Another terrific celebration of Aaron's (29th) birthday (!) in Albany Twip!, Maine. Deep-fried turkey, Nick's Ribs, lobster, Reese's Pieces, Oreos, Dominoes, candy corn, Pink Flamingo at Rest Anniversary Cake (Happy 10th A to Pam & Paul), Birthday Cake, Trivial Pursuit for Young People, Horseshoes, 'Smores, Donettes, bagels, wood choppin, garden argula salad, the New Balance store, and 11 pies worth of good weekend. By Monday afternoon, two pies (blueberry and mixed) remained uneaten (a testimony to the sheer bulk of other fabulous food to eat). Aaron, Liz, Megan T., Jed and I were flying back to New York, and we wanted the pies to fly back to New York too. Alas, like Leathermen, pies are too dangerous for air travel, so we were forced to consume both pies right there at security. Happily, friendly airline people gave us plastic forks, two of Liz's pie-eating friends also happened to be flying through Portland, and the Swedish Boyfriend Store Attendant was selling milk. The 7 of us, plus Swedish Boyfriend, managed to polish them both off with no undue alacrity. I felt it really put the cap in the weekend.
Props to the United Airways Portland employees for putting my wicked-evil leatherman into my checked suitcase after it had already disappeared behind the iron curtain. Props also to Paul, Aaron's step-father, builder of the birthday party home, grower of a great beard, and cleaner of fecal flooding; Pam, Aaron's mother and hostess extraordinaire; and Aaron, for everything else.
Here's a long, silly
movie of Aaron deepfrying some turkey. You have to register with
www.yousendit.com to download the video, I think. It's worth it.
And a bunch of other
pictures from the weekend are uploading right now. Should be done in an hour or so? without labels, but those will come.
