June Visit
2008.04.24 17:38
Charlie and Shannon are planning a trip to see the Yankees before this stadium is history. Hey Charlie, we have the grass ready for you!
Of course you will be cheering toward the fake stuff, but we still have lawns for you to see, smell and feel.

Spring has Sprung
2008.04.21 18:38
Spring has happened again! In my favorite corner of the world winter seems to last forever. Then, when you are sure it will not end, fruit trees turn to flower and you remember why you lived through winter's bleak second half.
I had to take some time at lunch and just sit under the canopy. It could not be helped.

Looks like my mother got to a sign maker. Actually this is a language school in the mostly Brazilian neighborhood in Danbury, CT. For a country renowned for tiny bikinis, these folks know how to eat! One of the joys of my long drives to the Danbury factory are the lunches. There is a local lunch spot on the WCSU campus that makes a burger to put Fatburger to shame! Egg, Bacon, Sauces, Wow!
Everyone feeling the cold here in New England can wish Chuck a Merry Christmas. He and his wife are travelling to Brazil to spend some time with her family. The exact quote was...
"I will be spending Christmas in shorts and SPF-50."
First Storm
2007.12.13 14:23
The first snow storm of the season is threatening. The company sent us home at noon to cut the risk to employee safety. It started this morning with really small hail. The morning commute was clean and clear but the clouds were looming. By 11 it was coming down fast.
New England is ready for this stuff. The wipers are "up." The plows were already on it when I hit the road. The commute was slow but easy.
Hey, what's outside your window?
Frosty!

Hang the Witch?
2007.10.30 19:54
From Burning to Hanging, New England has never been kind to witches.
Halloween is upon us in South Sleepy Hollow. The parade was Sunday Night and included a street party with DJ! We were dancing on Main Street. I swear Halloween is bigger than Christmas.
The light posts are decorated with Jack O'Lanterns and ghosts and witches (as above). The air is finally right for October and tomorrow the kids come ringing.
That thing got a Hemi?

We caught John Reap and 4 finalists from Last Comic
Standing last night. It was good to get out and have
some adult fun. We went to the "fancy" Italian place
for dinner. We listened to a few hours of comedy.
Finished off at the late night bar and wrapped it up.
Not bad for a work night!
In case you were counting (Charlie) it was:
1 bottle of Chianti
5 glasses House Red
3 Amstel Lights
2 Franziskaner
for 2 drinkers.
No driving required!

October, Finally

Monday it was still summer. Highs in the 80's, A/C
running, shorts, the whole deal.
Tuesday it rained. Biblicly. About 50 hours sometimes with rates of 6 inches per hour. My boss got flooded Thursday night. She has 2 feet of water in the basement. Her neighbor's cars are in it to the steering wheel.
Now it is Autumn. Highs in the 60's, heater running, sweaters, the whole deal. My squirrels warned me.

Perhaps more often in October, but Tarrytown has it's fantastic side. That is a castle on the hill. This view is from the Tappan Zee bridge on a sunny rush hour. Lyndhurst is down below closer to the Hudson
Our high school is Sleepy Hollow and their mascot is the Horseman.
I have often lived in places where Halloween is "bigger than Christmas" and feel very comfortable here.

Tarrytown
2007.10.01 19:00
In an effort to maintain the posting habits of Mr. Charles Cornish, I took this photograph of my new home in Tarrytown, NY Charlie Style! That is Tarrytown on the Eastern shore of the Hudson River. The river is 3 miles wide here and was considered an inland sea by the Dutch settlers.
That is three lanes of traffic in my mirror. The blur in the Jersey barriers should indicate ~ 65 miles per hour. While taking a photograph.
I'm BAAAACK!
