Very cool

So it seems posting via email works. Awesome. Will be sticking with Blogger (and deleting all things Wordpress for now).

Hello?

(This post is very likely only directed at myself since I doubt that, assuming I actually had readers at some point, they are now long gone due to my absence...as it should be)

I know, I know...not much has been written here since my initial burst in 2010. Since then there have been vacations...many with Terry and her kids...Mt. Tremblant...Quebec City and Old Montreal...Wasaga Beach...Cleveland/Akron (Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is awesome!)...wine country overnights...Nuite Blanche...Southern California this past summer...However, my passion for blabbing about them online waned somehow...this is just a toy after all.

Nevertheless, the vacation that prompted this blog to begin with - Manhattan in September 2009 - is being revisited with a relatively spontaneous trip to NYC in January 2014.  So I thought I might try doing this again.

To keep my interest, I have been looking into how to use blogspot on my Blackberry.  This does not look to be a successful venture so I may move the blog over to Wordpress to use their app on the fly while down there.

Stay tuned...

Belated Treats

This post was originally an e-mail to my colleagues. Sorry no treats for you (unless you know where to find them).

Subject: Belated Treats

On our way back from vacationing in Fort Myers, Florida, we passed through Savannah, Georgia, for the night and ate dinner along the water front on River St. There are a few candy stores along the water front, all of which we browsed after dinner. One of them, "River Street Sweets", had a taffy machine and we watched as they made salt-water taffy that night. The free samples from the machine tossed our way were good (coconut). The old machine was very cool and it did everything, cutting and wrapping each one (photo attached). We were told that a batch of taffy made about 1,000 candies.

Anyway....my inamorata, Terry, bought an assortment of taffy at the store, some of which we ate in the car the next day on our push to Pennsylvania. The rest were shared with Terry's family and co-workers after we arrived home. It only occurred to me in the car somewhere in North Carolina that I should have picked some up for everyone here too. I'm a guy and not always thinking. I could blame it on exhaustion from an 8 hour drive from Fort Myers followed by a big meal of Caesar salad, Seafood Diane, raw oysters, a basket of "hush puppies" and a bottle of wine. But like I said, I'm a guy :)

To get to the point, the guilt stayed with me and I ordered some from the store when I got home.

Enjoy.
(you all know where to find them...)
