Highlights.

I've been meaning to post some pictures from my adventures with Laura Fox a few weeks ago. We took a train to New York City, and I totally feel city-savvy now that I know my way around the Big Apple. We also went to my uncle's cabin, Gettysburg, Cowan's Gap, and we drove around Amish country for slightly longer than planned. I don't get lost; I just drive until I end up on a road I recognize. Here is a summary of the week in words and pictures:

Thank you, Harrisburg's Penn Station, for making such a phenomenal first impression.



The mob bosses are meeting to discuss the bodies in the trunk, witnessed from the 86th floor of the Empire State Building.

In honor of "In the Heights", I totally took "the A train, even farther than Harlem to northern Manhattan and maintain, get off at 181st and take the escalator, I hope you're writin' this down, I'm gonna test you later." It's an elevator, not an escalator, Usnavi, get it right.

Some artsy New York pictures...Central Park, Kevin's favorite books, Laura and her zebra friend, subliminal messages from M&M World (oddly enough, I craved chocolate after staring at this particular advertisment in Time's Square), etc.













And now I'm much too tired, let's consider this post "to be continued..."

Look at the baby!

Surprise event of the weekend: My newest niece was born Saturday morning at 5:41, and guess when she was due - November 5th. Just in case you're confused or a little out of touch, Saturday was not November 5th. It was, in fact, October 17th, meaning she was in such a hurry to reach the world that she came three weeks early! Crazy kid. Needless to say, she's tiny. 4 pounds, 11 ounces kind of tiny. But, she is absolutely beautiful and has one heck of a big sister: "Psy'renee Alayna Dennis" - I'm pretty sure her name is bigger than she is. Paris holding her baby sister's hand. Tender. Paris told Psy (pronounced 'sigh', as in psychology, psychotic, psychiatrist, etc): "It's going to be alright." I almost cried, it was that adorable. Paris holding her sister for the first time... ...and Paris being distracted by a Barbie commercial on the TV above her. Paris found an awesome hiding place for her solo game of hide-and-seek. Lo...

Third Adventure. Part Four.

The adventure continued on Friday, 4 June 2010, with the Annual Shareholder's Meeting and the reason why I went to Arkansas.  I don't recall much of the official business that took place, but I do remember the famous people.  Jamie Foxx was our host and the star of the day.  He is a very twitchy performer; it was hard to get a clear picture.  He sang, he joked, he took Darell's jacket, he imitated Ray Charles... He was absolutely hilarious.  And I loved him on Sesame Street.    Famous person number two, and I still can't get over this: Enrique Iglesias. When in my life would I ever actually see him in a live performance?  That's right.  Never.  This may come as a shocker, so prepare yourself, but he's not actually the greatest singer.  He's really very pitchy, but his earpiece-thing came out, so I'll try not to judge too harshly.  Also, he's very pretty, and, he jumped off the stage and came out into the crowd about te...
