Best news ever! I headed to Times Square after work today and discovered that Pee-Wee's coming to Broadway!
Who wants to go wacky at Pee-Wee's Playhouse? I do! I do!

Back to Dead Horse Bay
Guess I was too focused on finding treasures in the trash...
...or spotting little birds with orange beaks...
...and other creatures like "Happy the Humbug."
Usually, there are a few scary doll heads/parts littering the beach. Maybe someone collected them earlier that day.
Luckily, there were plenty of other neat things to watch out for.

Heading to the Bysterious Beyond!
My sister, Hillary, and I started a new family tradition last year: Camping at Clearwater State Park in western Pennsylvania.
Last year it was just Hillary, Spencer, Wyatt, Seth and me. This year TWO new additions joined in on the family fun--my brother-in-law, Dan, and brand new nephew, Jesse.
The whole trip was great fun, but my favorite part was heading back into the "Bysterious Beyond."
Finding more cool rocks to climb on...
...and more mushrooms to photograph for Spencer's collection. That's Spencer's finger, for scale.
OTHER HIGHLIGHTS:
1) Tubing. My camera battery died, so I didn't get any pictures--in the water, that is. (Hill, if you're reading this, you'll have to e-mail me a few photos to post here! Oh, and thanks so much for the awesome wedding gift. Seth and I love our new big blue inflatable "wedding rings.")
2) Friday night dinner featuring Hillary and Dan's chicken and veggie kebabs with tzatziki sauce. Delicious, colorful, and artfully arranged on the grill!
3) The Corbett Road sign Dan found while running errands. (Dan actually took photos of the Corbett sisters--aka Hill and me--standing in front of the sign but I was having a really bad hair day/bad T-shirt day and am too embarrassed to post the pics here. Note to self: face cleanser is NOT a good substitute for shampoo and the Cats T-shirt was cool in high school, but it's not so hot now.):
4) Discovering that Jesse can sleep anywhere, in any position. Too funny!
5) Chilly evenings at our cozy campsite. Check out more photos here at flickr!

June/early-July Redux - PART 3
Here's an email from my dad a couple weeks ago. He wrote, "Most scholars use a system that has BCE and AD, with BCE meaning before common era and AD meaning anno domini. For most people we are in the year 2010 AD, but for your mom and I we are in week three aTp. In our life we have before THE party and after THE party as our current time landmarks. I pretty sure this way of counting time will recede into the background sometime during 2011 AD." By THE party he means Seth and my wedding reception. I guess that's life when planning an important event. Ever since around Christmas, when we decided to throw a shindig to celebrate us getting eloped, I've been marking time this way as well, but I didn't have a handy name for it. Here's life bTp and aTp:

Exploring Green-wood Cemetery, one tiny peephole at a time:
Checking out the brand spanking new Luna Park...
...with everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) and their mothers. There was such a mob scene at the Stillwell Ave. subway stop when we decided to head home that I'm surprised no one got trampled. Other than that, though, it was--as always--a fun day at Coney Island. 
Arranging hundreds of tea roses into lovely centerpieces for THE party:

Chillaxin' with friends at Bridget and Kyle's beautiful home in St. Louis (and celebrating Bryan's b-day):
Gravity chairs! So much more comfortable than your ordinary lawn chairs. Seth and I are in the market for a new couch, but we might fill our living room with these babies instead.
What a ham!Enjoying the sights and sounds (especially of the frogs--croaking to each other) at the Watershed Nature Center in Edwardsville, IL:
Back in NYC--window shopping at Bergdorf Goodman--and trying to re-acclimate to life after THE party.
