I am running on fumes now to be honest with you, I have just returned from “the rock” also known as Newfoundland. We left on Thursday night and crossed the gulf on the ferry for the night crossing. Thank god we had a cabin, and then we had the pleasure of a ten hour car ride. Talk about fun boys and girls, now tourist may enjoy the scenery but when you have seen it umpteen times well it gets old really quick.

We got to the other side of the island and got too relax and do some visiting with my wife’s family which was the whole reason for the trip in the first place. Then on Monday it was time for a repeat, ten hour drive and a six hour ferry ride (I forgot to mention how long it took) talk about fun right? Although I must admit it was a bit of a rough crossing last night there was a lot of ice and the ship brought up solid last night when it hit an ice pack so hard I had to grab the bunk to keep from falling out. As an added bonus the sip was rolling pretty hard, I guess it must have been windy out on the Atlantic. Mind you the sip rocking did not bother me but it made it hard to keep your balance let me tell you, besides the movement of the ship lulled me too sleep.

The highlight of the trip was spending some quality time with my wife and son, finally getting too meet my wife’s parents and a couple of the other family members I had not met yet. The best part of the trip is that I am home though let me tell you. I do not want to do that trip again any time soon. While I was down there I did not go and visit any of my family because, frankly I am sick of the bull shit that goes with them. You can pick your friends but not your family and too bad I say because sometimes I would like to be able too. But then again I am still the black sheep in my family so it is all good in my world.

I got a digital camera this weekend with a 128 meg memory card for it as well bought for me by my wife as an anniversary present, so either later on today of tomorrow or so I will put up a couple of pictures I have taken. Anyway got too go talk to you all later have a good one everybody.
