Went away for a little vacation again.  Nice and relaxing.

Anyways.  Who really thought that the Red Sox would be 12 games up on the Yankees on July 6th?  Any one?  This is turning out to be a great summer.  Now if we can only hold off the yearly post All-Star slide we should be all set.  I’m hoping they take 2 of 3 from the Tigers this weekend.  We need to beat some good AL teams.  The pitching is consistently there, just have to keep those bats awake for teams other than the D-Rays.

Haven’t paid attention to any news so nothing to bad to rant about.  Did check out the new Bon Jovi album, Lost Highway.  Pretty good, definitely a country feel.  Good vacation driving music.  We’ll be getting the new Velvet Revolver album this weekend.

One last thing, if you haven’t checked it out you need to watch Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends.  Very, very funny show meant for children, but still great for us late 30 year olds.

If you need a vacation suggestion I recommend Embden Lake in Maine.

We recently rented a cabin  on the lake.  It’s an absolutely beautiful place that is very quiet and remote.  It’s about 3 hours from the NH/Maine border.  No water slides, theme parks or much of anything else.  Just a clean lake and a chance to kick back and relax. 

Very enjoyable time, we cannot wait to go back.
