Baby boy will be 3 months old in a couple days. He's been getting really good at holding himself up on his arms, so it was cool to get these pictures.

The little guy is dealing with some Eczema. This was a quick and dirty edit for tonight. I'll have to sit down at some point and pull it into to PS to do some retouching.

Baby boy is looking healthy and happy. I can't help grinning right back at him, he's so cute. Lots of babies get mild skin eruptions; they eventually clear up.

Great picture!

That's either great timing, or the he's just like play doh and he stays where you put him. hahaha Big happy smile.

After a late start, we made it to Mystic, CT. Can anyone advise on Christo’s Pizza?

I know it’s a tourist trap these days but I love the Greek style pizza at Mystic Pizza for a change of pace from traditional Italian style.

Do you have Greek pizza places up there? We probably like one of the NYC-style places here in NL better, but we get pizza from a Greek place more often, because it's still tasty and significantly cheaper.

We do but usually order from the Italian place down the street.

North End is real Italian and you can't beat it!!

Pizza Regina - the original in the N. End, not the chain restaurant in the malls, has the best pizza around here but, NY pizza is still hands down the best pizza. I like that place Johns that’s inside what looks like an old church. It’s a little outside Times Sq.

The only place I’ve ever found outside of NY that had truly great NY style pizza was this little place in Santa Barbara called Uncle Rocco’s NY Pizza. Greasy crispy goodness!

This might be the video clip that launched my voice fanclub among a small subset of brilliant, witty, and amazing TPF members...

I don't get the attraction other than talking film which is a little naughty....

With the hype I was expecting James Earl Jones, Dan Castellaneta, or Mel Blanc.

Funny Pizza story. First week I was at college in the dorms. Another new guy clearly from the east coast came up to me and asked if I wanted to go in half on a pie. It was about 8:30 or so, and I was like yea I like pie. Thinking that's pretty wierd to share a pie. And I was thinking to myself are we going to eat half a pie each? I did have a mini fridge, but nothing to wrap anything up.

So, we head into town and he points out a take out place that does quite a few different things. I was like yea ok. So, we walk in and he goes what do you like on your pie. And I am thinking to myself, what does he mean on my pie, like whipped cream? And I don't even see pie on the menu board.

And then he goes, I like burger and onions. Hahaha right then it hit me. He was talking Pizza the whole time.

Isn't sex with attractive people some form of "goodness" ...?

Oh my goodness!

Morning, hosers.

I'm off today because my cousin from Oakland was in the area this weekend and wanted to stop in to meet Jack. I've used the time this morning to get some papers graded, and to work on culling the photo set from yesterday from the 78 that I downloaded to the 15 that I'll actually edit. Working on global edits and cropping this morning -- more serious photoshop work from where I effed up will have to wait. (flash reflections in the windows, backgrounds that weren't clean, etc).

Then, I have to work tomorrow, and I'm off for the rest of the week. It's nice (and I'm fortunate) to be able to spend the time with family.

One day work week? Why even bother lol. Good for you. Ok I’m sure the kids will be thrilled with the extra daddy time.

I’m in the office at the beginning of this week for some FTF meetings then working from home Wednesday and off the rest of the week.

I have some desserts and apps to make for Thanksgiving dinner. Baked Brie in a pastry with apples (if I can find the recipe I used last time). Black and White Chocolate Mousse cake for the non pie eaters and Throw Everything in There cookie bars for the teenagers and little ones.

We ended up at Frank’s Gormet Grill, next to the hotel. We were extremely satisfied.

Back on the road after a brief stop In downtown Mystic. I took a couple shots with the DSLR so I’ll post tonight.

Good Timing on the kid pix.

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. It was 51F this morning as I headed off to work. (Gary's early day.) It should warn up to a balmy 76F. We have a problem with Miss Maggie ... a pee problem. She gets so excited greeting new people and so happy to see Mary Lou or Gary upon our return or even get out of bed ... her whole body is moving and shaking and her little tail is moving so fast that it becomes invisible ... then she uncontrollably pees. Poor little girl ... no big deal on the wooden floors, but the carpets are a bit more problematic. Now, when Mary Lou and Gary return home, we enter through the side gate and call Maggie out to the patio ... where we can easily hose away her excitement. Now Mary Lou want me to call before entering through the front, to give her time to secure Maggie May in the back, away from the carpets. Gary knows, that with time, Miss Maggie will have greater bladder control and we become less exciting, that the problem will go away. But for now ... we have a puppy.

Is that the one in the blue building by the Hampton Inn?

I haven’t been since it changed hands but it used to be pretty decent. There’s also Mango’s in Old Mystic that’s pretty good.

Depending on how early y’all roll out in the morning, you should try to swing by Clyde’s Cider Mill if you’ve never been. They still use an old stream press for their apples, and their cider donuts are top notch.

We were at the Residence Inn and it was across the road. Honestly didn’t see what it was next to.

The waitress at Franks told us about Clyde’s so we stopped on the way out; grabbed a couple tourist wines and can see for TG dinner. We might stop back on return run, depending on the details of a meetup I‘ve been working on for a year or so.

We found a gormet place near Broadway that we liked - Jon’s.
