More from the shore

I know you've been waiting to see more of my pictures from Fort Hancock at Sandy Hook. Thanks for being so patient.


I wonder if they're still together.
You know, if anyone was going to make it, it'd be Nancy and Bryan.


I like rusty old things.


This is looking down a tunnel inside one of the mortars at Fort Hancock on Sandy Hook. This one's better bigger. Probably should have cropped it. Go ahead and click on it.

I just ordered a cool sweatshirt

...from Little Way Design, a Catholic, family business out of Pearland TX. I ordered the Mama Mary hoodie and they have lots of cool stuff. I just emailed with Connie-Faye, who with her husband David runs Little Way Designs. She was really great. I'll tell you all about my sweatshirt when I get it!

Update: Got my sweatshirt and I LURVE it! I wore it to work last week and got lots of compliments on it. The design is really rgeat. The jacket itself is a Jerzees shirt (zipper seems pretty solid) and it's good, but it's not the highest quality sweatshirt Jerzees makes. But, if it were, the price would probably been over $50 and I owuldn't have my awesome Mama Mary hoodie. I was very happy with the customer service and I like the designs a lot. If I were going to run a t-shirt fundraiser I would probably take Little Way up on their deal since it seems pretty hassle-free.

Takin' Pictures

Scott and Bebe and I went to Sandy Hook on Saturday while the boys were having a sleepover at Grandma and PopPop's. Took some pictures. Wanna see? Click on the picture to see it bigger.






Fooled around with all of them in Adobe Lightroom a little before I posted them. What do you think?

My Name is Yu Ming

Well actually, my name is Amy, but "My Name is Yu Ming" is a short film that Scott and I saw on TV a few months ago. See, living in the Metro NY area, I get NYCtv on my cable and they have a program called The Short List that runs short films for about a half hour. We caught this wonderful little film again last night and I just have to share.

My Name is Yu Ming is a film about a Chinese shopworker who learns Gaelic in getting ready to move to ireland. He gets into Dublin only to find that no one there speaks Gaelic. It's really just delightful. If the embed for whatever reason doesn't work, follow the link at the beginning of this paragraph and you can watch it there.

And Scott says he's never done the Raging Bull "You talkin' to me?" conversation with himself in the mirror like I see so many guys in movies do.
