**Well, it's the start of summer finally.   Time for cookouts, beaches, biking, and outdoor-thingies .. A lot of which I will largely ingore, but I hope to at least log some time at the beach this year.. Goodness knows I've been planning on going the past few years and have rarely got much time to go.
**I've added pictures from my trip to the first Rennaisance Faire of the season .. which was the Silver Kingom faire in Charlton, MA.   A very small faire, but we had lots of silly fun as you can see in the pictures here
**Strangely I've been following the World Cup pretty heavily this year... Well, most likely due to the fact there's a bit of a friendly betting pool going on in the group at my work.  Sadly I drew Nigeria (who are right out), but otherwise it's been quite entertaining.
**If you weren't aware, ConnectiCon is rapidly approaching.  The preliminary program guide is available for download on the site as well. Lots of fun diversions listed it looks like! yay! I so can't wait for vacation!
**Speaking of vacations, I'm still trying to rid myself of 2 old PCs so I can get a netbook. A netbook would be very handy for vacation. Definitely want to get one before DragonCon this september
