Becoming a Clydesdale

The past few months have been just a whirlwind of activity and traveling.  Me and the burrower went to New York City as she had never been and wanted to see the Big Apple (Ill give anyone who knows the origin of that nickname 4 street cred points if they post the answer).  This started my downfall, or I guess it would be upfall of the scale.  We did get to see some cool stuff. 





We might need to rethink our vacation plans when walking behind guys in haz-mat suits

Theres just to many pictures to post, but it was an exciting fun trip and thanks to my aunt and uncle who let us stay with them to save a little bit of cash.  But this trip also produced way to many trips to the kielbasa and gyro carts which litter the city.  But they were sure good.


2 weeks later was a surprise party for my best friend and his son (who also happens to be my godson).  This meant traveling again up to Chicago.  Because it was a surprise I couldn't see him before the party which sucked, but luckily Chuck was there to kill a few hours and help me finish a pizza.

 Now this is a place that knows how to make a pizza

Yup, this was another fun filled bad decision making long weekend in which took its toll on me.  Espcially having my flight cancelled and being stuck in the airport for 5 hours and then about 4 hours of sleep in a crappy hotel to compensate for it.

Bunny ears, its what grownups do when not taking shots

 Only dropped him once, not to shabby


Anyway, with all the traveling and lack of daylight after I get off work, the holiday pounds are starting to pile up, and espeically with all the holiday and work parties that I am obligated to attended.  Ok, not obligated, I just hear "Bar" and that is usually enough to get me to go.


I do have a makeshift paincave set up and ready to go.
But I usually just end up riding and watching Gilmore Girls.  At which point I go eat about a pound of chocolate afterwards.  Haven't quite figured out why yet though.   Anyway, just watch out, I'm coming for you Mutt in the short track series.
