It was a hot August day and the summer was winding down so I decided to drive to the Pine Barrens where I met DrLen whose car
was having brake light problems even as we parked near this sign for the safe concrete pipe company
and made our way into Hammonton to the Silver Coin Diner
where DrLen posed
before we explored the menu
and Len had the spinach pie
as I had the blueberry (Hammonton being the blueberry capital of the world) and banana pancakes
with syrup
and Len enjoyed his meal
as I took this self portrait
and tried to get a profile picture of myself and my food
when the rice pudding
put Len in a better mood
so that I could capture this collection sign
before we headed to the beach.
We went to Aisler Pond
where the life guard stand gave the info
but we had to ask why the water was quite so red
and then to admire the snack bar
and the trash bags
as Dr Len settled under a tree
and I watched our neighbors try to attract gulls
before looking at the tree above me in artistic mode
After the pool was emptied to move the ropes, we drove to Hammonton and recorded the water tower
before heading to Toni's Frozen custard stand
where they served other foods
but I focussed on the custard
and then looked at their indoor signage
and the napkin holder
before heading home where Fred was consoling Jane
who had lost her wisdom teeth the day before.
I began this day by meeting with the new photographer for communications
and then caught the train to New York where Sarah showed off her new hair
and Ed
Suzanne
and I
had our drinks
and then bread
before I got this collection sign
and we had our salads
and Ed's lamb
and Sarah's tortellini
which caused Sarah
and Suzanne to smile
before Suzanne's salmon
and my risotto
kept us going through my self portrait
and my aborted attempt to get a portrait of myself with my food
so that we walked down the street with the crowd in the birthday hats
and got to the theater to see Avenue Q
where after the show there were photo ops for Ed
Sarah
Ed again
me
and Suzanne
after which we headed to Penn Station and Sarah and Ed posed
and then Ed posed
as did Suzanne
until I joined Suzanne
and after a few more pictures of Sarah
the train came and Suzanne and Sarah sat on one side
while Ed and I sat on the other
as we endured the world's longest train ride with these tickets
