I had a busy, if uninteresting weekend, and I have the pics to prove it.

Friday night I finally had a good poker game. I won $6, which is a big night. Here’s a picture of Jim, and then later, Jim and Bob.

On Saturday, I went town to the Trenton State Computer Festival. This is the oldest computer fair and flea market in the world. I first started going to these around 1981. This one was not so interesting, but I did manage to buy a 16 meg compact flash card for a buck and some phono plugs. Here is an idea what it was like.

Sunday, I went up to the Reinbeck Flea Market, about 75 miles north of here. I didn’t buy anything interesting except some quilt patterns for Erica. But the good news is that the Historic Diner in Red Hook has reopened after it had a fire this winter. The old diner is very cool and for about $10 you can get a good home cooked lunch for two.

I brought Erica’s new fancy camera over to my Mother’s house. My Brothers Ward and Larry are going to Amsterdam tomorrow and I wanted to talk to them before they left. Here they are:

They wouldn’t hold still for a picture. They were out junking because it is cleanup week and were unloading their cache of gold and treasure form the car.

Here are some pictures of my Mom and the house.

I grew up here at 21 Vine Street, Central Nyack, NY. (They renumbered it to 19 a few years ago.)

That’s my old room – the left window on the second floor.

Mom made me take another picture of her in front of the flowers because the porch was covered with treasure from junking.

This is a picture of Zack, Mom and Larry’s cat. Zack is the world’s nicest cat. He loves to sit on your lap and just loves attention. Zack has cancer, but he’s on chemo and is doing very well.

It was just a boring weekend. I put about 300 miles on the car and have very little to show for it, but at least I filled up the time. Erica and I finally finished Night over Water by Ken Follet, the book on tape we’ve been listening to.

I just got back from doing some junking myself and I got a Paul Butterfield LP, a BBQ Bob and the Spare Ribs tape, and Angela’s Ashes and Hiroshima books on tape.
