Los Angeles, New York, Baltimore

Snap shots on vacations used to cause slide shows in living rooms. I spent the better part of two weeks back east and these pics represent what my mangled brain managed to focus on. Trips can cause souvenirs. I came back with two Oriole t-shirts, a set of Oriole wristbands (to cover the breather on the Olds) and one genuine New Jersey Turnpike t-shirt too... That one is bad ass. "What Exit?"


Best part about flying Jet Blue is this screen. Nothing like being reminded that you are cruising at 30,000 feet going roughly 600 miles an hour while trying to get some shut eye...







Have you ever received a Social Security letter in the mail telling you exactly how much you've paid into the system? First seven entries were right here. Oh Thank Heaven for Seven Eleven. First paycheck was spent on one of the fancy top loading VCR's from Radio Shack. Almost bought the Beta... That gem was eventually stolen in our first and only home invasion not long after the purchase.









Our family eats Rappa scrapple and we use real night crawlers. You ever spend an hour or two creeping around in the dark at night with a flashlight and a bucket trying to sneak up on earthworms? Thats hardcore right there!


I included these trophies just for scale...



5 1/2 pounds, 21.5 inches long and the most insane part of my whole trip...
