Concord, New Hampshire (Nikon Coolpix 4500) We've had a bountiful harvest this year. The tomatoes are really coming on now that we got rid of our tomato horn worms. We realized too late that a few saved caterpillars would have made a pretty cool project for my mom's first graders.
We also have plenty of Swiss chard, more really than you would want to eat, unless you're my dad and then you can't get enough of the stuff. However, it goes great in Deborah Madison's delicious Chard and Onion Omelet. { Sunday, August 29, 2004 | Comment # }
Kimball Pond, New Hampshire (Nikon Coolpix 4500) We threw the canoe atop the mighty Focus this morning and found our way to Kimball pond in Bow. We had the pond to ourselves and saw herons, hawks, ducks, turtles, frogs. Sadly, Kimball Pond is a little too weedy for swimming. Who knows what might be lurking down in those weeds? I know that they have Northern Snakeheads in Maryland and Washington, D.C. and it won't be long before they're nibbling our toes up here in NH. I'm not taking any chances. (OK, so I took a small chance and went swimming in our pool, which is filled with Japanese Beetles.)

Concord, New Hampshire (Nikon Coolpix 4500) ... Compare with the one I took with a Polaroid Fall is coming, no matter what Dylan says. Beth and I spotted two trees starting to turn and I started school this week.

Portland, Oregon (Nikon Coolpix 4500) We had a wonderful visit from Aunt Linda, Uncle Phil, and cousins Emily and Leah who accompanied me up Mount Kearsarge in the rain. Leah and Emily are the only little girls I know who love to hike, and they like it even better in the rain and fog. Beth, Mable, and I still need to make the drive to Pittsburgh to see them at their house.Yesterday we spent the day in Gilmanton Iron Works with Kelly and Joe. We bushwhacked up the mountain behind their house and made pizza. { Monday, August 16, 2004 | Comment # }
Concord, New Hampshire (Nikon Coolpix 4500) The second-to-last Phish show is tonight.
My second-to-first Phish show was a little over 10 years ago, July 3, 1994 at Old Orchard Beach. I was 17, and Beth's parents were crazy enough to let a kid who'd had his driver's license for a year and a half drive their oldest daughter to Maine for the weekend... to see a rock concert. I spent the whole drive to the concert telling Beth about what she should expect to hear and see. I was particularly excited for her to see Phish's aquarium stage (pictured here) that I had seen at my first show. Turns out that that stage was made especially for the 1993 New Year's shows, never to be seen again. Imagine our disappointment. So, we had to settle for the visual spectacle of seeing the guy beside us on the lawn take too much of something and collapse into a twitching ball. There was only one thing to do at that point -- go buy t-shirts. During the show Beth developed a little wiggly head-bob dance that she uses to this day at concerts where the band is good enough to inspire her to dance. (Those good-enough bands are Spoon and Stephen Malkmus, for those of you who are wondering.) The show ended with fireworks exploding while Phish played Jimi Hendrix's Fire, and Beth was officially a fan, now game to drive all over the place with my idiot friends to see more and more Phish. Phish Update from the Burlington Free Press: One section of the camping grounds was empty Friday, the mud so thick that all the cars that had been parked there Thursday had been moved and the piece of land abandoned. Yuck. { Saturday, August 14, 2004 | Comment # }
Portland, Oregon (Nikon Coolpix 4500) Two Years ago today & one year ago today. This year today: feeling a little sad that I'm not driving to Vermont for the final Phish show.

Concord, New Hampshire (Nikon Coolpix 4500) 1. An awesome t-shirt from an awesome website called You Have Bad Taste in Music.
2. What songs your favorite Red Sox players want to hear when they come to the plate. No surprise that Nomar requested silence. { Sunday, August 08, 2004 | Comment # }
West Bond (4,540'), New Hampshire (Nikon Coolpix 4500) After our two-day hiking trip my dad only has one more 4,000-footer to bag in New Hampshire. Fourty-seven down, one to go.
On day one we hiked up past the Zealand Hut on the A.T. to the summit of Zealand (4,260'), then made our way over Mt. Guyot to Guyot campsite where we spent the night. Rain threatened all day and a thunderstorm finally hit us once we were above tree line on Mt. Guyot, forcing us to back-track and find cover in the trees. The rain let up long enough for us to get to camp and eat dinner, then it rained for most of the night. Thunderstorms are pretty awesome at that elevation if you're under cover, scary as hell when you're out in the open. The next morning: blue skies. We left camp at 8:30 a.m. and got West Bond (4,540'), Bond (4,698'), and Bondcliff (4,265'). It was an incredible day for hiking and we climbed some great peaks. My dad says West Bond is one of the best spots in NH, and I agree completely. Here's a little 5-photo album of the hike. { Thursday, August 05, 2004 | Comment # }
