Morning In Vermont

While I was sleeping off my first hangover in about a decade, Laura took Yuula to the hotel pool. I'm sorry I missed it but who wants a floater interrupting their morning laps...


We headed home around 11, when it was clear the rest of the gang was gonna sleep thru it, and stopped at this little nugget at the state border...


Where they sold this...


Only in Vermont. PB&J Soda and maple syrup.

This Looked Familiar


Back from Vermont, and a day to digest. The weather was quite warm, and me in my monkey suit. We arrived early enough to wander the Main Street and live vicariously thru those who have real bakeries, chocolate shops and book stores instead of crap Mexican, eight Chinese takeouts and a shop called Condoms Galore.


As you can imagine the extreme spectrum of emotion occurred within a 4 hour period, wherewe partied like it was 1999, shutting down a bar and an after hours gathering on the street for no reason in particular, just because it felt like the natural thing to do.


Yuula clung onto the Gorman girls, an obvious choice as they are the most akin to her needs, and that is not meant to be a disparaging comment, at all.  

She may have even got an actual diamond bracelet out of the deal, but Renee has bling to spare.


And because we weren't nearly done went the town shut down, we gathered in a corner room at the Hampton to push thru the night, only giving in when someone peeled open a curtain to see the sun rising on 6am, and an hour or twos sleep sounded right.

Some real strange and lovely moments to think about, but the painfully underlying and unspoken theme was still "why has it taken this to get us all in the same room again?". But none while none of us were perhaps brave enough to vocalize vows to remedy, I think we may be witnessing a sea change...
