The thing about dark skies and rainy days is that, if you wait long enough, the sun will always shine again.

Mr. History: Entry #1 The Oldest House in America!
Starting a little something new here on the blog, although maybe not really because I’ve posted stuff similar to this before. Ladydoc is always calling me Mr. History because I get intrigued about certain things and how they came about. I’m always reading plaques around the states and stuff to learn about the local history. So I figured I’d start with something really close to us to get this new venture off. The oldest house in America. that’s still standing! Anyways that’s kind of cool. So much history right in our back yard!
Love This Little Guy!
Love Letter to the Green Machine
I came across an image of a big wheel that I had as a kid and it brought back so many good memories for me. It was called The Green Machine. Naturally it was green but what set this thing apart was it’s steering mechanism. Pull shifting the two level back and forth you could rotate the rear wheels to make turns. I remember riding this thing into the ground! The tires were all plastic and eventually the big wheel in the front would wear away do to all the skidding and turning on the pavement. It got such that eventually there would be a “hole” in one part of the tire, the plastic completely worn down, and so every time that part of the tire hit the ground it would produced a thud. I think I drove my grandparents crazy by having that sound just go off over and over and over. I think you can actually see what I am talking about in the picture with me and the kick ass pants. Look to the bottom of the front wheel and you can sort of make out it’s flatness. Fun times! Also around this time for some odd reason my grandmother wanted the back yard to have a checkerboard type pattern which you can also see in the photo.
Whoop! Summer Games
Decided to finally pop on some WNBA game tickets down in Connecticut over the summer to see LD’s trainers kid play. She will be playing for the opposing team but that’s ok – haha!
Speaking of games here’s a couple of fun Gametime suggestions for you that I enjoyed solving: Bullet Teleporter and Silky Path.
I found a cute little Dedham Pottery pin depicting a view from the back of a bunny with it’s arm around another bunny looking at the stars. I knew LD would want this so I’m going to take a little jaunt out to Bedford tomorrow to go pick it up! Just a little small thing.
A Happy Little Cape Getaway Weekend
We had a nice little weekend getaway down the Cape to help celebrate LD’s birthday month. Here’s some of my highlights. I will say it was an awfully windy weekend down there but it was beautiful. Some fun stuff we got to do were some Chocolate Sparrow trips, dinner at a great place we like called Island Blue Crab (where our favorite Bulgarian waitress works), hanging out in such a cute little Airbnb right next to the water, grabbing another Dedham Pottery item to the collection, checking out the sunsets and just overall chilling out. Even set up a future trip in the area for August already! More pics from the trip over on the Instagram account.
Celebrating the Ladydoc Last Night
Last night we went out to celebrate LD’s birthday at a place called Black and Blue Steak and Crab. Since the establishment was participating in restaurant week we decided to go there, plus I like to try new places. Although the food was very good, it’s not really our vibe, but it was enjoyable nonetheless. When we got home I presented LD with some gifts that I got my little swimmer. A book by Katie Ledecky and some really cool looking smart AR goggles which have a heads up display in the eyepiece so you can see all kinds of stats as you are swimming – pretty futuristic looking, hopefully they’ll work well for her.
Happy Birthday LadyDoc!
Today, I celebrate you with all my heart… my friend, my love, my one-and-only. The smile that
brightens my day, the hand that feels so right in mine. We just fit together. You’ve brought so
much happiness and love to this life we share, and you’re with me everywhere I go… always on my mind, always in my heart.
That’s why I want to make your birthday as incredibly happy as all those days you’ve made
for me. So let me put my arms around you. Let me celebrate you with all my heart.. my friend, my love, my one-and-only.
It may be your birthday, but somehow, I lucked out with the best gift of all (you!)
Finding Colorful Turkeys in Town
Went into Brookline today to go check out some of the turkey sculptures! After finding some of them we went to Legal Seafoods and I bought LD lunch as part of this thing I’m doing for her birthday month which is everyday I do a little something, could be big, could be small, like yesterday’s corn muffin. Sort of like an Advent Calendar of the Ladydoc! Haha! We made use of the restaurant participating in Boston Restaurant Week so that was cool. After that we got some vegan ice cream and a place next door called Van Leeuwen. I ended up getting a hot chocolate while LD got some delicious vegan ice cream flavored treats.
Seeing John Cusack Live and In Person!
As one of my xmas gifts, LD got us tickets to see John Cusack down at the Emerson Colonial in Boston. Never actually been inside that theater before although I must of passed it tons of times. There was a showing of his movie High Fidelity and he was going to talk about it after the screening. Of course my all time favorite Cusack movies are Serendipity, Say Anything, and my All-time favorite, Better Off Dead.
Was thinking it might be cool to try this beginner’s pottery wheel (one time) workshop, either with just us or maybe another one of our couples friends. Anyone out there game? Speaking of games….
Gametime: Dungeons of Deadrock (demo). Pretty cool little game. Also Part 2!
