One plus one does not equal two. It approaches two as an upper or lower limit.

3518 My weekend at the shore
Monday, April 23, 2012
Daughter, Hercules, Nugget and I all spent the weekend at a shore-front B&B in Ocean Grove. The original plan was for a big family gathering on Saturday to celebrate the Nugget's first birthday (which is actually this coming Thursday), but no other family members accepted the invitation. Sheesh. Nugget's little playmate Sky and Sky's parents came, and that was ok.
Daughter didn't get a cake for Nugget - she got a custard & fruit pie - and given the Nugget's speed at grabbing we didn't use candles. But there were balloons!
Nugget actually ate half that pie! There was a second pie for the adults. (The t-shirt says "Nobody puts Baby in a corner".)
Balloons! Nugget moves so fast these days it's difficult to get a still photo when she's on her feet.
The above is the hotel as seen from the boardwalk in the Saturday morning fog. My room was second floor left.
The above is the view from my room's porch, on Friday evening. Yeah, it needs editing, but no time right now.
Hmmm. I just tried to upload a second video (a more interesting one) showing what I woke up to on Saturday morning, but when I click on the "Upload a video" button now, it just sits and stares at me. I have to leave for dance class in a few minutes (yeah, Gypsy, it's BD, but again I'm not really dancing, just exercising), so I'll have to try again in a later post.
To be continued....

In the photo above, she already has two big strawberries in her mouth and is reaching for more.

1451 Saturday and Sunday
Sunday, August 26, 2007
FW's birthday party was yesterday. It went well, a lot tamer and quieter than I'd expected, especially after FW had spent the past several days putting together mix disks consisting mainly of Rolling Stones and Funk. She was planning on a lot of dancing, and I went geared up for dancing, but --- there wasn't any. They didn't look like a dancing crowd. It was all sitting and conversation. I may have been the only one who noticed and appreciated the music.
She made me the official photographer, so I had something to do (I'm very shy and quiet around strangers).
I got asked out by one of her male friends, a guy she'd met on an online dating site. Incidentally, another nudist. I didn't exactly say no, but I did tell him I'm involved and not available. (But it really is actually a "No".) He responded that FW has my number, so he'd check again sometime. But FW insulted him badly at the end of the evening, so I may be safe. I can't put FW on the spot by asking her not to give him my number, but now it's unlikely he'll be calling her anyway.
Another guy asked if I was a nudist, too. FW laughed and said no way! My eyebrows shot up, and I said that I don't even ever expose my legs. I wear yoga pants with my bathing suit. That surprised FW, but it's true.
I stayed late and helped clean up. Got home around 10 pm, found a phone message from Roman who wanted to know how it went. Called him. We talked about sites for photo storage -the conversation got rather frustrating. Not unusual with him.
Nothing much else. I'm just taking today to recover from the past four days of activity. "Down time."
Oh, and even though it LOOKS like I talked about people here, there's a lot of observations I didn't divulge! I'm being very good. Really.
