What a day today.

Up at 7:00am so we can get a car and go to the woods. Enterprise is where we end up after a short bus ride (handy to have that Metro Card from yesterday!)

Davey and MJ bought 11 acres of land about three hours north of their place on the lower east side of Manhattan. Raw land (much cheaper than improved), wooded, random stone fences cutting through parts of it. Pretty in the fall with all the leaves off the trees (except for the evergreens).

We stopped at the BBQ Barn for lunch — it was OK — but HUGE portions. I should have stayed away from the fries — I felt like napping all afternoon.

After lunch we stopped at his friend Tom’s place one town over from the new land — great house — amazing patio cabana. Just a screened in room with a tool shed at one end. Would be great to hang out in the summer — no bugs.

It was dark by the time we got back to pick up Tom and bring him to the city. Called MJ from the car when we were close, and the saint ordered Indian food that arrived just after we did (which was 8pm)! Dinner and drinks for all — good conversation, and amazingly enough, a special on the Colorado River after dinner.

Rest of the evening catching up on email, blogging, and all the other stuff that has been interrupted by the site outage the other day. I still need to locate the original images for the blog header — there are ones from the SOB blog in there at the moment, and that ain’t right.
