I haven’t really posted much lately about the mundane, every-day, fun, fun, fun, we have around here. Mainly, becuase it’s more work than simply posting an article which I’ve read online, or a joke or youtube video I’ve been sent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here’s a little catching up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe’s indoor track season ended almost six weeks ago. Here he is waiting to run a 55 meter sprint at The Armory in Manhattan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here he is after taking the handoff on a 4 x 200 relay<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outdoor season starts in a few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile Tim’s CYO basketball season ended a couple of weeks ago, and last weekend was the awards ceremony at St. Augustine’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple of boys couldn’t make the ceremony –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a big deal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s Joe going through a “rite of passage” as we woke up with a flat tire in the driveway three weeks ago. Learn by doing. Joe turns 16 in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two Fridays ago Brigid and I did a morning walk out to the end of Croton point, called Teller’s Point. Brigid does it quite often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The end of Teller’s Point is a kind of Bluff, and you have to scramble down 50 or 60 feet to get to the water. Here’s Brigid – I stayed at the top –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course there’s this issue, which Brigid says doesn’t appy to her, since she was coming to this spot before the sign arrived <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another angle as Brigid walks around the tip of Teller’s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then today, Brigid and another Mom took Joe and six of his friends up to Liberty NY, for a big paintball session. Here’s Joe and his bud’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahhh, yes, never a dull moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
