Once again we picked Jenn up from overnight camp at Silver Lake and stopped at Kent Falls for a picnic. This was the most crowded I’d ever seen it, but it was a nice day – mid-80s and not too humid. The falls we lower than I would have expected, considering the rain we’ve had [...]

Out of my gourd
Posted in connecticut, Culture, Family, Nature, Tradition on October 20, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Could there be any more quintessential cultural experience of a New England autumn than leaf peeping? That’s the colloquialism for taking a long, slow drive on back roads to look at the changing scenery. It’s long and slow because you’re behind a couple of dozen lost New Yorkers who managed to find their way out [...]
Anniversary afterthoughts
Posted in Anniversary, connecticut, Family, Food, Marriage, Relationships on October 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I knew that I would be expected to say a few words at the anniversary party. I spent some time thinking about what to say; should I be funny? Pithy? Should I look for quotes from famous people like Bacall and Bogart? Read a poem? Present a Powerpoint slide show? While I was thinking about [...]
Anniversary Aftermath

The remaining surviving members of the Accuosti anniversary reunion party attacking an unsuspecting herd of Belgian waffles at brunch the next morning. The traditional method of silently surrounding the waffles and then ritually drenching them in fruit syrup and whipped cream has taken many Belgian waffles out of the gene pool over the years. Nature [...]

This is the historic Longwood Country Inn at the edge of scenic Woodbury, Connecticut. Quite literally on the edge, in fact, as fifty feet to the left of this picture on Rte 67 is the border of Southbury. We’re having a family reunion of sorts as my parents celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Clicking the [...]

3 generations of the Accuosti family gather for breakfast at the crack of, er, nine. Most of us got here last night, and some more family will be coming in later on today before the party starts at 6:00 pm here at the Longwood Inn. Signs posted on the doors informed us that breakfast would [...]
How I spent my summer vacation – Part 2

I know – where’s Part 1, right? Briefly, I flew down to the Orlando area where my wife and her family were having a reunion of sorts. I hung around trying to relax amidst the various family and friends who stopped in, left, came back, stayed for dinner, slept over, left, and returned with others. [...]

For some reason known only to the gods of teh int3rw3bz, one of the most consistently popular blogs on WordPress is a place where people send in terminally cute pictures of cats (they allow token other animals, but it’s mainly a feline blog) that have been “capped” – tagged with sickeningly cutesy captions. The blog [...]
