go there now that this is law.”
What’s wrong with this picture?
If you get regular Groupon emails you know that they’re always trying to be a little edgy. Or, at least sometimes, their humor is a bit tongue in cheek. This time, however, they either missed funny entirely, or someone re-purposed their Mother’s Day email and didn’t check the results of the Find and Replace function completely. Whoops.
How cool is this?
JCPenney has issued a new Father’s Day ad campaign that really makes me smile. It features a family with two dads. And it turns out this is an actual family, not just actors portraying a gay couple with children.
Chocolate what???
Forwards from our parents
Geoff and I both have Parents With Email. This is often a good thing as it is easy to get in touch with one another. We can email family photos and wedding related things back and forth. Things that 10 years ago would have required a carefully timed phone call can now be handled over the internet.
Except for the forwards. You know, those forwarded emails that you sometimes get? Our anecdotal research suggests that you are 1000.00% more likely to receive them from your parents than from anyone else you know. Or have ever met. Or will ever meet.
The Books are Taking Over...
