Wow! It has been a whirlwind two weeks -- I haven't had a chance to breath, and my blog has been neglected. I'm going to quickly summarize the events so that maybe someday I can go back and Journal the fantastic time I spent with my family.

June 29th: Met up with all my Cousins and there wonderful kids in Pennsylvania, most of this crew I haven't seen in 10+ years.
June 30th: Grandma's Memorial service the graveside service was spectacular with Doves being let loose.
July 1st: The most excellent fourth of July Party at Jack's (we missed the fireworks).
July 2nd: Rush concert at Jones Beach. Thanks Brian and Niki for the tickets. Tailgated with Rob Scott and the brothers -- swapped Confucius says jokes.
July 3rd: China Town for Lunch with my family, brought back all sorts of memories of Hong Kong.
July 4th: BBQ in Greenport, Amy's new grill was put to the test and came through superbly.
July 5th: Bringing in Bluefish by the Dozens during surface blitzes all around Peconic Bay.
July 7th: Clamming outing with Aaron and Gabby. Fireworks on Shelter Island (almost so Utopia in Flames)
July 8th: Party at the house. I was sure Carrie cooked too much food, all of which was outstanding, but I was mistaken Shelter Islanders can pack it away.
July 9th: Crabbing under Second Bridge and a sunburn.
July 10th: Wind down with wine and cheese on the boat to close out the day.

Whew, except for Dad being sick for a large portion of the time it was wonderful.
