Some people get so embarassed about photographs. They care what their picture looks like on their license or passport. Not me…nope.
I was sitting on the couch last night hugging my cats and I asked Laura to get the camera. I thought she should really catch this. So, she hustled quickly into the other room and got it. Why? Because any chance there is to take a picture of the cats, she hops on it. A picture of me? Well, let’s just say not that fast. Anyway, last night I was lucky.
Isn’t that just so cute? I am talking about me. Oh yeah, the cats too.
It’s funny to think that just a few years ago I was at the peak of perfection. I would walk down the road and people could hardly keep their eyes off of me. I would even hear faint whistles. Now, I am just a rarely shaven thirty something guy with some fat cats. Maybe we will start putting some pep into our walks at night…yeah, that will chisel my chest again and give me that buff, ripped feel.

I, like many others who are eager to get a jump on the gardening season (I’m sure), have been looking for some sort of an online schedule for plant and tree bloom dates for my area…which happens to be New York.
Right now, the only things I see are the Red Maples popping out the slight red haze that they offer every year at this time. They are the little red buds that seem to disappear after about a week or so only to come back as leaves in a few weeks. Also, our daffodils and other smaller bulbs are pushing through the mulch. I see a few little flowers, but not much more.
I am a pretty impatient person. It is one of my finer qualities. Here’s the thing…I do it every year. I have absolutely no idea when anything blooms in this area. I would’ve thought that by this time, there would be some awesome looking graphics online that shows all the bloom dates for all areas of the country. When I type in Google: “When do trees bloom in the Northeast,” I get a bunch of junk. Now, at least when someone types that in, they will see this post and offer me fantastic links to exactly what I am looking for.
I am getting a little tired of the gray and brown that I see every day driving to work. I just want to see sun and green. I want to go up to Sam’s Point and take some pictures to show you guys. I also wouldn’t mind taking out the motorcycle and gettin’ a little crazy. I promised the guys at work I would take it in at least once this year. Yeah, I know, that was off topic.
Anyway, if you know of the resource I am looking for, please pass it on. Thank you!

If so, you most likely want to market it. Well, have I got a deal for you. If you own a webstore, a classifieds site, are a dealer or just have tons of stuff you want to get rid of, export (or type) it all into a .CSV file and send it over to me.
I just added a pretty cool feature to the classified sites where I can bulk upload thousands of items at once. It takes about 30 seconds to place all your items online…all in one shot.
Soooo…if you are interested, please visit WebClassifieds.US, PetClassifieds.US, CycleClassifieds.US, BoatClassifieds.US or MotoClassifieds.US to get started. There is a link to more information right on each homepage.
Peace out.

Ever want to upload thousands of ads to a free classifieds website all in one shot? If you are a dealer or own a webstore you probably do.
That’s my pitch…how does it sound? Anyway, I just installed this nice new feature on WebClassifieds.US. You can read all about it here.
Let me know what you think. Ok?

Every Easter, Laura and I try to go to dinner at “Fife’n Drum” restaurant in Kent, CT and then hiking down at Bull’s Bridge. This has become a little tradition for us. It gives us something to look forward to during this time of year.
Yesterday was pretty fun. We got into Millbrook and took Rt.343 down to Dover, NY. 343 has some of the nicest houses on it! I just love to look at those places…horse farms and all that. Reminds me of one day in the future when I will sit with my feet up laughing at my past.
We took a bunch of back roads all the way into Kent, CT. We made it to Fife’n Drum about a half hour late, but the dude let us in anyway. The people over there in CT are a little different than the people that we live near. I am not sure they would put up with the barking dog my neighbor has. Yeah, they seem like the kind of people that might have a little problem with that, if you catch my drift.
Dinner was good, even though it was at 2PM. The thing that makes this day so much fun, is that we get to go hiking down at Bull’s Bridge after dinner.
Bull’s Bridge is a little covered wooden bridge right off Rt.7. The bridge is nice, but the hiking is nicer. There is part of the Appalachian Trail right next to it.
We go hiking all the way down to a small campground. I think it’s called 10 Mile Campground or something. It’s about a mile down the trail. There is so much to look at along the way…like an overlook and rapids and all that. It’s pretty damn cool.
We spent a few hours hiking and then came back to head up to Laura’s parents house for some dessert. Overall, I would have to say it was a rather enjoyable day. Enjoy the pics!
